Stay away from tobacco

Tobacco is one the major causes of cancer the world over and is the reason for millions of fatalities every year. Consumed by various methods such as chewing, smoking etc., there's a definitive evidence about consumption of tobacco increasing the chances of cancer multifold. All this points to a simple truth, “stay away from tobacco and prevent cancer”.


Be physically active

Regular physical activity ensures all vital parameters of our body are at optimum levels. Irrespective of whether you're 20 or 40 years old, regular exercise is a necessity. Along with preventing various ailments, regular exercise is also known to reduce the chances of life threatening ailments such as cancer. Even half an hour of daily walk greatly reduces the possibility of life threatening diseases.


Reducing inflammation

Prolonged inflammation is known to damage cells inside the body and weakens the immune system, thus greatly increasing the possibility of cancer. The term inflammation simply means the release of chemicals from the white blood cells into the blood. The causes of inflammation can be innumerable such as stress, smoking, obesity etc. Making lifestyle changes that ensure inflammation is minimized is an initiative every person should take. Moreover, for overtly health conscious people, they can gorge on specific anti inflammatory diets that are also available today.


Reduce toxic exposure

Every year, there are multiple instances of people being diagnosed with cancer owing to them coming in contact with carcinogenic materials, radiation etc. A lot of these instances occur due to carelessness on the part of everyone concerned and thus could be avoided only by taking some simple precautions. Another factor here is the lack of awareness amongst people. Sometimes people themselves get unknowingly close to dangerous substances. A majority of such incidents happen when people perform their professional tasks, notable examples being the chemicals sector, metallurgy sector etc. Thus reduction and prevention of exposure to any toxic substance is essential to minimize the chances of cancer.
