Cancer risk can be reduced by one third by changing diet and lifestyle
May 13, 2008
In a recent development it has been found that by mere change of life style one third of the population can be saved form getting exposed the risk of cancer. Experts say this amounts to 95,000 people a year, more than enough to fill Wembley.
Professor Martin Wiseman of the World Cancer Research Fund said: “When health charities talk about numbers, it can often be difficult to comprehend what that means. We hope that by comparing it to something easier to imagine, like the capacity of Wembley, we can show the scale of the problem.”
The World Cancer Research Fund approximate comes among concern that growing waistlines, coupled with binge-drinking, lack of work out and poor diet is fuelling cancer.
Cases of womb cancer that is twice as common in the overweight – have risen by a 1/5th over the past decade while kidney cancer, also linked to obesity, went up by 14 %. Cancer prevention advice includes staying slim, exercising at least half an hour a day and eating more fruit, vegetables, whole grains and pulses.
The World Cancer Research Fund’s estimate of the number of avoidable cancer cases follows concern that growing waistlines, coupled with lack of exercise and binge drinking, are fuelling the disease.
Cases of mouth cancer that is connected with smoking and drinking have augmented by roughly a quarter in a decade. The number of cases of womb cancer – that is twice as common in the overweight – rose by a fifth in the same period. Cases of kidney cancer, which is also linked to obesity, went up by 14 %, recent figures compiled by Cancer Research UK show. Almost 285,000 people are diagnosed with cancer in the United Kingdom every year and nearly 155,000 die.
Professor Wiseman, a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Pathologists, said “We need to remember that for every single one of these cases, there is a devastating impact on the lives of people who are diagnosed and also on their families, not to mention the financial cost of treatment.”This is why we need to do more to promote the message that with relatively simple changes, people can make a real difference to their cancer risk.”
A milestone report issued by the World Cancer Research Fund last year also suggested avoiding processed meat – and limiting intake of red meat to 18oz (500g) a week – the equal of 3 steaks.
