Sure ways of preventing cancer.

1. Through the research taken,it has been confirmed  that  cancer is caused by the accumulation of damaged genes due to exposure to a cancer causing substance. Carcinogens are the substances believed to cause cancer. A good example of a carcinogenic substance is the molecules found in the smoke of Tobacco.

How to prevent cancer risks.

1. Avoid the use of Tobacco
2.  Consume a healthy diet
3. Maintain a healthy weight and be physically active.
4. Practice safe sex and avoid risky behaviors.
5. Protect your skin from strong direct rays if the sun.
6. Manage stress.
7. Get immunized against cancer by the HPV vaccines.

Drinking of enough water is also a good way of flushing toxins out of the body preventing their high concentration in the body. Thus,its prone to prevent many diseases of colon or rectum I.e colorectal cancer.

Anticancer foods

These are the foods believed to prevent cancer by reducing the rate at which the cancer cells multiply and by suppressing the cancer toxins in the body. They include:

1. Apples
2. Fatty fish
3. Berries
4. Green and fresh vegetables
5. Carrots
6. Walnuts
7. Legumes
8. Fortified milk

There are also foods that are believed to cause cancer or they are said to increase the cancer risks.They include:

1. Sugar and refined carbs. A diet that causes blood glucose levels to increase is associated with the increased risk of several cancers,including stomach,breast and colorectal cancers. The refined carbs are twice likely to cause colon  cancer . It is believed that high levels of blood glucose and insulin are cancer risk factors. Insulin has  shown to stimulate cell division supporting the growth and spread of cancer cells and make them more difficult to eliminate. Hence the foods that boost the insulin level should be eliminated from your diet.
2. Processed meat.    The international Agency for research on cancer terms processed meat to be casinogenic. Processed meat is after treated to retain its taste.The chemicals that are used to preserve the meat hence increasing the shelf life are said to cause cancer. The beat ways if preserving meat should be by Salting,smoking and sundrying.Eating chemical preserved meat increases the risk of obtaining cancer by 59% as compared to the ones who didn’t take.
3. consuming overcooked foods. Cooking at high temperatures I.e grilling,frying and boiling can produce harmful compounds like  heterocylinamines and advanced glycation end products.The excess build up of these harmful compounds can contribute to inflammation and hence play a role in development of cancer. Animal foods high in fats and proteins mostly produce these harmful compounds when subjected to high temperatures.
4. Dairy products. A high consumption of dairy products increases the risk of  prostate cancer.Theories suggest that findings are due to an increased intake of calcium, insulin like growth factor or oestrogen hormones from pregnant cows.
5. Overweight. The circumstance increases chances of cancer in the oesophagus,colon,pancrease and kidney as well as breast cancer after menopause. Excess body fat contributes to insulin resistance hence body is unable to take up glucose properly encouraging them to divide fast.Weight loss among overweight and obese people reduces cancer risk.

            Cancer supplements.

Dietary supplements are any type of vitamins,minerals,herbs,botanicals and amino acids that can be eaten or drunk. They are there to supplement the diet of the patient as the name suggests. They include:

1. Ground fax seed. People mostly use fish oil suplements to obtain omega 3,but research has shown that,fish oil reduces the effectiveness of chemotherapy hence ground flax sees oil is alternative.
2. Garlic. It helps to offer:Extra protection,antibacterial properties,enhancing DNA repair and the reduction of the cancer cells spreading cells.
3. Ginger. Suggested because of its anti inflammatory and antinause properties. It should not be taken at high concentration as it can interact with blood thinkers and affect people’s blood sugar.
4. Green tea. It is an excellent antioxidant and protects against Metastasis;a cancer.
5. Selenium. Its a mineral that removes free radicals that are unstable molecules that attack cells and lead to cancer.
6. Tumeric. Can kill the cancer cells and slow tumor growth.
7. Vitamin D. Can be provided by Sunlight, fatty fish,eggyolks and fortified milk.
