Summary Of Reducing The Risk Of Cancer By Tim Crowe

Every year, 1.2 million people are diagnosed with cancer and more than 500,000 people die from the disease. According to the National Cancer Institute, over 30% of these deaths can be attributed to diet. This means that the average person can greatly lower his risk of getting cancer simply by changing his diet. There is, of course, no guarantee against cancer, but the lifestyle choices that we make now can have a huge impact on our lives in the future. (http://www.aicr.org/expert1.htm)

“As humans, we should already be eating foods that are similar to a person that has been prescribed a cancer diet” (Lee).

Adequate calorie intake. In general, a diet that supplies the right amount of nutrients, but do not exceed the daily calorie intake may be effective in preventing the development of cancer. This is true, because a diet high in calorie from excessive carbohydrates, fats, and protein may contribute to a higher risk of developing

According to the article “Diet and Physical Activity: What’s the Cancer Connection?” by The American Cancer Society, a poor diet and inactivity can increase your risks of getting cancer. A research shows that among all cancers diagnosed in the U.S, about 20 percent of them are related to body fatness, physical inactivity, excess alcohol consumption, and poor nutrition. These causes can be prevented by developing a healthy lifestyle. Managing your weight and having a well-balanced diet are very beneficial for reducing cancer risk, even they can help with cancer survivors. When choosing a meal, beware of the portion size and try to limit the intake of food high in calories, fat, and added sugar. In addition, processed meat, red meat, and refined

Cancer is the leading cause of death in economically developed countries and the second leading cause of death in developing countries. Based on the GLOBOCAN 2008 estimates, about 12.7 million cancer cases and 7.6 million cancer deaths are estimated to have occurred in 2008. The leading cause of cancer mortality in females is breast cancer, accounting for 23% followed by lung cancer and cervical cancer accounting for 11% respectively. Furthermore, estimates show that, the leading cause of cancer mortality in males is lung cancer accounting for 17% of the total new cancer cases and 23% in total cancer deaths. [2].

So many people are affected by cancer each year in the US. And too many are dying from it. Each year, about 1.2 million people are affected by cancer in the US. And each year, about 556,000 die from it. Sadly, most of these cancer cases could have been prevented. According to WHO.com, around one third of deaths from cancer are due to behavioral and dietary habits. Therefore, if people were to watch what they ate, and avoid unhealthy behaviors, the death rate due to cancer would drop significantly, as would the total number of cancer cases. A natural and healthy diet, followed by healthy choices and behaviors, could also help a patient who is diagnosed with cancer to shrink the tumor, or get rid of it permanently, such as in the case of my parents ' dear friend, Ms. Gloria Lopez, or Ms. Gloria, as my brothers and I call her.

Exercise can improve quality of life and a possible increased chance of surviving the lung cancer, it is unclear however, whether it “cures” cancer or not but A.Emaus and I.Thune show exercise to be more beneficial for men than women. The exercise does not have to be strenuous, either, a news article claims that even gardening can lower the risk of cancer or improve condition. It also says that exercise can be hard if the patient suffers from “cancer fatigue,” a tiredness that comes from the treatments for

There are many health risks that people need to be more aware of everyday. Many products that we use and take for granted may actually lead to serious health problems like cancer in the future. There are an assortment of things that increase your cancer risk that are really surprising.

Physical activity and cancer has been the center of countless research studies. Multiple scientific studies have proven that physical activity reduces risk factors by of 24% in colon cancer, 12% in breast cancer, and 20% in endometrial cancer (Cancer.Gov) Physical activity is imperative for individuals to maintain a balance between the amount of calories consumed and the amount of calories used. Consistently expending fewer calories than are consumed leads to obesity, which scientists have convincingly linked to increased risk of 13 different cancers. Additionally, evidence indicates that physical activity may reduce the risks of several cancers through other mechanisms; independent of its effects on obesity (Cancer.gov). Studies have shown that exercise can lower the damaging effects

I learned that cancer is not just genetic, but it can be caused by different aspects of our everyday lives(e.g. the foods we eat, being in the sun excessively, smoking, drinking, obesity, lack of exercise, and much more). Therefore, I would like to find a way to decrease the amount of people who contract cancer by educating the public on how their daily activities could lead to the formation of cancerous cells in their bodies.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to prevent the likelihood of being diagnosed with cancer? Although, there might not be a way of preventing cancer, there still are several ways of reducing your chances of developing it. Across the United States, the estimated total of new cancer cases is 1,688,780. The estimated total of new cancer deaths is 600,920. On the daily average, that is 4,630 new cases of cancer and 1,650 new cancer deaths. While the prevention of cancer is still evolving, it is accepted that the chances of developing cancer is affected by the lifestyle choices made. With that being said, if one is concerned about preventing cancer, there are simple lifestyle changes that may make a big difference.

Cancer is an important global health issue which affects millions of people annually and burdens national health systems. Despite modest reductions in the incidence of certain cancer types, overall the prevalence of cancer is increasing worldwide (1). It has been estimated that approximately 14.1 million people were diagnosed with cancer, in 2012 (2). The increase in cancer incidence is attributed to various causes such as the increase in population age as well as daily life habits which include obesity, poor diet, smoking and alcohol consumption (1).

There is a recognized relationship between a group of risk factors and various cancers. Men and women with risk factors such as hypertension, high blood sugar, or high cholesterol would benefit from having regular cancer screenings. More people have metabolic syndrome now than, in years past, which coincides with the increase in deaths caused by cancer each year. Healthy diet plans help lower the chances of getting diagnosed with cancer. Unhealthy lifestyle choices are having a greater impact on adults more than ever

As the focus of health care switches from acute care to a community approach, one of the prevalent concerns is cancer prevention. In Community Health Area 4 (CH4), “malignant neoplasms” account for 14.5% of all mortalities (Vancouver Costal Health [VCH], 2013, p. 57). A significant cause of cancer is Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection which can be prevented by immunization prior to sexual activity. This paper will focus on the adolescent population (grade 6 to 12) that receives the immunization, the impact of vaccination, and strategies around HPV vaccine uptake in CH4.
