There are 5 common causes of cancer. It is advisable to know these and to minimize them for yourself. But there are also types of cancer that you cannot protect yourself against and you are really just unlucky. But, as I said, there is also cancer that can be avoided. #cancer #cancercause #cancerrisk ⏩ First get informed, then supplement: Please take a look at my guide https://bit.ly/RatgeberHowTo ✅ ❎ 100% independent ❎ 100% study-based ❎ 100% medically correct The number of cancer cases has been rising steadily for decades. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that we are all getting older. For many types of cancer, the likelihood of getting cancer increases with age - a factor that we cannot influence. But did you know that cancer is diagnosed more frequently in economically strong regions around the world? This could of course also be because there is more diagnostics and early detection in countries like Germany. However, current research also assumes that many lifestyle factors typical of industrialized countries, such as 1) fast food, 2) lack of exercise, 3) stress, hectic lifestyles, and lack of sleep, are also responsible for the development of cancer. These are typical risk factors for cancer. There are enough people who have never smoked a cigarette in their lives and yet still develop lung cancer, and people who live to a supposedly healthy old age with a cigarette in their hand. Ultimately, we must not underestimate chance, or our genetics. However, many things are within our own hands. The top 5 risk factors for cancer Cancer risk no. 1: Smoking as a cause of cancer Tobacco consumption is responsible for at least 19% of all cancer cases in Germany, making it the sad number 1 most avoidable risk factor. It is important to note that smoking not only increases the risk of lung cancer, but also, for example, throat cancer, etc. Cancer risk number 2: Unhealthy diet as a cause of cancer I like to preach it often in my videos: unhealthy diet is a risk factor for many diseases, including cancer. An estimated 8% of cancers are caused by, for example, fatty, highly salty or super sweet food. Cancer risk number 3: Obesity as a cause of cancer The International Agency for Research on Cancer sees a connection between at least 13 types of cancer and excess body fat, including, for example, liver cancer, kidney cancer and malignant tumors of the male and female genitals. Cancer risk number 4: Lack of exercise as a cause of cancer It doesn't matter whether you are overweight and don't exercise enough, or whether you are of normal weight and don't exercise enough. People who don't do any sport for years, or who don't regularly exercise in the fresh air in their free time, are comparatively more likely to develop, for example, colon cancer, bladder cancer and uterine cancer. Cancer risk no. 5: Infections as a cause of cancer Don't worry, I'm not talking about a flu-like infection or anything like that. I'm talking about infections with the so-called human papilloma viruses, or HPV for short, and the hepatitis viruses. HP viruses are particularly associated with cervical cancer and oropharyngeal tumors.
