Cancer can be prevented!

Yes, that's what the news said. A study said that half of all cancers are preventable. To me, this is a really really great news! Because in my industry, you will see many cancer cases.

I shall point out the important facts and statistics from the article and you can read the rest from the link that I post below.

Things you should know (hopefully not just knowing, but doing it too):

1. Smoking cause 1/3 of all US cancer cases.
2. Overweight cause another 1/5 of all US cancer cases.
3. It causes US some $226 billion per year in healthcare expenses and lost productivity.

4. Exercising, eating right and refraining from smoking are key ways to prevent up to half of the total cancer deaths.
5. Humans are impatient, and that human trait itself is an obstacle to cancer prevention.
6. Other factors could be income gap, pollution, crime, poor transportation, absence of nearby supermarkets for fresh food, lack of parks for play and exercise, etc.

7. Lastly, one of the most important quote in the article I believe is this "If you watch your diet, exercise, and manage your weight, you can not only prevent your risk of getting many lethal forms of cancer, you will also increase your chances of doing well if you should get almost any form of cancer".

Cancer is a mistery. Nothing can guarantee that you will not get cancer. You can live as healthy as you want, but you may still get cancer. But the point is what the above quote said, if you are healthy you will increase your chances to get well if you get cancer. Do not give excuses anymore, do what you need to do to make yourself healthier.

So the number one absolute point here is this, be as healthy as you can! So that you can enjoy life and be in your best condition for whatever illness that may hit you.


Cheers! Have a great day.
