🌿 Natural Focus:
Cancer cells feed on sugar. Excessive consumption of sweets, sodas, and hidden sugars in processed foods can increase cancer growth and weaken natural defenses.

✅ Tip of the Day:
Replace sugary snacks with fresh fruit. Train your taste buds to enjoy God’s natural sweetness instead of processed sugar.

🙏 Spiritual Focus:
📖 “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” — Psalm 119:103

Prayer suggestion:
“Lord, help me crave what is good and life-giving, not what destroys.”
