How should I prevent a second cancer ?

The cancer patients who get cured are asked to be on regular health check-up for various reasons. The life for a cancer patient changes for ever , once he/she is diagnosed of cancer. There is a constant fear of the disease coming back. I cannot deny that each individual does have a risk of suffering from cancer and the risk varies from person to person. How should one minimise one's risk ?

1. In breast cancer patients it has been found that eating lots of fruits and vegetables and restricting the intake of dietary fats , helps in reducing the risk.
2. In head and neck cancer patients also eating fruits and vegetables has tremendous benefits. Under medical supervision you can also consider Vitamin A analog supplementation.
3. Consumption of vegetables, fruits, legumes, and grain-based foods, have been shown to have a protective effect particularly for cancers of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts.
4. Restrictions:Choose foods low in fat ,Limit consumption of meats, especially high-fat meats

The universal best things to avoid completely are

1. Smoking
2. Alcohol
3. Any kind of tobacco product.

All said and done leading a healthy balanced life with lot of fun , does help.
