Early diagnosis and prevention are important in the fight against cancer. Experts have told us how to live in order not to get sick.
The country regularly hosts various campaigns that scare us with all sorts of carcinogenic habits. Whether you take them seriously or not is up to you. Here are the recommendations of a group of independent experts from the World Cancer Research Fund, which allow you to reduce the risk of cancer by 50%. In addition, following these recommendations reduces the likelihood of other chronic diseases and improves the quality of life.
Daily physical activity
It is enough to devote 20 minutes to physical exercise every day to reduce the risk of disease.
Prevent obesity
A healthy body weight reduces the risk of cancers of the pharynx, larynx, colon, prostate, kidney, ovary, and breast.
Think about what you eat.
Limit your intake of fast food, red meat, sugary drinks, alcohol, and processed foods that are high in fat, starch, and sugar. These foods increase the risk of cancer cells forming.
Natural products
If possible, do not replace natural foods with food supplements (vitamins). It has already been proven that an excess of some vitamins increases the risk of cancer. However, if you have difficulty absorbing a vitamin in its natural form, you should not deprive yourself of useful substances.
More healthy food on your plate
Fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains significantly reduce the risk of cancer. It's all about the fiber, which prevents unnecessary substances from stagnating in the body. These foods should be consumed daily.
With mother's milk
Breastfeeding protects the mother from breast cancer and diabetes. The child receives good immunity and protection from many chronic diseases.
If you are diagnosed with cancer, continue to follow these recommendations during and after treatment. In general, they are aimed at maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which helps to cope with cancer and other diseases. But do not forget that early diagnosis and timely correct treatment increase the chances of recovery. Take care of yourself.
