After watching this interview, you might want to think twice about whether your family is protected or not.

We recently had the opportunity to speak with funeral director of IRA Kaufman, David Techner. He offers some very personal, insightful, and interesting stories on his life and his experience with the deceased. As it turns out, his experience is far-more rooted in the lives and families of the deceased than the actual deceased.

Check out the video interview below. After watching, you’ll probably want to consider acquiring changes to your life insurance (or getting it if you have no life insurance at all). If that’s the case, reach out to us at MyInsuranceExpert.com – we’ll take care of all your life insurance needs!

February fourth was world cancer day. Since 1971 when then President Nixon declared war on cancer we have seen that despite the spending of billions of dollars, not much headway has been made in reducing the cancer mortality rate. To make real headway we need to turn to genuinely preventing cancer.

If a pill was invented that could reduce your chances of getting cancer by 1/3 there is a fairly strong likelihood you would want to take it.  Good news then.

Did you know?
Many cancers can be cured if detected and treated early.

Steps to take
Get screening tests for cancer (e.g., breast, colon, prostate, etc.) as advised by your doctor. Do cancer self-exams, too. Find out more by going to Cancer.gov

Did you know?
The American Cancer Society states that about one-third of all cancers in the U.S. could be prevented with a healthy diet

Steps to take
Eat a balanced diet. Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans. Maintain a healthy weight. Learn More from cancer.org

Research have linked a personality link with the development of cancer. People who tend to have a “helpless” and “hopeless” view about life may be more prone to cancer and may succumb to it more quickly once a diagnosis is made.

Diet is the single greatest factor related to the likelihood of getting cancer, responsible for some 35% of all cases. Tobacco use is close behind with responsibility for 30% of the cases. Alcohol and sun exposure cause 6% of cases.

Research conducted at the Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has found that women who consume large amounts of Beta Carotene and Vitamin C, which can be found in dark green and yellow vegetables and fruits, were less likely to get cervical cancer. In addition, women with diets high in Vitamin E reduced their risk by 33%.

For decades, a cancer diagnosis usually meant death. This is no longer the case. Now 50% of all Americans diagnosed with cancer will survive. The survival rates of people under the age of 55 are even greater. The chances of recovery from some types of cancer are as high as 80-90%. Early detection and treatment is your best defense for survival.
