“We are what we eat” is a worn-out cliché. As simple as it may sound, but it has
become difficult for us to make wise decisions concerning our diet, especially when our days are packed.

One of the health diseases that our diet could be a contributing factor of is
cancer. Cancer is the third leading cause of death in the country. Often, we equate cancer with helplessness and death but the truth is, cancer can be prevented and the first step is to adopt a healthy diet.

Cancer development depends on family history (genetics), health, nutrition,
personal habits, and the environment. But among these causes, healthy diet tops the list in cancer prevention. What we take in for everyday nourishment is the major key to a healthy life.

Nowadays, we mostly eat  fatty food like pork and chicken skin, which can
increase risk of cancer. Our bodies require a certain amount of fat but an excess of it can be harmful to the body. A high-fat diet tends to be higher in calories and may increase the risk to become overweight or obese, and develop cancer.

We should eat food that are rich in antioxidants such as fruits and vegetables,
for they lower the risk of developing cancer. Antioxidants act as protective agents of the cells in the body. Foods rich in Vitamin D and protein also aid in blocking cancer-causing chemicals. 

Cancers that are linked to certain habits are the easiest ways to prevent, such as
those caused by tobacco or cigarette smoking.

We all know that  cigarette smoking is the leading cause of cancer. A cigarette
contains 100 chemicals and most of them are carcinogenic or cancer-causing.

Also, we should be aware of "secondhand smoke" because there are more
carcinogenic chemicals present upon our inhalation. When our bodies are exposed to these carcinogens, our body cells are damaged to a certain extent and their normal function affected.

Alcohol beverages must be taken in moderation. Our alcohol consumption can
significantly expose us to acquiring several types of cancer―lung, throat, mouth, and liver cancer.

In preventing cancer, a healthy diet and lifestyle should be coupled with early
detection of the disease. Some of the symptoms of cancer do not appear in the early stage. Regular screenings and checkups enable us to be updated on any irregularities happening in our bodies. These can help us in detecting any health diseases at an early stage.

Women should do monthly breast self-examination (BSE) for early detection of
lumps surrounding the breasts.  Women 40 years old and up should undergo annual clinical breast examination, especially those who have a family history of such type of cancer.

Childhood cancer, however, cannot be prevented.

The reality is, as more and more children are diagnosed and will likely survive
with cancer, it is increasingly important to address ongoing and emerging needs of the child and their family to achieve complete and long-term healing.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
