The Cancer Code - Lifestyle Strategies For Prevention

As we reflect beyond this dedicated day, it's crucial to grasp the gravity of this new health menance that has a huge correlation to our lifestyle. Globally, the rise in cancer cases reaffirms the urgency of adopting a balanced lifestyle, not only as a component of treatment but also as a formidable tool in the prevention of this lethal disease.

According to a study by the World Health Organization (WHO), one in ten Indians is diagnosed with cancer, with one in fifteen succumbing to the disease. The studies by the Indian Council Of Medical Research (ICMR) paints an even more alarming outlook, that by 2025, India may experience a seven-fold surge in cancer cases. This increase in cancer incidence is attributed to factors such as escalating air pollution, a rise in chain smokers, and sedentary lifestyles.

In this article, we will explore the broader landscape of cancer awareness, with insights into lifestyle changes that can strengthen the fight against this formidable adversary.

Breast, Lung, Prostate, Liver, Thyroid, Cervical, Esophageal, and Colorectal Cancers are some of the most common types of cancers globally.

That said, adopting a healthy diet and lifestyle significantly contributes to lowering the risk of several prevalent cancers.
