8 Tips for Lung Cancer Prevention (🧟)
Lung cancer is a disorder in which cancerous cells develop in the lung's tissues
In both men and women, it is the leading cause of cancer death
We won't be able to prevent every case of lung cancer
However, there are several tips that can help you reduce your risk, such as avoiding a few risk factors
1. Don't start smoking
If you've never smoked before, don't start
Discuss the dangers of smoking with your children so that they are aware of the dangers and how to prevent them
2. Stop smoking right now
Quit smoking, even if you've been a smoker for a long time, to lower your lung cancer risk.
Consult your doctor about smoking cessation tactics and tools that can assist you in quitting. Nicotine replacement products, medicines, and support groups are all options
3. Secondhand smoke should be avoided at all costs
If you have a smoker in your home or at work, encourage them to quit. If you can't get them to stop, tell them they can smoke outside
4. Smoking venues, such as pubs, restaurants, and dedicated smoking areas, should be avoided
5. Do a radon test in your home
If you live in an area where radon is an issue, you may address excessive radon levels and make your house safer
Contact your local department of public health for more information about radon testing
6. Workplace exposure to harmful chemicals should be avoided
Always wear a face mask if one is offered to you for protection. For further information on how to protect yourself at work, consult your doctor
Smokers are more likely to develop lung cancer as a result of workplace toxins
7. Consume a high-fiber, fruit-and-vegetable-rich diet
Vitamin and nutrient sources found in food are preferable to huge dosages of vitamins taken in tablet form, which may have side effects
Heavy smokers were given beta carotene supplements by scientists seeking to lower their lung cancer risk. Supplements increase the risk of cancer in smokers, according to the findings
8. Most days of the week, try to exercise
If you haven't been exercising consistently, begin carefully
