Change Your Diet and Avoid Cancer
Almost a quarter of cancers could be prevented by changing diet and exercise. There is not evidence that links diet, physical activity, obesity and cancer. This leads to the conclusion that living a healthier lifestyle will reduce cancer risk.
According to the report, 24 percent of cancers could be prevented by making lifestyle changes. The study concludes that 11 percent of prostate cancers; 47 percent of stomach cancers; 15 percent of liver cancers; 24 percent of kidney cancers; 36 percent of lung cancers; 38 percent of breast cancers; 39 percent of pancreatic cancers; 69 percent of esophageal cancers; 21 percent of gall bladder cancers; 45 percent of bowel cancers; 47 percent of stomach cancers; 63 percent of mouth, pharyngeal and laryngeal cancers; and 70 percent of uterine cancers could be eliminated.
The report makes recommendations of ways that everyone can help reduce rates of cancer. It encourages bans on unhealthy foods, encourages physical activity, and urges the reading of food labels.
What is so simple to do can be the most challenging some times. If everyone knows how they are directly responsible to their own health and takes action to take care of their own healths, then there may not even be a need to ban any food. And it may even prompt companies to look into making more healthy foods. My grandfather lived way past 90 before he passed away and my grandmother is now 95. In those days they just ate simple food. We seem to have more nutrition foods nowadays and yet we have more illnesses and more cases of cancer.
