The phenomenon that attracted the attention of the medical world today is the increasing number of deaths due to malignant disease in which the score was close to death due to infectious diseases, not least diseases of the respiratory system. Recent research conducted in India mentions the prevalence of mortality due to cancer of the respiratory system in its region increased 0.5-fold compared to 2013. Even more surprising, especially lung cancer were found 47.8 percent are those non-smokers.
We need to underline that many studies have shown that women are more vulnerable to cancer-causing chemicals found in cigarettes. In another study, a gene associated with the growth of lung cancer cells was found to be abnormally active in women than in men. Women who do not smoke even if secondhand smoke, the body's own cells would be more susceptible to cancer than men.
Not only cigarettes, researchers in Sweden who see the medical records of 140,000 breast cancer patients found that an increase of lung cancer 5 to 20 years after breast cancer treatment. Suspicion is that radiotherapy in the chest area may have made the lungs more susceptible to disease. Furthermore, according to researchers at the University of Pittsburg, estrogen can stimulate the growth of non-small cell lung cancer, especially breast cancer patients who use the method of substitution therapy with estrogen.
Because of the large existing risk factors, preventive measures should be undertaken immediately start a diet like apples. Based on studies in Finland, an apple a day can provide protection in the lungs. A high intake of compounds beta-carotene may reduce the risk of lung cancer you, but the study also showed that beta-carotene is only effective when the compound ingested from whole foods such as peaches, melons, carrots, mangoes, dark leafy vegetables as a supplement that can be consumed adalaha selenium and Vitamin C consumed long term has been shown to lower the incidence of lung cancer. But that is no less important in the process of prevention is to avoid exposure to either active or passive smoking and always exercise regularly and avoid excessive stress that our metabolism in running well.
