How to prevent Cancer:
- There is no definite means of preventing cancer if one is destined to get it. But following measures are most likely to help.
- Lead a clean, relaxed and regular life style with "moderation" as the keyword in all aspects of life.
- Consult a surgeon for circumcision for all male children. Train your children to keep the genitals and himself clean.
- Tobacco chewing or smoking are definitely carcinogenic. Your doctor will help you to get out of the addiction.
- Highly spiced food, over-roasted food, red meat, alcohol on empty stomach, are better avoided.
- Ensure timely meals, without too much spices, with plenty of fresh vegetables and fibres and fruits, so that bowels would move regularly.
- When there is any suspicion of early signs of cancer, dont't postpone seeing your medical consultant.
