smoking as always is dangerous to your health. Smoking has been linked to different types of cancer like cancer of the mouth, larynx, throat, pancreas, cervix, bladder, kidney, and especially long cancer. If you are a cigarette smoker, please stop these vices. It's hard to stop this immediately as it becomes a significant part of your life but do something and discipline yourself not to smoke each day. As much as possible, avoid tobacco in all of its forms including exposure to secondhand smoke. 

2. Eating Nutritious Food

One way for you to live a cancer-free life is by eating nutritious foods especially vegetables and fruits which contain nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. There are vegetables and fruits that we can plant in our backyard, so start planting as these foods will make us strong and healthier. Limit yourself from eating large amounts of processed meat as this can increase the risk of having cancer.

3. Exercise Regularly

Our body needs exercise regularly whether simple exercise we can do at home like doing our household chores each day or outdoor exercise like walking, jogging, or playing sports together with our friends outside. You will be physically fit and you will have fewer chances of getting diagnosed with cancer if exercise becomes part of your daily routine.

4. Drink Alcohol Moderately

Drinking enough glasses of water every day is always advisable for our health but drinking too much alcohol can cause various types of cancer like lung, colon, breast, kidney, and liver cancer. Our body needs alcohol but too much of it is not right. So please drink occasionally and moderately.

5. Protect Skin

Another common cancer is skin cancer but it can be preventable. sunlight is good for our skin. But not the blazing sun, it will burn and damage your skin and you might also get dehydrated. When your skin is exposed to sunlight, it makes vitamin D from cholesterol. The sun’s ultraviolet B (UVB) rays hit cholesterol in the skin cells, providing the energy for vitamin D synthesis to occur. Vitamin D has many roles in the body and is essential for optimal health but avoid too much sun exposure especially between 10am to 3 pm when the sun's heat is at its peak. Use hats, umbrellas, and other head covering to help protect your delicate skin from the blazing sun because this could damage it.
