Hey Everyone

Meet Tyson

He was the star of his basketball team, but half way through his season he got Esophical/ stomach cancer and died. ClipArt

Someone that doesn’t get enough fruits and veggies, consumes high salt cured and smoked foods, and has an imbalance in stomach acids is susceptible to Esophical or stomach cancer.

If it’s in your family, you might get it.

The first time Tyson noticed something wrong was when he had indigestion for more than 2 weeks!!!

Other signs of this cancer: *blood in stools *vomiting*rapid weight loss

What could we have done to help Tyson??

Tyson should have eaten more complex

carbohydrates and fiber. Foods like fruits, veggies,

and whole grain could have saved his life.

Do you like whole grain spaghetti, black beans, rasperries, or artichokes? You should!! This will help prevent cancer!

In the early stages of his indigestion, Tyson could have had a Hemoccult Test. This is where they test for blood in the stool. This could have help detect the cancer earlier.

This is what Tyson could have been doing…..
