cancer. A deadly and addictive element, tobacco’s fatality quotient is
quite high on every scale. Don’t smoke, and if you are addicted to
smoking, quit it, pronto!

staple ingredient in every Indian dish, it provides a treasure chest of
sulphur compounds that may stimulate the immune system’s natural
defences against cancer, and may have the potential to reduce tumour
growth!

play a major role in cancer. A family with cancer history runs a greater
risk of keeping the trend intact for the following generations. Have a
thorough look at your family’s illness history and consult a doctor for a
professional perspective.
11. Cut Down Supplements
Remember a golden rule, anything artificial
that isn’t a part of your body and its functioning shouldn’t be
consumed. Do you exercise? Stop taking those muscle enhancing
supplements. Actively consume antibiotics and fairly unnecessary
medicines? Search for safer natural alternative. Keeping your body clean
and pure from within goes a long way!
12. Have Regular Check-ups
Cancer is a disease that isn’t usually
visible in most of the cases, and neither can it be deciphered from its
symptoms in the early stage. Hence, go for regular check-ups. A routine
check-up will help you in keeping a tab over your body, detect early stage cancer if any, as well as ease the stress of any cancer-related apprehension in the older age!
