When you're young and healthy, it's easy to feel like cancer is something vague and far away, but it's never far away.

Cancer doesn't develop overnight.
It is correct to say that preparations for cancer development are already underway in our bodies.
However, if you maintain your health and develop lifestyle habits that help prevent cancer, cancer will bow its head on its own.

Some people raise concerns that “eating a lot of soy can cause breast cancer.”
This is because the isoflavones in soybeans have a structure similar to the female hormone estrogen, but research shows that this is not true.
It is claimed that the isoflavones in soybeans act as pro-estrogen or anti-estrogen depending on the situation, supplementing estrogen in postmenopausal women and, conversely, suppressing excessive estrogen action in premenopausal women, thereby reducing the incidence of breast cancer.

Consuming good fats ultimately increases our HDL cholesterol levels. HDL, also known as "good cholesterol," transports unnecessary cholesterol from the body to the liver for excretion.
Studies have shown that higher HDL levels are associated with a reduced risk of several diseases, including breast cancer.

Studies have shown that the risk of lung cancer is reduced by more than half after 10 years of quitting smoking, and regular exercise is also known to be effective in preventing colon and breast cancer.
Additionally, early detection of cancer through regular health checkups can significantly improve treatment outcomes.

Until the early 20th century, lung cancer was a relatively rare cancer.
However, starting in the mid-1900s, the incidence of lung cancer began to rise rapidly in the United States and some European countries, and later increased in women as well.
Medical experts have pointed to two reasons for this change.
One is the serious air pollution in large cities, and the other is the rapid increase in the smoking population.

Although cancer has no obvious symptoms in its early stages, it still sends out small signals from our bodies.
If you continue to feel mildly tired or lose weight without any reason, you may experience unusual discomfort or small lumps on your body.
Most people dismiss this as a mild symptom that will get better over time, but being complacent and thinking, "Surely not," can make the illness worse.
When you feel that something is different from usual in your body, the most important thing is not to just ignore it.
