Ways to Prevent Cancer In Men

1. Try to be physically active for 30 minutes or more on most days of the week.
2. Avoiding tobacco in any form significantly reduces your risk of several cancers.
3. There is preliminary evidence that suggests some chemoprotectives found in foods may help reduce risk for prostate cancer. For example, lycopene , the ingredient found in tomatoes and processed tomato products that gives them their red color, may have cancer-fighting properties.
4. Studies suggest that men who consume 2 alcoholic drink per day and women who have 1 alcoholic drink per day significantly increase their risk factors for certain types of cancer.
5. Eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day.
6. Most skin cancer occurs on exposed parts of your body, such as your face, hands, forearms and ears. Nearly all skin cancer is treatable if you detect it early, but it's better to prevent it in the first place.
7. You should also avoid breathing in other people's smoke. Nonsmokers exposed to second-hand smoke are at an increased risk for developing lung cancer.
8. Maintaining a healthy weight and exercising regularly also may play a role in preventing cancer. Obesity may be a risk factor for cancer of the prostate, etc.
9. Research tells us that some types of cancers can be genetic. Knowing your family history of cancer can help you make more informed decisions about your healthcare.
10. The best way to prevent lung cancer is not to smoke. If you already smoke, you should try to quit.
11. Protect your eyes and lips. Facial features, especially eyes and lips, are susceptible sites for skin cancer. To protect your eyes, wear sunglasses treated to absorb UV radiation and make sure they cover the area surrounding your eyes. For lips, use a lip balm that has an SPF of at least 15.
12. Research suggests that a diet high in animal fat can lead to the development of certain cancers.
13. Eat lighter and leaner by choosing fewer high-fat foods, particularly those from animal sources. High-fat diets may increase your risk of cancer of the prostate, etc.
14. It is wise to correct cryptorchidism in boys. And knowing he has a risk factor for testicular cancer may cause a young man to be more watchful and to check his testicles, making it more likely a cancer will be found early.
15. Unsafe sex can result in the infection of the HPV virus, a known cause for many cancers.
16. Regular screening and self-examination for certain cancers increase your chances of discovering cancer early - when treatment is more likely to be successful.
