Here’s all about cancer on the world cancer day

Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases, marking 4th February as World Cancer day to spread awareness.  

Millions of people have been affected by this disease globally. In India, the cases of breast, ovarian and lung cancer have been quite general, as it is known as one of the deadliest diseases.

The reason behind the disease:

Cancer is made up of trillions of cells and can form in any part of the body, as per the National Cancer Institute.

The cause of the disease is that some of the cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other body parts. 

Human cells normally grow and multiply to shape new cells as the body requires them. Cells die when they get old or damaged, and fresh cells replace them.

Sometimes, these abnormal or damaged cells grow and spread in the body, which should not happen. The bump evolves into a tumour and can be dangerous.

To spread awareness for Cancer every year, 4th February is marked as World Cancer Day. This disease is dangerous, but we can prevent it by making a few changes to have a healthy life.

Things to prevent Cancer:

Say no to smoking:

We all know that smoking is very dangerous, and it directly affects cells such as the lungs, throat, mouth, and stomach, as well as the pancreas, as it contains some harmful substances. 

Maintaining body weight:

Maintaining a healthy body weight can help reduce the risk of this disease. You might be shocked to learn that being overweight or obese is connected with an increased risk of 13 different types of this disease. 

Many factors are linked to this disease, but avoiding tobacco use and maintaining a healthy weight are two of the most crucial steps to reduce your risk.

To have a healthy lifestyle:

Regular exercise and a good diet can make your immunity strong. A person should work out at least 45 minutes daily and have a proper diet. 

Regular health check-ups:

One can do a health check and must consult a healthcare professional for regular health screening.
