Lifestyle and Risk of Cancer

Lifestyle that includes eating nutritious foods and regular physical active proved to be an easy and inexpensive way to prevent cancer. Keeping and maintaining a healthy weight throughout life and can be obtained by taking into account the intake of calories from a balanced source (carbohydrates, protein and fat) and physical activity to prevent excessive weight gain. 

Why is that?

Overweight or obese appears to increase risk for the occurrence of some cancers, like breast cancer (especially in women who have gone through menopause), colon cancer, uterine cancer, cancer of the esophagus (esophageal) and kidney cancer. While obesity is also likely to increase the risk of some cancers, such as cervical cancer, gallbladder cancer, lymphoma, ovarian cancer (ovarian), pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer (thyroid) and prostate cancer.

While physical activity can reduce the risk of some cancers such as breast cancer, colon cancer, uterine cancer and prostate cancer. Active lifestyle can be done with fitness exercise at least 30 minutes a day in addition to daily work activities, for 5 days a week, for example by choosing to use the stairs rather than using the escalator or elevator, try walking or cycling whenever possible, doing body work on during lunch with friends or family, a time to do if the body (stretching or brisk walking) interrupted working time, dancing with a partner or friend, go for a walk as recreation rather than just sitting around, join with a group of specific sports, watch TV while riding a stationary bike or treadmill, or playing with children at home.

While the style of eating healthy nutritious food can be done with the selection of drinks with the big-serving dish that can still maintain a healthy weight (low calorie foods and low in fat), by eating a variety of vegetables at least 5 servings of fruit a day, prefer food that is derived from whole grains (whole grain) compared with the already processed, and limiting red meat and processed meat which has been or may choose fish, poultry or beans, and avoid the kind of cooking with fry or burn with charcoal.
