I found a very nice read today, pointed out to me by Mike Street of Reader’s Digest Online: an article entitled 31 Simple Ways to Prevent Cancer. Some very practical tips presented in a sorta funny way but with a big ring of truth into it.
Besides, before we all get rattled by the recent cancer scare on cellphone use and other stuff, really the prevention (or at least reducing our risk of developing any cancer later in life) all boils down to the dietary and lifetsyle changes each of us are willing to take, IMHO.
Anyways, here goes in bullets only:

It has all been said so many times already that one’s diet plays a big role in cancer and cancer prevention.
Although that is true, we cannot just decide one day to pick up a healthier diet (like increasing the intake of fruits and veggies!!) and be assured we won’t increase or risk of developing any cancer type.

Genetics play a key role in cancer. It is as much to blame as the stuff we eat and all other elements we expose ourselves to – factors that predispose humans to cancer.
However, we can still choose to live a healthy life by choosing what we eat and adjusting our lifestyle – not the be-all and end-all of getting rid of cancer but this we can still do pre or post-cancer.
While it irritates us (it irritates me!) when experts say that it is something in our genes that’s why we get cancer, or Alzheimer’s or diabetes – making it sound …read more

Blogging about cancer has taught me lots of things. In my honest opinion, cancer is the ultimate (bad) karma to mankind for being so harsh to the body and the environment.
Cancer I believe is the proliferation of the worst permutations of G x E: Genetics and Environment.
That been said, I came up with the top ten cancer beaters in the order of things most controllable to man to the least controllable:

Go natural. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Avoid junk foods, microwable and instant foods, canned goods and cured meat products. Eat more fish. Think antioxidants, flavonoids and the likes. Furthermore, …read more
