If you have a healthier diet and a normal enriched lifestyle you wouldn’t have to worry about contracting cancer, say doctors. The WCRF stated that every year around two million cases could be prevented if people learnt to live healthier than what they do now. The team also called on governments of all nations to encourage their citizens on choosing healthier options in life and to have a fit and fine lifestyle that would help them stay far away from the grips of cancer.
In the recent past the number of cancer cases has increased in leaps and bounds and now we have around more than twelve million cases every year. This would be with other cases of chronic ailments as well, such as lung disease, heart and even diabetes to name a few. These are new age challenges which this world is now facing, as told by WCRF.
A recent report which was released by WCRF clearly stated that politicians across the globe need to proclaim the importance of having a healthy lifestyle to their citizens in order to combat the ever growing menace of cancer cases across the world. This would not only be for cancer but for other lifestyle ailments that come along as well, say doctors.
When the heads of the nation get together and educate masses around the globe on cancer and allow the awareness to spread, it would be very helpful on a long term basis, say reports. They should initiate the importance of doing away with excessive smoking and discouraging it altogether. Even the use of too much alcohol, bad diets, and lack of exercises can be contributing factors towards attaining cancer, say experts.
However, in most developing nations this just remains a dream, since taking such action and measures would mean implying high taxes on such commodities, regulating the sale of such products and bringing a stop to advertising such products as well in the market. This would mean, if politicians have to take a stand against tobacco and liquor, they would have to come into conflict with those who manufacture them, which they aren’t ready to do, says a source.
The stakes are very high at the moment, since governments are hardly doing anything to make people aware of the ill effects of having bad diets, smoking too much or drinking a lot as well. Most don’t even know that obesity and consuming too much of alcohol can actually increase the risks of contracting cancer, say specialists. Right from advertising to pricing of goods and commodities, there are various reasons why people choose for cheaper options in life to sustain on, which may or may not be healthy for them in the long run, says a source.
The real issue may not crop up now and make the healthcare officials check for the same in time. It may happen at a later stage when the cases of cancer triples or goes out of hand and the resources for cure would be less or still not found, say doctors.
