20 Ways to Never Get Cancer

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

#6 – Load up on dark-green greens

When you’re making a salad, reach for the dark-green varieties. The element that provides them with that color is loaded with magnesium, which is highly necessary for the body’s cells, and can lower the risk of colon cancer in women. Include the dark-green greens in your daily diet, for example, spinach, it can provide 20% of the magnesium’s daily value.

#7 – Snack on Brazil nuts

They are a good source of selenium, an antioxidant that reduces the risk of bladder cancer in women. People with high blood levels of selenium have lower chances of dying of colorectal cancer and lung cancer. This antioxidant protects cells from damage and may enhance immune function.

#8 – Burn off your risk

A modest exercise of 2 hours walking per week, cuts 18% risk of breast cancer. Regular workouts will get you to burn all fat which produces estrogen, a main contributor to breast cancer. You can either walk few days a week, find your ideal workout program at home, or go to gym.

#9 – Skip the dry cleaner

Traditional dry cleaning may cause liver and kidney cancers, because they use a solvent known as perc. The major dangers are actually to workers who handle chemicals and clothes using older machines. There are many better alternatives like hand-wash clothes and air-dry them.

#10 – Ask about breast density

Women’s mammograms that reveal breast density readings of 75% or more, are exposed to breast cancer risk 4 to 5 times higher than women with low density readings. The main cause of denser breasts is probably higher levels of estrogen, which brings us back to the importance of exercise.

#11 – Head off cell phone risks

Try to use your phone only for texts and short calls, or use a hands-free device, to keep the radio frequency energy it emits away from your brain. There’s no evidence though that phones increase risk of brain cancer, but the point is to preempt any risk more than to protect against a proven danger.
