There is no a hundred percent certain way to prevent cancer but there are some recommendations following which you can minimize the risks:
– Minimize consumption of carcinogenic substances, i.e. quit smoking, consuming alcohol, ready-to-cook food, fast food, sweets, red meat, and so on.
Smoking is proven to be the main reason for lung cancer development. It can also promote the development of other types of cancer such as oral, esophagus, vocal cords cancer, as well as other health conditions, such as COPD.
The carcinogenic food is believed to be one of the major inducing factors of intestinal cancer and other digestive tract tumors and alcohol can promote the onset of ulcers and subsequently tumors of the stomach and the liver, oral cancer, esophagus, and even breast cancer.
– Minimize exposure to harmful substances. It is advised not to work with hazardous gases, vapors, and other substances without proper protection.
– Incorporate physical exercising in your daily life. It is proven that the lack of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle, as well as obesity, increase the chance of development of colon and breast cancer.
– Do not go out without sunscreen on the beach, in mountains, and in general where there is an active sun and insufficient shadows. UV is the major reason for melanoma development which develops from regular birthmarks.
– Use vitamins and medications to improve your immune protection to minimize the risk of viruses. An important factor in cancer development plays virus. Hepatitis B raises the likelihood of liver tumor development, and Human papillomavirus significantly raises the probability of uterine cancer development.
