Here's your three-step cancer-fighting plan - start today!

by , 28 March 2013

Cancer cases are rising across the globe. Now, researchers are rejoicing as they believe they've found the answer to curing every single type of cancer - but they've only conducted the studies on mice so far. Luckily, you can protect yourself by making simple lifestyle changes to prevent cancer - it's as easy as one, two, three!

Ready for the best cancer news yet? 
 
Researchers claim they may have found the Holy Grail in the war against cancer, says The NYPost.
 
They’ve created what they call ‘a miracle drug’, which has killed every cancer tumour it’s come in contact with so far – in mice.
 
But it’s still too early to say whether the antibody treatment would work on cancer cells in humans, says Time’s HealthLand.

That’s why it’s a good idea to do all you can to prevent cancer.
 
But what makes you more likely to develop cancer?
 
It’s simple. Unhealthy body weight, unbalanced diet and lack of exercise are responsible for 90% of cancers.
 
So your three-step cancer prevention plan needs to focus on these three areas.
 
1. Lose weight to get your body weight on track 
 
A genetic mutation triggered by the obesity epidemic could lie behind the dramatic increase in a type of cancer, confirms The Ireland Independent.
 
So there’s proof that losing weight will reduce your risk of developing cancer in the long run.
 
If you want to lose weight, you actually need to consume about 1,500 calories a day and make sure your BMI or body mass index is between 18 and 25, says FSP Health.
 
But it’s not how much you eat – what you eat also plays a role in reducing your cancer risk.
 
2. Watch what you eat to minimise your risk of cancer in the first place
 
Getting nutrients from a varied, balanced diet will prevent you from getting too much of a potentially harmful substance.
 
Some say it’s as simple as having a glass of red wine or red grape juice with your meal of tofu and broccoli, says FSP Health.
 
And “about one third of cancer deaths can be attributed to poor diet and physical inactivity,” says the American Cancer Society.
 
3. Get active with exercise to reduce the risk of cancer recurring
 
That’s why inactivity like sitting at your desk all day could result in an increased risk for cancer.
 
That’s why exercise has also been shown to decrease the risk for certain cancers and other serious illnesses. 
 
“In fact, the effects can be so significant that keeping active can cut the risk of breast and colon cancer recurring by up to 50%,” explains FSP Health.
 
It takes just 30 minutes of exercise a day to minimise your risk of cancer and improve your overall health.
 
Simple as that. Put your three-step cancer-fighting plan into place today!
