Cancer has killed so many people both old and young, it is just like a death sentence, once the doctor diagnoses and the patient is aware, the fear that comes with being aware that one has cancer is even disheartening.
It is the abnormal growth of the cells in the human body and common cancers are prostate cancer, breast cancer, lungs cancer, cervical cancer (it has a vaccine, a pap smear test is encouraged for all sexually active women), to mention but a few.
The World Cancer Day is celebrated every 4th of February to create more awareness of the deadly disease.
Some causes of cancer are reactions from smoking, drinking, a mixture of some hard drugs, it can also be genetic.
People are encouraged to stay healthy generally by eating well in terms of a balanced diet, to make taking fruits and vegetables, drinking a lot of water a habit, as this will boost the immune system. Tending towards natural food especially plant foods is a very good habit rather than artificial foods with lots of preservatives.
People are also encouraged to maintain a good body weight and engage in regular exercises no matter how little.
