Cancer Prevention

Can we prevent Cancer?

The most common question that I get is if we can prevent cancer? The answer is yes and no. 

Yes, we can prevent cancer, but if we start the preventive measures we can prevent it maybe after 200 years. 

It is an independent person's choice if we need to move the first stone. Yes, the first step. I can people question the 100s of research around the world. There are not in vain. But if they need to be fruitful then the common consumer should change their lifestyle. It is more like cleaning a gutter that is continuously been dumped with trash. 

But again when I said its individual choice, it is actually not true. As it is a team effort. I shall list the possible bad habits and the possible issues below.

Any process in a human body works in a cycle of 24hrs. That is how we are created by nature. Not only human but plants, bacteria, animals and fungi also follow this pattern. To some extent, this clock can be stretched/ flexible. 

The way the body works is in coordination with Sun. so during each local time, the human system performs its functions including digestion, and bowel and need the appropriate circumstance for it to perform it. 

For Eg : Melatonin, is important for a good sleep cycle and sleep is important for melatonin secret. and it secretes only during dark. and also when the eyes are shut. That is when the light doesn't enter our system. So what happens when we do something else during night? or sleep during the day? The human body gets confused and starts to malfunction.

The first correction or lifestyle change is to do the right things at the right time. There are 3 small things that need our immediate attention:

1. sleep while you have to
2. eat while you need to ( imagine you keep grinding something 24hrs in your blender? what do you do to the engine? , what happens when you continue to water a pot of plant all the time ? don't it vomit or rot? )
3. Don't disturb your hormones - human body secretes different hormones at different circumstances. However, stress induces a spike in the levels of certain harmful hormones which in turn flow abnormally throughout the system to create an imbalance. ( we all know that a vehicle has a time period to change/fill engine oil. can we do it more often and alter its levels ? ).

We all have read that it is good to have our last meal at least 2-3 hrs before bedtime and also it is good to have our dinner before sunset. It is because of this reason. And it is also necessary to at least give 4hrs break between meals for every adult. 4hrs is the time taken by the body to digest any meal fully completely.

Most of our problem will be solved if we rectify these 3 basic things in our life. Hope I have convinced all of you with appropriate real-life examples.

Let us talk more precisely and detailed about each of the cancer in the forthcoming topics.
