How can we prevent Cancer?
Question:
Answers:
There are more than 100 types of cancers; any part of the body can be affected.
In 2005, 7.6 million people died of cancer - 13% of the 58 million deaths worldwide.
More than 70% of all cancer deaths occur in low and middle income countries.
Worldwide, the 5 most common types of cancer that kill men are (in order of frequency): lung, stomach, liver, colorectal and oesophagus
Worldwide, the 5 most common types of cancer that kill women are (in the order of frequency): breast, lung, stomach, colorectal and cervical
Tobacco use is the single largest preventable cause of cancer in the world.
One fifth of all cancers worldwide are caused by a chronic infection, for example human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer and hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes liver cancer.
A third of cancers could be cured if detected early and treated adequately.
All patients in need of pain relief could be helped if current knowledge about pain control and palliative care were applied.
40% of cancer could be prevented, mainly by not using tobacco, having a healthy diet, being physically active and preventing infections that may cause cancer.
One of the most powerful cancer-promoting food ingredients of all is called sodium nitrate. This is an ingredient that is added to virtually all packaged meat products including hot dogs, pepperoni, ham, lunchmeat and other similar products.
There are other ingredients that are suspected of causing cancer. These include hydrogenated oils, aspartame, saccharin and artificial colors, to name a few. A diet that is very high in refined carbohydrates has also been clinically shown to increase your odds of being diagnosed with cancer, so be sure to get plenty of these foods in your pro-cancer diet. That means chowing down on white bread, sweetened breakfast cereals, white fluffy pancakes, candy bars, granola bars, cookies, crackers and sweets of all kinds.
The next thing you can do to give yourself cancer is one of the more obvious things: take up a smoking habit. The more you smoke, the more likely you are to get cancer, especially if you're eating cancer-causing foods and ingredients as discussed above.
you can also stay out of all sunlight and use plenty of sun block and sunscreen any time you go outside. This will prevent natural sunlight from touching your skin. Now, how will this give you cancer? It turns out that natural sunlight is powerful prevention for cancer. People who get plenty of natural sunlight have a greatly reduced risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer, breast cancer and many other disorders that aren't cancer-related such as osteoporosis and mental depression.
Pray... pray very hard!
Stay away from carcinogens and radiation, and eat anti-oxidants (fruits, veggies)
Use sunblock, don't smoke, limit your airplane trips and use of electronics if it's too much(b/c of the radiation)
I've heard stories about plastics as well as artificial hormones causing breast cancer.
There are ways to tremendously lower the chances, but people don't know about them. If we know the causes, we can help prevent it.
don't smoke... don't drink liquor... don't chew tobacco... you may thus prevent some forms of cancer... for other forms there are no preventive measures...
Ha, pretty much lock yourself up and never go outside, eat, or do anything else.
It's sad really. There isn't much we can do at all to prevent it. It seems like more and more things these days can cause cancer. So many foods we can't eat, places we can't live, things we can't do, or use.. it's ridiculous really. And very unfortunate.
To prevent lung cancer, dont smoke
Just don't give room to tobacco.. and make your diet scheme healithier one with 0 % fat.
Resistance power in our body helps more with this disease.
Maintain your IMMUNE SYSTEM
drink green tea.
You can't prevent it. But you can reduce the chances of getting it by staying away from radioactive matter
Some cancers you can prevent (lung cancer - don't smoke) but some you can't they are just in your family history or genes. The best thing to do is don't smoke so you don't get lung cancer, don't sunbath excessively so you don't get skin cancer and if you suspect something is not right with your body get it checked out immediately. Early detection of cancer is the best way to save your life. The sooner they find it the faster they can get rid of it. My mom had a form of Cerevical Cancer 29 years ago when she was 19. Luckily they caught it soon enough and she has been cancer free since then.
I do not think we can prevent cancer it is in our genes when we are created,but,we are getting better and better in treating it and even curing it.
Cancer has many causes. In some instances people get it no matter what they do due to some genetic flaw. In others staying out of the sun reduces chances of skin cancer. Eating appropriately also is important.
Eat fruits which are high on anti oxidants. Indian Mulbery is one of them. There are more tahn 300 alternative therapies for cancer. Indian Mulbery stands one among the top ten.
