Cancer prevention begins with making small but powerful changes to your lifestyle. Research from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that up to 50% of cancers can be prevented by adopting healthy habits and avoiding risk factors. At Bali International Hospital, we’re here to support your journey toward a healthier, cancer-free future.


Build These Cancer-Prevention Habits


1. Schedule Regular Check-Ups:

Preventive health screenings are vital for early detection. Regular cancer screenings, like mammograms, Pap smears, and colonoscopies, can catch abnormalities before they become life-threatening. Early intervention gives you the best chance of successful treatment.


- Tip: Make health check-ups a routine, not a reaction. Set reminders and discuss risk factors with your doctor.


2. Maintain a Balanced Diet:

What you eat plays a key role in cancer prevention. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins boosts your immune system and helps prevent cancers linked to obesity and inflammation.


- Key Foods: Broccoli, berries, nuts, garlic, and green tea contain cancer-fighting nutrients. Avoid processed meats, sugary drinks, and excessive alcohol.


3. Reduce Stress Levels:

Chronic stress affects your body’s immune response, making it harder to fight off illnesses, including cancer. Managing stress through healthy coping mechanisms is a critical part of prevention.


- Ideas: Try yoga, meditation, deep-breathing exercises, or hobbies that bring joy. Regular physical activity also reduces stress and improves overall health.



Why These Habits Matter


A study by Ligibel JA, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, emphasized that a combination of regular screenings, a nutritious diet, and stress management significantly reduces the risk of cancers such as breast, colorectal, and prostate. These habits empower individuals to take control of their health and focus on prevention rather than cure.


Ligibel’s study highlights the importance of integrating aerobic and resistance exercise, tailored dietary plans, and intentional weight management as pivotal strategies for cancer prevention and management. This research underscores how lifestyle adjustments can play a crucial role in minimizing cancer risks and enhancing overall well-being.
