Cancer Rate: Olden Days And Today The Risk And Preventions by lanxebony(m): 8:23pm On Feb 20, 2015
Here are a few things you can do to prevent the chances of cancer:
1. Filter your tap water:
When you filter your water, your chances of being opened to chemicals that are very dangerous to your hormones are very low. exposure suggests that home-filtered tap water is a safer than bottled water, whose quality often is not higher—and in some cases is worse. Always store your water in stainless steel or glass to avoid chemical contaminants that can percolate from plastic bottles.
(Olden days water are preserved wt alums and stored in claypot)

2.Stop topping your Car tank
: pumping one last squirt of gas into your car after the nozzle clicks off can spill fuel and foil the pump’s vapor recovery system, designed to keep toxic chemicals such as cancer-causing benzene out of the air, where they can come in contact with your skin or get into your lungs(then cars and other auto mobiles are not available much transportation is by animals ).


3. Marinate meat first
:Always allow your processed, charred, and well-done meats to get absorbed in a sauce or its flavoring. This is because the meats can contain cancer-causing heterocyclic amines, which form when meat is cooked at a very high temperature. Note that the fact that a meat is burnt does not mean it is totally cooked. If possible, cut down on grilled meat, but if not, make sure the meats are well-seasoned before you proceed to cook them( foods are cooked and preserved well, nt now junks and fast food have taken over our home dishes).


4. Caffeinated Cofees every day Goes a long way
It has been made known that drinking 5 or more cups of caffeinated coffee a day has a 40% decrease the risk of brain cancer, compared to those who drank less. A 5-cup-a-day coffee habit reduces risks of oral and throat cancer almost as much.
(caffeines and its product are nt available in large amount and quantity den compared to now)

5. Water down your risk
:Drinking plenty of water and other liquids may reduce the risk of bladder cancer by diluting the concentration of cancer-causing agents in urine and helping to flush them through the bladder faster. Drink at least 8 cups of liquid a day(the major liquid consumed then is water and herbs compared to now dat we have more dan enof bottled drink and are mostly cacinogenic).


6. Burn off your risk
:Moderate exercise such as walking 2 hours a week cuts risk of breast cancer 18%. Regular workouts may lower your risks by helping you burn fat, which otherwise produces its own estrogen, a known contributor to breast cancer(major means of transportation den is tru leg wagons and animally benz).


7. Head off cell phone risks
Always use earphones when you are on a long call. Do not take a long call with your ears stuck to your phone. This increases Cancer risks. Use your cell phone only for short calls or texts, or use a hands-free device that keeps the phone—and the radio frequency energy it emits—away from your head(midnight callers... u are at risk ooo then calls are made only on nitel and for short duration cos of d cost instead letters are used)

.
8. Wear colors of clothes that can ‘prevent’ cancer
Choosing your outdoor outfit wisely may help protect against skin cancer, say Spanish scientists. In their research, blue and red fabrics offered significantly better protection against the sun’s UV rays than white and yellow ones did. Also never forget to leave your home without your hat( head gears and cap are worn by women and men respectively so also beautiful traditional attires).


9. Increase your calcium intake
Milk’s main claim to fame may also help protect you from colon cancer. Those who took calcium faithfully for 4 years had a 36% reduction in the development of new precancerous colon polyps 5 years after the study had ended, revealed Dartmouth Medical School researchers. (They tracked 822 people who took either 1,200 mg of calcium every day or a placebo.) Though the study was not on milk itself, you can get the same amount of calcium in three 8-ounce glasses of fat-free milk, along with an 8-ounce serving of yogurt or a 2- to 3-ounce serving of low-fat cheese daily.
