Healthy lifestyle

The risk and chances of cancer greatly depends upon our lifestyle, eating habits and the environment we live in.Smoking or using tobacco in any other form increases the risk of cancer. Environmental factors like air pollution and contamination of drinking water may be hazardous to life. Alcohol might also be equally responsible. So, it is important to keep the alcohol level lower. Cancer is also caused by direct exposure to sunlight. It is important to seek protection against harmful rays of the sun like UVA and UVB rays that may cause cancer.

It is good to limit the consumption of red meat and animal fats and eat plenty of pesticide free fruits and vegetables, preferably which are organic in nature. It is also important to go for regular health check-ups. If any symptom is too similar to cancer, instead of ignoring, further tests should be done and if required, a second opinion should be taken. Tests like PET Scan, although a little expensive, can detect cancer even at a very preliminary stage.
