Well, if you have a healthy lifestyle, chances
are you probably won’t get the dreaded
cancer!
This is because “As many as 70% of known
causes of cancers are avoidable and related to
lifestyle,” says Thomas A. Sellers, PhD,
associate director for cancer prevention and
control at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa.
Diet, exercise, and avoidance of tobacco
products are, of course,some of the first
precautions to be taken, but recent research
has uncovered many small, surprising ways
you can weave even more disease prevention
into your everyday life.
Here are a few things you can do to prevent
the chances of cancer:
1. Filter your tap water
When you filter your water, your chances of
being opened to chemicals that are very
dangerous to your hormones are very low. A
report from the President’s Cancer Panel on
how to reduce this exposure suggests that
home-filtered tap water is a safer than
bottled water, whose quality often is not
higher—and in some cases is worse. Always
store your water in stainless steel or glass to
avoid chemical contaminants that can
percolate from plastic bottles.
2. Stop topping your Car tank
the President’s Cancer Panel has mace it
known that pumping one last squirt of gas
into your car after the nozzle clicks off can
spill fuel and foil the pump’s vapor recovery
system, designed to keep toxic chemicals such
as cancer-causing benzene out of the air,
where they can come in contact with your
skin or get into your lungs.
3. Marinate meat first
Always allow your processed, charred, and
well-done meats to get absorbed in a sauce or
its flavoring. This is because the meats can
contain cancer-causing heterocyclic amines,
which form when meat is cooked at a very
high temperature. Note that the fact that a
meat is burnt does not mean it is totally
cooked. If possible, cut down on grilled meat,
but if not, make sure the meats are well-
seasoned before you proceed to cook them.
4. Caffeinated Cofees every day Goes a long
way
It has been made known that drinking 5 or
more cups of caffeinated coffee a day has a
40% decrease the risk of brain cancer,
compared to those who drank less. A 5-cup-
a-day coffee habit reduces risks of oral and
throat cancer almost as much.
5. Water down your risk
Drinking plenty of water and other liquids
may reduce the risk of bladder cancer by
diluting the concentration of cancer-causing
agents in urine and helping to flush them
through the bladder faster. Drink at least 8
cups of liquid a day, suggests the American
Cancer Society.
6. Burn off your risk
Moderate exercise such as walking 2 hours a
week cuts risk of breast cancer 18%. Regular
workouts may lower your risks by helping
you burn fat, which otherwise produces its
own estrogen, a known contributor to breast
cancer.
7. Head off cell phone risks
Always use earphones when you are on a
long call. Do not take a long call with your
ears stuck to your phone. This increases
Cancer risks. Use your cell phone only for
short calls or texts, or use a hands-free device
that keeps the phone—and the radio
frequency energy it emits—away from your
head.
8. Wear colors of clothes that can ‘prevent’
cancer
Choosing your outdoor outfit wisely may help
protect against skin cancer, say Spanish
scientists. In their research, blue and red
fabrics offered significantly better protection
against the sun’s UV rays than white and
yellow ones did. Also never forget to leave
your home without your hat.
9. Increase your calcium intake
Milk’s main claim to fame may also help
protect you from colon cancer. Those who
took calcium faithfully for 4 years had a 36%
reduction in the development of new
precancerous colon polyps 5 years after the
study had ended, revealed Dartmouth Medical
School researchers. (They tracked 822 people
who took either 1,200 mg of calcium every
day or a placebo.) Though the study was not
on milk itself, you can get the same amount of
calcium in three 8-ounce glasses of fat-free
milk, along with an 8-ounce serving of yogurt
or a 2- to 3-ounce serving of low-fat cheese
daily.
