Cancer Prevention (ebook)

Description

There are not many things in life that can cause fear and worry, like that of a cancer diagnosis. Many people live in constant fear, having perhaps seen others in their family succumb to the disease, and knowing that there is a genetic link to cancer susceptibility.

It is unlikely that there will ever be a ‘cure for cancer’ in the way that we generally think of cures. However, wouldn’t it be great if there ever was one!? As with every other disease we might contract, especially those with a lifestyle influence, prevention is far more important and preferable than cure!

However, as with many diseases, there is no one simple preventative action. Cancer is not like a bacterial or viral infection, where a specific pathogen is responsible for a specific disease, and can be more straightforwardly avoided or treated.

Many cancers are more and more being recognized as being on the ‘lifestyle disease’ spectrum. While genetic predisposition is certainly a factor, an individual’s repeated actions (lifestyle) have an undeniable correlation to specific types of cancer.

Many life choices have a depressing effect on the immune system as a whole, which further predisposes the person to higher risks of becoming subject to any or all types of cancer. Some cancers can be triggered by environmental factors, and our environment is also a lifestyle aspect. Some of these can be initiated by a single exposure to the causative agent.

It can be both daunting and empowering to realize that, genetics aside, most of the biggest variables in the risk of contracting cancer can be controlled or at the very least mitigated by your actions, or lack of them! Knowing that our lifestyle is such a large factor, and recognizing that we each have some degree of control over our lifestyles should give us the realization that we don’t have to, and indeed should not sit around ‘hoping’ that we will be spared from cancer.

Instead, we should all be making ourselves keenly aware of the behaviors that are correlated with being stricken by cancer, and strenuously avoiding them. Additionally, we should be embracing behaviors that have been shown to reduce the incidence of cancer.

When it comes to lifestyle choices and especially changes, we far too often limit ourselves and make excuses as to why it is different in our case, and why we can’t make the necessary changes.
