Does leading a healthy lifestyle really prevent cancer? originally appeared on Quora: the place to gain and share knowledge, empowering people to learn from others and better understand the world.
Answer by Adriana Heguy, molecular biologist, genomics researcher, on Quora:
If you understand cancer prevention as taking measures to reduce the risk of developing cancer, then yes, leading a healthy lifestyle will prevent cancer. But not 100%. It’s always a matter of risk reduction. If you have genetic factors, you may not avoid cancer. Sometimes people just get unlucky: the wrong cell mutates at the wrong time, and you still end up with cancer.
But a healthy lifestyle is part of an overall strategy of cancer prevention, that should include screening as recommended by your doctor, for early detection.
Some concrete examples of healthy lifestyle and cancer prevention:
Do not smoke [1] .
Smoking, a main cause of small cell and non-small cell lung cancer, contributes to 80 percent and 90 percent of lung cancer deaths in women and men, respectively. Men who smoke are 23 times more likely to develop lung cancer. Women are 13 times more likely, compared to never smokers.
Between 2005 and 2010, an average of 130,659 Americans (74,300 men and 56,359 women) died of smoking-attributable lung cancer each year. Exposure to secondhand smoke causes approximately 7,330 lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers every year.

I am aware of a newborn with liver cancer. Please pray for him. His name is Thomas. He is at Mass General Hospital so he has that going for him!
Heartbreaking.
If you eat right, don’t drink, don’t smoke and get plenty of rest and exercise you get six more years in an old folks home.
It reduces risks. Other factors contribute to cancer, exposure to harmful frequency energy, handling of carcinogenic chemicals and substances, eating foods with certain chemicals in them increase rates, radiation exposure, anything that can damage dna ...
It is always the ones who have a couple nips who live to 103!
Or, as the old joke goes, “you don’t live longer, it just seems longer”.
Runners live 5 years longer than everybody else, but they spend the extra 5 years running.
Prayers for that poor baby to survive and be fully healthy.

“A woman who celebrated her 104th birthday on Monday claims potato salad and Diet Coke are responsible for her long life”
My own research shows two major influencing factors relating to cancer.
1. Predisposition due to immune system suppression.
2. Toxins in environment
A varying combination of these two factors increases the chances of cancer.
For example, if the immune system is suppressed a lower level of toxin in the environment is needed.
As an extreme empath, I feel a severe burning sensation in the bottom of my liver, just under the right side of my rib cage when I am near a person with cancer. It feels as though I’m being stabbed with a hot poker.
In every single case, which I have tested many with cancer, when I physically touch the memory stored in the person’s soul attached to the cancer, the person’s physical body moves to their left. This indicates that the person internalizes emotions. I have found this to be true in all auto immune disorders, including cancer and MS.
I search for the stored memory in the soul field that represents the experience that became the perceptual programming event creating the self punishment through the immune system.
Breast cancers are usually easiest to detect the root causation for several reasons. Brain tumors are more difficult.
Much of the response appears to relate to cytochrome P450 enzyme levels in the liver.
I know this all sounds bizarre. Welcome to my life reality. It makes it extremely difficult to be in public.
I remember a line in the movie North. Something along these lines: Every hour you exercise increases your lifespan by an hour. So why bother if you’re just going to spend all that extra time exercising?
The evidence seems to show that a clean life lived apart from serious environmental risks DOES PREVENT CANCER. Not perfectly, but well enough.
Genetic tendencies can often be prevented or headed off by various lifestyle changes. That is, if you know about them soon enough.
The past generations including Gen X, mine, have been exposed to so much crap in our lives that is now too late to undo. The best we can do is to live as cleanly as we can, and to raise our kids as cleanly as we can.
With all that said, we also take risks with our jobs, hobbies, sports. Sometimes life is a risk. I’m not living with zero risks like a sterile lab rat. But where a cleaner, healthier choice wouldn’t reduce my quality of life, I will do it.
If I could offer advice to clean up one’s life, I’d advise
1) eat healthy animals, avoid feedlot cheap meat and dairy
2) eat organic produce to reduce the sheer total of pesticides you build your body with
3) reduce all processed carb foods, breads, desserts, etc. Eat starches in forms close to natural, like rice, potatoes, root vegetables, corn. Your gut bugs need them and they help keep you healthy.
4) don’t use chemical laundry products post first wash, no softeners or dryer sheets or starches. Make sure your detergent gets rinsed off the clothes. Don’t dry clean much. All of these products enter your skin and your bloodstream
5) same with lotions and skin products, trade the chemicals for natural oils like shea butter and coconut oil
6) get fresh air, sunshine and exercise
7) supplement vitamins and minerals to a therapeutic normal range because our soils and diets are depleted of them
8) don’t cook or warm foods in plastic, including nonstick surfaces
You can do all this and still get sick, but your likelihood is much less than someone who doesn’t take this kind of care.
MY KIND OF MAN....big Seeeegar & a two fisted drinker.
Looks pretty good for 40.....<: <: <:
Like the Dr told the man to cut down on his bacon and eggs in the morning and only a cup of coffee.
My Grandfather ate half a dozen eggs and a pound of bacon and a pot of coffee every day for breakfast and lived to be 94.
YES, but that was before we knew about cholesterol’s.
AND it is a common fact that anyone that ate beans in the Army during the Civil War died.
Eat right. Exercise daily. Die anyway.
Anyone that ate ANYTHING in the Civil War died. There ain't a single one living today.
Do you know everyone in the Civil War?
Living a healthy lifestyle is always the smart choice as it enables you to live many more trouble free years later in life regardless of whether it prevents cancer or not.
