According to the Canadian Cancer Society, people can prevent at least half of all cancers with lifestyle habits:
- Don't smoke and avoid exposure to second-hand smoke
- Eat a high-fibre, low-fat diet, including plenty of fruits and vegetables, and limit your alcohol intake to no more than two drinks a day
- Exercise regularly
- Reduce your sun exposure, particularly between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., and wear sunscreen every day
- See your doctor for regular cancer screening based on your age and family history, and any time you notice a change in your health
- Follow safety guidelines when using, storing or disposing of hazardous materials

my younger brother is only 24...doesn't smoke or drink but use to chew tobacco manichand the one in a blue can) he was diagnosed with a small intestine cancer this past aug.
he started to chew it few years back and we believe that he got cancer frm that...the tumor was already big enough to block his intestines (he was on IV's only for two months--could NOT eat/drink anything, not even water), he had a 7 hour long surgrey in which they were able to remove the cancer...and he is now on chemo. he is doing much better Allamh.
plz let this story be a lesson and avoid tabcco and plz be healthy.
oh n we are in amercia...n unfornt. things like manichand and gutka are avlb. here too.
