Behavioural circumstances that favour cancer development.



As we already know, cancer is caused by genetic changes leading to uncontrolled cell growth and tumour formation. Cancer is a preventable disease that requires major lifestyle awareness. Regular consumption of junk and fried food, lack of exercise , obesity, excessive alcohol etc do also lead to emerging cancers.

A minority of cancers are due to inherited genetic mutations and others stimulated by many different lifestyle factors. Diet and obesity account for  30-35% of cancer deaths. Excessive alcohol does increase the risk of developing cancers of the liver, colon, stomach and etc due to alcohol related nutritional deficiencies.

Regular exercises are good and excellent ways of preventing inflammations. As little as 20 minutes of exercise per day has anti-inflammatory effects. It's been prooven that inflammation plays an important role in the development and progression of cancer. Chronic inflammation can lead to Dna damage over time and accumulation of random genetic alterations in cancer cells. So inflammations do contribute to proliferation, survival, angiogenesis and migration of cancer cells.

 So let us please take note of these points and implement proactive habits against emerging cancer upon ourselves.

    1. Hello there, thank you for your question.
      As a young lady, to prevent emerging breast cancer, you need to avoid its risk factors.
      - Limit excessive alcohol intake.
      - Do not smoke
      - Be physically active.
      - Avoid prolonged exposure to radiation and environmental pollution.
      - Control your weight.
      - Prolonged breastfeeding of your child(if you have one),the greater the protective effect against breast cancer.
      Practice proactive health habits and eat healthy.
      Also share these with as many ladies as possible, let's raise the awareness. Thank you.
