Bangalore: Do u know that simple changes in lifestyle could lower your cancer risks? Being diagnosed with cancer can be the most devastating news you will ever hear. People from all backgrounds and occupations can have cancer. However, if you look behind the mask of its physical symptoms, such as the type, appearance and behavior, you will find that cancer is not as coincidental or unpredictable as it seems to be. There are preventive measures that you can take to prevent this distressing disease from claiming residency in your beautiful life. One of your best defenses against cancer is to strengthen your immune system. This is where the preventive measures come in. Here are five simple ways you can reduce your exposure to potentially cancer-causing chemicals by strengthening your immune system. Always Marinate Meat and Poultry Meats can contain cancer-causing heterocyclic amines, which form when meat is seared at high temperatures. Marinating meat herbs, vinegar and lemon juice before grilling will reduce cancer causing HCA?s as by 96 percent. The marinate sets up a barrier against heat; it draws out chemical precursors of carcinogens from the meat. According to researches, if you do grill, add rosemary and thyme to your favorite marinade and soak meat for at least an hour before cooking can cut HCAs by as much as 87%. Avoid cell phone radiation Do you know the excess usage of mobile phones can damage brain cells? The heat produced by the radiation from mobile phones has been found to change the chemical structure of chemicals synthesized in small organisms like worms. Use your cell phone only for short calls or texts, or use a head set, that too in low volume. And also Purchase a phone with a low SAR (Specific Absorption Rate). Studies showed that when people used a cell phone for 50 minutes, brain tissues on the same side of the head as the phone?s antenna metabolized more glucose than did tissues on the opposite side of the brain Make Sure You are Drinking Filtered Water Avoid the bleach in your water by filtering it before you drink. And also, home-filtered tap water is a safer bet than bottled water. It is very important to keep water in stainless steel or glass to avoid chemical contaminants such as BPA that can leach from plastic bottles. Unfiltered tap water contains the poisonous chemicals such as nitrate, arsenic, microorganisms, and chemicals. These poisonous chemicals are known to cause at least three types of cancers, among other serious health problems. Report states that the risk of cancer is 93% higher among those drinking chlorinated than those drink filtered water. Increase Green Intakes Add lots of green vegetables and leafs in your diet. Try to fix the darkest verities in your salad and make it even greener to ward off or prevent cancerous cells. The chlorophyll that gives them green color is loaded with magnesium, which some large studies have found lowers the risk of colon cancer in women. Even some different compounds in vegetables can kill cancer cells. Researchers have figured out just what broccoli does that helps keep cancer in check. These green vegetables also contain Beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin, they are all powerful antioxidants that seem to play a role in blocking early stages in the development of cancer Include Brazil Nuts Brazil nuts have an amazing effect on reducing cancerous cells. They are rich form of selenium, a trace mineral that convinces cancer cells to commit suicide and helps cells repair their DNA. Don't eat them if they have turned yellow, fresh Brazil nuts should be ivory white. Daily intake of Brazil nuts can result 63 percent fewer prostate tumors, 58 percent fewer colorectal cancers, 46 percent fewer lung malignancies, and a 39 percent overall decrease in cancer deaths. They are packed with the mineral selenium, which can help prevent cancer of the liver, lung, stomach, prostate, pancreas, brain, kidney and esophagus by blocking the formation of tumors.
