โ€œThis year, more than 10 million people worldwide are expected to be diagnosed with cancer, a disease commonly believed to be preventable.

Only 5โ€“10% of all cancer cases can be attributed to genetic defects, whereas the remaining 90โ€“95% have their roots in the environment and lifestyle.

The lifestyle factors include cigarette smoking, diet (fried foods, red meat), alcohol, sun exposure, environmental pollutants, infections, stress, obesity, and physical inactivity.

The evidence indicates that of all cancer-related deaths, almost 25โ€“30% are due to to***co, as many as 30โ€“35% are linked to diet, about 15โ€“20% are due to infections, and the remaining percentage are due to other factors like radiation, stress, physical activity, environmental pollutants etc.

Therefore, cancer prevention requires smoking cessation, increased ingestion of fruits and vegetables, moderate use of alcohol, caloric restriction, exercise, avoidance of direct exposure to sunlight, minimal meat consumption, use of whole grains, use of vaccinations, and regular check-ups.

The Breast Cancer Awareness Month, marked in countries across the world every October, helps to increase attention and support for the awareness, early detection and treatment as well as palliative care of this disease.

According to the World Health Organisation, there are about 1.38 million new cases and 458 000 deaths from breast cancer each year.

Breast cancer is by far the most common cancer in women worldwide, both in the developed and developing countries.

In low- and middle-income countries the incidence has been rising up steadily in the last years due to an increase in life expectancy, increase urbanization and adoption of western lifestyles.

There is a growing body of knowledge on the causes of breast cancer, but, early detection of the disease remains the cornerstone of breast cancer control.

When breast cancer is detected early, and if adequate diagnosis and treatment are available, there is a good chance that breast cancer can be cured.

If detected late, however, curative treatment options are limited. In such cases, palliative care to relief the suffering of patients and their families is needed.

Do you know how to check for any signs of breast cancer?

We will be share in-depth valuable information on breast cancer this month.

Make sure to follow us and be informed.

Itโ€™s estimated that around 15 per cent of the adult population will experience depression at one point or another throughout life.

According to the World Health Organization, there are currently over 300 million people in the world currently living with depression.

There are many factors alongside and including depression and mental illness that influence a personโ€™s decision to go through with su***de: -Chronic ill-health
Guilt
Trauma
Substance abuse
Loss
The tragic thing is that many of those who consider su***de donโ€™t really want to die; they just donโ€™t know how to deal with the pain theyโ€™re experiencing.

If youโ€™ve ever been suicidal or know someone that has, youโ€™ll know that without help, escaping that feeling of wanting to end it all is difficult.

If youโ€™re having difficulty opening up to people close to you about your problems, seek professional help
