The Angela Elaine Nowell Foundation was established to honor the life, memory and legacy of Angela Elaine Bell-Nowell.  The foundation will pursue and provide research in the areas of cancer, stroke, blood pressure, brain health and other health issues that affect people.  We will give resources to help people to reduce the risks of major health issues and assist people in need.

Cancer

Cancer develops because something has gone wrong with one or more of the genes in a cell within a person’s body. Cancer attacks the DNA in the body and the cancerous cells can mutate and multiply (See image). Multiple factors can cause cancer. Some include smoke (and second-hand smoke), exposure to environmental toxins, genetics, infections from bacteria, unhealthy foods, free-radicals, etc. Free-radicals are unstable atoms that are formed during metabolism or by exposure to environmental toxins. In excess, free-radicals can damage cells in the body, cause diseases, and accelerate aging. The damage to cells caused by free-radicals, especially the damage of DNA, can contribute in the development of cancer and other health conditions. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic instructions in the body for development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known organisms.

Stroke & Brain Health

High blood pressure and strokes can affect brain health. Elevated blood pressure can cause strokes which leads to Aphasia. The problems of Aphasia can occur suddenly after a stroke or a growing brain tumor or disease. Aphasia is a disorder that affects a person’s ability to communicate. It hinders a person’s ability to express and understand written and spoken language. In severe cases it can prevent a person from swallowing food safely.

Diabetes

Diabetes is caused when your blood glucose (blood sugar) is too high. Blood glucose is the body’s main source of energy. Insulin is the natural hormone that is made from the pancreas in a person’s body. Insulin helps extract glucose (sugar) from food so it can be used in the body’s cells for energy. When the pancreas is not producing the proper amounts of insulin then the excess glucose floats in the blood stream which becomes toxic to a person. Some of the factors that cause diabetes are an unhealthy diet, unhealthy immune system and stress.
