As you can read from the Reuters website (please go there to read more stories), cancer cases will rise 75% by 2030! That is a tremendous increase. This is no joke anymore. Everyone have that probability to get cancer in their lifetime and sadly there is no way to prevent cancer yet. We only have the ways to reduce the chances to get cancer, but not prevent it.
Let me quote a few things what the article said:
1. "..an increase in cases of cancers linked to poor diet, lack of exercise and other bad habits associated with affluence..."
2. "Cancer is already the leading cause of death in many high income countries and is set to become a major cause of morbidity (sickness) and mortality in the next decades in every region of the world..."
It really does not matter where you live, whether you are in a poor country or a rich country, you can get it. Whether you expect it or not, you can get it.
To me, what important for us to do is just try to be as healthy as we can, have a good diet, enough exercise, plenty of sleep and lower your stress level. Again, this will not prevent cancer. But it certainly will give you more strength and fight back if cancer ever hits you.
Of course, do not forget to check your self with the doctor regularly and if you dont feel well or something seems wrong, please go and see your doctor.
Last thing is to equipped your self with a good hospital plan (which covers your hospital bills) and a good critical illness plan (which gives you a lump sum amount if you are diagnosed with a critical illness).
Cancer can be devastating, emotionally and financially. Let us take care the financial part and in return, you will also be stronger emotionally.
Cheers! Have a great day
