How prevent cancer

"What causes cancer?" was one question that intrigued me. I also learned that cancer can be beaten.
What are these ways to prevent cancer?

Quit smoking.
Smoking is the number one cause of lung cancers and lung cancer is the number one cause of death due to cancer.

Alcohol doesn't cause just a single type of cancer. It leads to many types of cancer.

Avoid second hand smoke.
Second hand smoking is far more dangerous than if you smoke yourself.

Eat healthy foods.
I was surprised to find out while reading about causes of cancer that there are cancer-causing foods and, horrors!

Brisk walking for 30 minutes 3 times a week can help you avoid cancer. Any form of physical activity is one of the effective cancer prevention strategies that will help you maintain a healthy weight. A healthy weight is important because being overweight or obese can increase your risk for cancer.

Learn to manage stress.
Stress may lead to cancer because it suppresses the immune activities of your immune system.

Protect yourself from cancer-causing viruses and bacteria.
HPV is one of the cancer-causing viruses. Other cancer prevention strategies against cancer-causing viruses can be as simple as not sharing personal items such as razors and nail clippers.
UV radiation not causes only skin cancer, mind you.

Cancer prevention refers to the precaution or measures taken to reduce the incidence of cancer. Many people believe that cancer is a preventable disease.

Exercise is another cancer prevention method. Physical inactivity can lead to increased risk of colon and breast cancer.

Chemo prevention is another cancer prevention method where medications are used to keep the disease at bay. Continual daily use of tamoxifen reduces the risk of developing breast cancer.
