Get Tested and Avoid Lung Cancer
Smoking is BAD! Is there still a living soul that doesn’t know and understand this? There can’t be. The media won’t let such a thing happen. Just take a gander at all the anti-smoking commercials aired daily. If they don’t get the point across, nothing will. As we all know, smoking leads to lung cancer. It’s not exclusively for those with poor genetics or smokers over the age of 65. It can apply to anyone who lights up regularly. One measly cigarette will taint your lungs for a full month. Imagine what a pack a day will do to them. We’re talking some serious damage here. So, if you’re still on the fence about smoking, I think it’s time for a few recent articles on lung cancer.
A surprising finding is that if your parents smoked in the house during your childhood and adolescence, your risk of lung cancer is double as an adult even if you yourself don’t smoke. Parents, think again lighting up your next cigarette! This year, lung cancer will kill about 163,500 Americans and remains the number one cause of cancer deaths taking more lives than colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined.
More than one billion people worldwide are smokers even though nine out of ten lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking. By the year 2020 it’s estimated that as many as ten million people a year will die of smoking related diseases unless radical action is taken to curb the advance of the mega-bucks tobacco industry into Third World countries. About three quarters of those ten million deaths will be in developing nations.
I love to read. Not just novels and the Sunday paper. I mean I really like to read and learn about new things. It’s refreshing and I need to know what’s happening in the world today. If it’s not articles on lung cancer, its break-throughs regarding heart disease or prostate enlargement.
I learned a little bit about how diet affects lung cancer. An apple a day may keep lung cancer away. A Finnish study suggests that apples not only keep doctors away, but provide protection for the lungs as well. This study found that people who ate the most apples were 58 % less likely to develop lung cancer. Other studies suggest that lung cancer risk is lower among smokers and non smokers who ate at least 5 servings of vegetables and fruits daily.
It’s always prudent to add new data to the brain banks. This way you don’t wander through life like a naive, uninformed dolt. You prevent things before they occur, and you seek the newest medications upon the detection of a health affliction. With some health issues, it’s pretty cut and dry. One would think that common sense would overrule, but apparently it doesn’t. If it did, folks wouldn’t still be smoking like chimneys. Some individuals just need a scare before they can get on the smoke-free bandwagon. If current articles on lung cancer won’t do the trick, maybe respiratory problems will.
Make sure you get tested for lung cancer. In approximately 25% of people with lung cancer, there are no symptoms and the cancer is detected during screening or a routine physical examination. However, in three-quarters of lung cancer patients there are warning symptoms and signs that can alert the patient or their physician.
One of the most amusing things I’ve ever seen is a person smoking through the hole cut out of their throat. Now that’s bright! Obviously some people have a horrible time kicking the habit. However, there is irrefutable evidence linking smoking to serious health afflictions. Any articles on lung cancer, asthma and Bronchitis can inform you of this. We need to work toward a smoke-free environment, because all the rest of us are being assaulted by the second-hand stuff. That’s not right! Kick the habit before it kicks you off the primordial coil.
