00:05Malignant neoplasm, or what we better know as cancer,
00:10is a disease characterized by uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells.
00:14These cells can damage healthy tissue and spread to other organs in a process called metastasis.
00:21Although it sounds scary, there is some very important good news.
00:26The World Health Organization, WHO, states that around 30 to 50 percent of deaths from cancer could actually be prevented.
00:35The key lies in early detection and, most importantly, a healthy lifestyle.
00:40So, how do we protect our bodies from the risk of cancer cell development?
00:46Here are 5 steps to a healthy lifestyle that you can start with.
00:50First, pay attention to your diet.
00:52Avoid fast food and products with high preservatives.
00:57Increase your consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables every day.
01:01Some studies even show that onions and garlic contain compounds that can help prevent the development of cancer cells.
01:09Second, maintain an ideal body weight.
01:12Being overweight can increase insulin levels in the body, which is a risk factor for various chronic diseases, including cancer.
01:21Maintaining a diet and being active are the best ways to control it.
01:27Third, use sunscreen.
01:29Excessive exposure to sunlight can damage skin cell DNA and trigger skin cancer.
01:34Use sunscreen not only when outside, but also when indoors if exposed to direct sunlight.
01:42Fourth, stop smoking.
01:45Smoking is a major risk factor for many types of cancer, from lung to pancreatic.
01:52Quitting smoking is one of the best decisions you can make for your long-term health.
01:58And fifth, exercise regularly.
02:01Lack of movement can actually increase the risk of cancer.
02:04Try to exercise at least three times.
02:08One hour a week to keep the body active and the immune system strong.
02:14These five steps are the foundation of a healthy lifestyle that can significantly reduce your risk of developing cancer.
02:21Prevention is always better than cure.
02:25Start with small steps today for a healthier future.
