People turn pale at the mention of cancer. Rather than remaining in the state of apprehension, it is better to learn ways of prevention. Because cancer has nothing to do with good or bad fortune, it is closely related to your daily habits.

 

Experts sum up the 6 behaviors that are intimately related to cancer. Let’s see whether you have one of these habits or not.
 

Stay away from the habits we are going to talk about below in order to reduce the risk of cancer.
 

People who favor eating very hot food are exposed to esophageal cancer.
 

Research has shown that, generally, the highest tolerable temperature for the mouth is 50-60 Celsius. Temperatures above that level will produce mild burns in mucous membranes of the mouth and esophagus. Long term exposure to excessively hot food, such as Gongfu Tea, hot spot, or spicy hot etc., can damage oral and esophageal mucosa. Repeated burns to the mucosa that do not heal will induce changes in nature--canceration-- as shown below. 

 

Sedentary people are easily prone to colon cancer. 

 

It is a misunderstanding that sedentariness only does harm to neck and lumbar vertebrae. According to studies released in the United States, the risk of colon cancer for people who are used to sitting for a long time is 40% to 50% higher than that for those who often do exercise.  

Isn’t it romantic to taking a walk with your partner after a meal?  
 

Smoking increases risk of lung cancer.
 

Smoking is deemed to be the first among all the cancerogenic factors published by WHO. It is reported that the mortality risk of lung cancer leaps 20 times higher for those who have been smoking 20 cigarettes daily for more than 20 years. Also, the possibility of lung cancer for women living together with partners who do smoke is 6 times higher. Female smokers have a chance of getting lung cancer, and it is about 1.9 times higher, compared to male smokers.
 

Please quit smoking!

Students in medical colleges all know that professors like to talk about the dangers of smoking in class. It is because smoking is one culprit behind many other diseases as well, except for lung cancer.
 

People with excessive habitual drinking disorders are more prone to get liver cancer. 
 

Metabolism of alcohol in the human body relies on the liver. Some substances, like oxidizing agents and free radicals etc., which cannot be cleared by the body itself, are produced during the metabolic process. What makes it terrible is that all these substances are toxic to the human body.
 

Long-term excessive alcohol consumption will result in fatty degeneration, necrosis, and regeneration in liver cells, which lead to cirrhosis. Finally, cirrhosis can change into liver cancer.
 

The habit of eating leftovers makes you exposed to stomach cancer.

Food left overnight is usually rich in nitrites. With the accumulation of nitrites in the body reaching to a certain level, intestinal and stomach cancers can be induced.

In addition, too much pickled food can also increase the risk of stomach cancer. When pickled food is processed, the nitrates contained originally in the food will deoxidize into nitrites. If nitrites irritate the stomach mucous membrane for a long term, the possibility of mutations from mucosal cells will increase.   
 

Staying-up-late and stress can increase the danger of breast cancer in women.

 

For modern women, both staying-up-late and stress can lead to breast cancer. Long term staying-up-late can result in endocrine disorders, which increase the risk of breast cancer.

 

Here are some tips for women: Breast self-examination should be included as part of daily breast care. Moreover, specialized breast examinations should be done annually.
