3) Like having a good conscience. So many people desperately need a kind smile or gesture...........and it takes such little effort on our part.
4) Visiting or volunteering at a nursing home is very rewarding.
5) On another thought, for those who want to live forever, sometimes "forever" isn't a pretty sight. Lots do live to very old age but are not in the tip top shape they might be in at age 70 or younger.
6) I don't dwell on how long I will live.......although I do have longevity on both sides, with no cancer.........just take it a day at a time.
7) When we get pictures of our grandbabies, which is often, that really makes us happy and is good for our immune system. Anyone who has ever seen a newborn infant and marveled at its perfection......KNOWS that God exists and that a higher power will oversee things.
8) Maybe when tragedy happens, it was their time to go on to something better......I truly do not believe death is anything to fear. Thus, we should all live life and not be so concerned with what we eat nor don't eat.
9) Live a little. Have another piece of that birthday cake.

In the past, I sometimes suspected that the word "preaching" carried an off-color connotation. But now I see it as an encouragement to do better. "Preaching" is actually a good thing! Let's see if I got the essence of all the above points:
1) Faith in God is good, it transcends one's ego.
2) Be kind, compassionate and do good deeds.
3) Have a good conscience.
4) Be a volunteer.
5) Be careful what you wish for; living forever isn't always pretty.
6) Don't get ahead of yourself by thinking you will live forever; take it one day at a time.
7. Having a baby is good for your immune system and reinforces the existence of God.
8) Live your life and don't fear death; eat what you like.
9) Live a little; have another piece of cake.
I take it that you are preaching all of the above as a cancer prevention regimen. It's not exactly the same as what I would "preach" but I will defend your right to have your own opinions.
