Avoiding Cancer part1

Did you know that according to a study,80-90% of cancers are caused by lifestyle & environment? Believe you me, that's the case!

More so, there are approx.250 different kinds of cancers to complicate the issue.
A Tulane Medical Center, U.S.A ,study noted that people living within a mile radius of chemical industrial plants were ten times more likely to get lung cancers. Bladder cancers are often associated with employment in industrial occupations,particularly in the chemical, car & engineering manufacturing sector.
Actually,I guess many people around the globe don't know how cancers are named, unless one is a doctor or an expert in a medical field. They are named according to where they begin. Check this out:

1.Sarcomas-involves the cells of the bones and cartilage.
2.Carcinomas-affects the cells of lining tissues to body cavities & organs.
3.Leukaemia-invades bone marrow & lymph nodes.
4.Lymphomas-cancers forming in lymphatic tissue.

But of course, other major types of cancers have further subdivisions.

Do you have any idea that your present diet may be ingredients of death? Well, it's very easy to change that.A research by American Public Health Service has shown that reduction in fat consumption( especially of saturated fatty acids) should be the no.1 dietary priority in boosting the health of Americans.

To be precise, a study has shown that 34% of fat we eat is cooking fat ,26% is meat,18% is milk,cream & cheese,4% is egg&fish and the rest is from vegetables.Most people inn Kenya like eating French fries(chips) but little do they know that they are heavy contributors to fat overdose.
Here's a guide to daily food choices:
-Eat mostly-whole grains,breads,cereals,rice&pasta(6-11 servings)
-Eat generously-fruits,vegetables(2-5 servings)
-Eat moderately-beans,nuts,seads,meat(2- 4 servings)
-Eat sparingly-fat,oils and sweets
