Embracing a Healthier Tomorrow: Cancer Prevention through lifestyle
Cancer is one of the most frightening and pervasive diseases affecting the world today, with an average of 1.9 million new cases diagnosed annually in the United States alone. While genetics play a role, the good news is that many cases are preventable through simple lifestyle changes. By adopting healthier habits and making mindful choices, we have the power to enhance our overall well-being and significantly reduce the risk of developing cancer.
Reduce your Cancer Risks
Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other areas. Under normal circumstances, human cells grow and multiply at a rate that replaces old or damaged cells that have died. When this orderly process breaks down and abnormal cells multiply instead of being destroyed by the body, cancer develops.
Role of Antioxidents in Cancer Prevention
Antioxidants are compounds that help protect the body’s cells against damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules produced as a byproduct of normal bodily processes and environmental factors like pollution and radiation. Free radicals can damage DNA, proteins, and other important cellular components, potentially leading to the development of chronic diseases, including cancer.
