Cancer Prevention: Simple Ways to Prevent Cancer

Cancer Prevention

◊ Healthy lifestyle

Eat healthy balanced diet

Eating a healthy balanced diet may lower your risk of developing cancer. A healthy balanced diet contains:
1. Plenty of fruit and vegetables

2. Plenty of bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and other starchy foods: choose wholegrain foods where possible as these contain more fiber.

3. Some meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources of protein

4. Some milk and dairy foods

5. Small amount of foods and drinks that are high in fat or sugars, such as cakes, crisps and biscuits

Sugary Drinks can contribute to endometrial cancer

◊ Cut out sugary drinks

◊ Get 15 minutes of sun a day

Almost 90 percent of your body’s vitamin D comes directly from the sunlight—not from food or supplements. Studies have demonstrated that lack of vitamin D can reduce communication between cells, causing them to stop sticking together and allowing cancer cells to spread

◊ Marinate Your Meat

The high temperature needed to grill meat (and broil and fry, for that matter) creates compounds called hetero-cyclic amines that are connected to cancer.
Marinating red meat in beer or wine for two hours before cooking decrease the amount of these harmful compounds.

◊ Drink Green Tea

There is some evidence from early studies of green tea to suggest it may reduce the risk of some cancers.Green Tea not only inhibit an enzyme required for cancer cell growth, but also kills cancer cells with no ill effect on healthy cells. Green tea drinkers were found to have a lower risk of developing rectal and pancreatic cancers.

◊ Reduce exposure to light at night

Research shows exposure to light at night may increase the danger of ovarian and breast cancer in women. Light suppresses the normal production of melatonin, the brain chemical that regulates our sleep-wake cycles, which could increase the release of estrogen-fueled cancer.

◊ Walk 30 minutes a day

Moderate exercise lowers blood estrogen levels, a hormone that can affect breast cancer risk.
Walking for 30 minutes a day or 4 hours a week can cut the risk of pancreatic cancer in half.
participate in any aerobic physical activity.

◊ Cut out fries and chips

French fries or potato chips baked, fried, or roasted at high temperatures contains a potential cancer-causing compound called acrylamide. Prolonged acrylamide exposure is a risk for multiple types of cancer.

Fried chips can risk to many types of cancer

◊ Stop tanning

Exposure to natural sun increase your risk for skin cancer.
Protect Your Skin From Sun damage.
Stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest.
Cover exposed areas of your body
Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15.

◊ Skip drying lamps at the nail salon

Ultraviolet drying lamps at nail salons do carry an increased risk of skin cancer for every use.

◊ Drink less alcohol

Drinking alcohol is known to increase your risk of some cancers, including:

Smoking leads to Lung Cancer

 → mouth cancer

 → pharynx and larynx cancer

 → oesophageal cancer

 → colorectal cancer in men

 → breast cancer

If you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation.

◊ Don't use Tobacco

Chewing tobacco has been linked to cancer of the oral cavity and pancreas.Smoking has been linked to various types of cancer — including cancer of the lung, bladder, cervix and kidney.
Stopping Smoking extraordinarily cuts the risk of developing cancer. The earlier you stop, the greater the impact. But it's never too late to quit. People who quit smoking at 30 live nearly as long as non-smokers, and those who quit at 50 can still undo half the damage.

◊ Avoid Fat

High-fat diets tend to be higher in calories and might increase the risk of overweight or obesity — which can, in turn, increase cancer risk.

◊ Maintain a healthy weight

Being a Healthy weight can reduce the risk of developing cancer.
Losing excess pounds reduces the body's production of female hormones, which may protect against breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer.

◊ Practice safe Sex

Use a condom when you have sex. The more sexual partners you have (especially without condom use), the greater your risk of contracting human papillomavirus, or HPV, which can cause cervical cancer, throat cancer, and penile, vaginal, and anal cancer.

◊ Don't share needles

Sharing needles with an infected drug user can lead to HIV, as well as hepatitis B and hepatitis C — which can increase the risk of liver cancer.

◊ Get regular medical care

Regular medical Care increase your chances of discovering cancer early, when treatment is most likely to be successful.
