Try to be physically active for 30 minutes or most days of the week.
16. Cut down on alcohol consumption.
Your body sees alcohol as a poison, or at least as something it doesn't actually want inside it. To fight back, and sober you up, humans produce an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase.Drinking alcohol can lead to changes in your body which can lead to some bad diseases. Discuss how alcohol might affect you with a nurse or doctor.
17. Protect yourself and your partner from STDs. Some segxwally transmitted infections lead to changes in the body which can lead to deadly diseases. It was said that using condoms is a way of having safe sex but it is not 100%.
18. Avoid potentially carcinogenic compounds
A carcinogen is any substance, radionuclide, or radiation that is an agent directly involved in causing cancer. This may be due to the ability to damage the genome or to the disruption of cellular metabolic processes. Carcinogenic compounds such as formaldehyde (found in car exhaust and in sealant products), benzene, asbestos and many others. For the most part, try to avoid automobile fumes and similar air impurities.
Do not make foods or drinks known to contain carcinogenic compounds. Do not make teas or root-beer from the roots of the Sassafras plant, as these contain safole which may be carcinogenic. Limit your use of Nutmeg, as safole is a minor constituent of that spice as well.
"Prevention is better than cure". Once a diseases like cancer is in, it might birth to other deadly diseases. Doing this is a means of prevention that will birth healthy life.
