7 WEIRD THINGS THAT INCREASE THE RISK OF CANCER


We all know the basics for avoiding cancer – don’t smoke, apply sunscreen, avoid red meat and keep away from air pollution. However, there are things that increase the risk of it, but don’t get a lot of attention. Check out these 7 things that increase the risk of cancer.


1. Hot tea
Drinking tea might seem as a good way to deal with stress. In
addition, green tea can even reduce the risk of cancer. However, you have to
wait for it to cool drinking hot tea can increase the risk of alimentary canal
cancer.

2. Sitting
One way to avoid cancer is to move around. Physical activity is closely related to reducing the risk of the most common cancers, including lung, intestine and breast ones.

3. Tallness
Taller people have greater chances of getting sick compared to shorter. According to a 2018 research, every 10 cm increase the risk of cancer for 10%. Even though it is not clear how they are connected, researchers believe that it is because taller people have more cells which can become cancerous.


4. Barbeque smoke
Summer barbeques are not as innocent as they seem. People that
sit very close to the barbeque might inhale the dangerous chemicals from the
smoke. These chemicals are cancerous. As well as inhaling it, it is also bad
for this smoke to come in contact with the skin. Therefore, you should cover
the barbeque, sit further away from it and dress better.

5. Breast implants
According to research, women with certain breast implants might face a rare kind of lymphoma. This is not breast cancer, but it is generated in the cells of the immune system. However, the overall risk is quite small. Out of 7.000 women that have implants, only 1 might face this disease by the age of 75.

6. Alcohol
Clinking glasses might not be the best idea. Researchers have
estimated that about 5% of new cancer cases and 6% of death cases are directly
connected to alcohol consumption. Researchers pointed out the even moderated
drinking might increase the chances of getting sick.

7. Being overweight
Increased body weight might increase the risk of over 10 cancers. In one research, among fat and overweight people the risk of getting sick was double, especially for alimentary canal, stomach, liver and kidney cancer.

I thought I would talk a little about these effects, and why they can be so detrimental to our health. Most of us are familiar with the affect excess sugar can have on us; our appetites increase and we can have a greater desire for more sweets, which can lead to cravings, mood swings, and the all too familiar energy crash which leaves you reaching for more sugar to pick you back up again. Eating too much sugar can lead to unhealthy eating patterns as well as an addiction to sugar. This is because sugar is a mood-booster – it prompts the body to release dopamine and serotonin (our happy and pleasure hormones) into the reward centre of the brain. The instant ‘lift’ we get from sugar is one of the reasons many people turn to it at times of stress, difficultly, celebration or when we crave comfort or rewar...
