Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and is responsible for about 1 in 6 deaths (more or less 9.6 million deaths in 2018). It is important to adopt a preventive attitude towards the disease. Here are some easy tips to integrate into your daily life:<\/p>\n<p>+ A <strong>regular intake of fresh fruits and vegetables<\/strong> is one of the most protective ways to prevent cancer. On average, a diet composed of at least 400 g of fruits and vegetables per day reduces the risk of cancer by about 20 to 30%.<\/p>\n<p>+ <strong>Avoid cooking at high temperatures<\/strong>. Why? Because fats become toxic at high temperatures (any cooking above 85 \u00b0 Celsius). Food cooked in fat at a high temperature (between 170 and 250 \u00b0 C) increases the risk of breast cancer by up to two times, to a maximum of four.<\/p>\n<p>+ Doing a <strong>regular physical activity<\/strong> (at least 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week) seems to significantly <strong>reduce the risk<\/strong> of colon and breast cancer. For breast cancer, sports may reduce the risk by 30% compared to inactive women (even more so in case of obesity).<\/p>\n<p>+ Find <strong>serenity<\/strong>! The risk of cancer is <strong>20 to 100% higher in anxious people<\/strong>. Some particularly <strong>negative feelings<\/strong> may be likely to promote the appearance of tumors: the feeling of <strong>helplessness <\/strong>over things, anxiety, <strong>loneliness, <\/strong>and <strong>guilt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>+ The main action of water in the prevention of cancer is to <strong>cleanse the body<\/strong> of all the <strong>carcinogens <\/strong>and pro-carcinogens that we absorb in our diet. Drinking enough water could <strong>reduce <\/strong>the risk of getting cancer by <strong>20 to 90% <\/strong>(depending on the type of cancer). It goes without saying that it is best to <strong>avoid caffeinated drinks <\/strong>and <strong>alcohol <\/strong>because they are often associated with a greater risk of cancer.<\/p>\n<p>+ <strong>Screening <\/strong>is a key element. An <strong>early diagnosis<\/strong> (before the appearance of symptoms) <strong>facilitates the treatment<\/strong> and <strong>limits the sequelae<\/strong> related to the treatments used. Screening can even <strong>prevent <\/strong>the <strong>development of cancer<\/strong> by identifying and treating an abnormality that may have progressed to cancer. In order to adapt your hormonal and nutritional treatment, I\u00a0recommend to my patients to do <strong>genetic tests<\/strong> for breast and prostate cancer screening.<\/p>\n<p>There is always a great chance of recovery if cancer is caught on time. With improved treatment and a preventive attitude, it would be possible to cure three out of four patients by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>A little extra, find the list of nutrients to remember, which can support your metabolism and have anti-inflammatory virtues.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hertoghe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cancernutri_EN.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3616 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hertoghe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cancernutri_EN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"796\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hertoghe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cancernutri_EN.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.hertoghe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cancernutri_EN-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hertoghe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cancernutri_EN-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hertoghe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cancernutri_EN-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">The opinion of our Doctors<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hertoghe.eu\/en\/team\/dr-marc-naett\/\">Dr. Marc Naett\u00a0<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hertoghe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dr-Naett-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3631 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hertoghe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dr-Naett-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"101\" height=\"101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hertoghe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dr-Naett-1.png 223w, https:\/\/www.hertoghe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dr-Naett-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.hertoghe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dr-Naett-1-45x45.png 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 101px) 100vw, 101px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today, <strong>breast cancer<\/strong> must be considered as the consequence of a <strong>chronic biological imbalance<\/strong> or a <strong>persistent inflammation<\/strong>.

A typical example being bronchial cancer and colon cancer. It is therefore essential to avoid any chronic inflammation of the body.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first steps is to <strong>improve your diet<\/strong> by <strong>removing any toxic food:<\/strong>\u00a0like burned fat,\u00a0alcohol and tobacco. Ideally, you should <strong>follow the Paleolithic diet<\/strong>. <strong>Omega-3<\/strong> also\u00a0has an anti-inflammatory effect.<\/p>\n<p>From a<strong> hormonal point of view,<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>cortisol<\/strong> has an <strong>anti-inflammatory effect<\/strong>\u00a0and even more synthetic corticosteroids such as <strong>prednisolone <\/strong>and <strong>methylprednisolone<\/strong>. A study realized with our patients in the clinic also showed a lower incidence of cancer than in the general population.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>growth hormone and IGF-1 deficiency<\/strong>\u00a0can <strong>increase the risk of cancer<\/strong>.
