Understanding Cancer

• -gt Cancer is considered as one of the most
  painful treatment that anyone can go through.
  Cancer is a state in which there is uncontrolled
  division of abnormal cells in the body.
• -gt In 2012, there were about 14.09 million new
  cancer cases in the world and more than 8
  million deaths because of cancer. In India alone
  there were about 2.6 new million cases in India
  and about 1.2 million deaths because of the same.
• -gt It is also well known that earlier any cancer
  is detected the easier and faster is the cure.
  Certain cancers like skin, breast, mouth,
  testicles, prostate and rectum can be detected by
  routine self exam or other screening. However,
  most cancers are detected only after a tumor or
  sometime the doctors might stumble upon while
  examining some other condition.

Fight Against Cancer

• Determining what causes cancer is complex. Many
  things are known to increase the risk of cancer
  and can directly damage genes or combine with
  existing genetic faults within cells to cause the
  disease.
• Viruses, unhealthy dietary habits, smoking,
  tobacco consumption, alcoholism, obesity,
  hormonal factors, exposure to smoke and harmful
  chemicals are proven factors that cause cancer.

Lifestyle Factors

• -gt Advances in early detection and curative
  therapies have led to an increased number of
  cancer survivors over the last twenty years. With
  this population comes the need to evaluate the
  late and long term effects of cancer treatment
  and develop recommendations about how to
  optimally care for these survivors.
• -gt Lifestyle factors (diet, body weight, physical
  activity, and smoking) have been linked to a
  higher risk of many medical comorbidities
  (cardiovascular, metabolic, etc.). There is
  increasing evidence linking these factors to the
  risk of developing cancer and likely
  cancer-related outcomes.

  whole grains, and legumes (such as beans).

  two drinks for men and one drink for women.
• Limit consumption of salty foods and food
