Do This To Prevent Lung Cancer!
Preventing lung cancer isn't possible as long as you smoke. Quit that habit and follow these tips to reduce your chances of suffering lung cancer.
Quit smoking! Only then, it is possible to minimise the risk of lung cancer! Statistics say that more than 85% of the deaths caused by lung cancer are due to smoking.
Apart from staying away from tobacco, is there anything else to do in order to minimise the chances of falling prey to lung cancer?
Yes. Up your intake of veggies and fruits. They have many anti-cancer compounds. Read on to know about a few tips to minimise lung cancer chances.
Eat Papayas
You need carotenoids to protect your body against the effects of smoking. Eat Papayas, oranges, peaches, red bell peppers and carrots.
Eat Cruciferous Vegetables
Broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts should be part of your diet. Why? Well, they contain sulforaphane which is a compound that prevents cancer.
Eat Salmon
You need salmon, mackerel and sardines. You need omega 3 fatty acids. Generally, smokers who eat animal fat suffer higher risk of lung cancer. Eat fish instead of meat.
Eat Spinach
You need folate. Kale, spinach and beans contain it. Studies suggest that folate can help in bringing down the chances of lung cancer. If you smoke and drink, your folate levels go down.
Clear The Damage
Cruciferous vegetables also contain indole-3-carbinol. This substance can repair the damage that has occurred in the cells due to the action of carcinogens.
Say Goodbye To Red Meat!
It is better to reduce your consumption of red meat as it could up the risk of cancer.
