If changing lifestyle habits can prevent the development of cancer,
That's right.. I need to change my habits...
I hate people who smoke the most, haha.
There are no smokers in either house...
I hope my son lives well and doesn't smoke.
And it would be good to exercise and manage your weight to prevent obesity as much as possible.
Of course... As a cancer patient...
I didn't smoke, nor was I obese... It wasn't genetic either, so why did I get it... When I think about it
I think the cause was probably the extreme stress of the past 3-4 years~
This is the younger sibling of a company junior who conducted related research at KAIST, but
If stress is not truly relieved and accumulates, substances that lead to cancer are not expelled and instead build up.
They say it has spread due to cancer...)
Anyway~~~~
Stay healthy!! Let's try our best so you won't have any regrets!

Research has shown that more than four out of ten adult cancer cases and related deaths can be prevented through lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking and losing weight.
According to a research report published by the American Cancer Society on the 11th (local time), 40% of cancer cases and about half of cancer-related deaths among adults aged 30 and over in the United States are attributed to preventable risk factors rather than genetic or environmental factors that are difficult to overcome. Preventable risk factors include smoking, obesity, and alcohol consumption. Most of these are factors that can be eliminated through lifestyle habit improvements.

This study analyzed the association between 18 risk factors that lead to cancer development and death, along with the cases of cancer and related deaths among adults aged 30 and over in the United States in 2019. In 2019, there were 1.78 million new cancer cases and 595,700 cancer-related deaths among adults aged 30 and above in the U.S. The study found that 40% of the cancer cases, totaling 713,300, and 44% of the deaths, amounting to 262,100, were related to preventable risk factors. This indicates that smoking, obesity, and alcohol consumption are strongly associated with cancer development and mortality. If individuals quit smoking, managed their weight, reduced alcohol intake, and exercised, they could significantly lower their risk of developing cancer.
Dual smoking (28.5%) showed the strongest correlation with cancer incidence and mortality. Excessive obesity (7.3%), alcohol consumption (4.1%), lack of exercise (2.5%), and low intake of fruits and vegetables (1.5%) followed. Sun exposure (1.3%) and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection (1.2%) were also found to be associated with cancer-related deaths.
Dr. Arif Kamal, the chief patient officer of the Cancer Association, advised, "Most people can improve things in their daily lives," and added, "While cancer development is often considered to be due to bad luck or genetic factors, there are many aspects that individuals can control themselves."
