breathing
sleeping
um... i think thats all we've got!! :\
everything COULD cause cancer, but not everything does.
i say ignore it cause you can't change the way your life will end so take a risk and drink that bottle of water exposed to sunlight every once in a while! ( i don't dare wonder what happens in summer..)
in my opinoin i think that we really dont know for a fact what exactly causes cancer- so therefore to resolve the problem EVERYTHING causes cancer. agreed?
exercise and massage doesn't cause cancer
Years ago I had a friend who had a very wise father. He was fond of saying that if you took a bunch of rats to the beach, and every day you pounded sand up the rat's... er... behind... eventually all of the rats would get rectal cancer and the powers that be would ban beaches.
I've never found cause to argue with that view.
Your best bet...don't smoke, eat a variety of foods with many fruits and veggies, maintain a healthy weight, control your stress. In my experience as an oncology nurse, genetics are a big part of it too. Many of our cancer patients have had many family members with cancer too. It is especially important for those people to have yearly physicals with cancer screening tests as recommended by their doctor. I know what you mean though. You wouldn't believe all the young people I see with cancer. It is overwhelming sometimes.
actually getting alot of sunlight is good for you the vitamin Dif your a women I would say (my mom learned this and told me) have kids before your 30 breastfeed lots of exercise get outside alot and etc.
Nobody knows what causes cancer; smoking has been linked to lung cancer and excessive sun exposure to skin cancers, but other than that we're still pretty much in the dark as to its causes.
Rumours and misinformation abound though; for example, water bottles exposed to sun for lengthy periods - that is a myth and the widespread belief that it causes breast cancer is down to a hoax email that was widely circulated last year. The senders of the email claimed it was proven by research at Johns Hopkins; JH denied it and dismissed the rumour as nonsense.
Fact is, cancer is a cruel and random disease that can strike any of us at any time. Some people who have not had or studied it will claim it is caused by lifestyle factors like bad diet, lack of exercise etc, or repeat myths about water bottles, deodorants etc; that's because it is less frightening for them to invent or repeat things like that than it would be to accept that they are as much at risk as anybody else.
Treat any stories you hear about what causes cancer with extreme scepicism.
Well that answer hasn't been discovered but if you want an example:
Moving (in certain places), blinking, sleeping (not for too long). ect.
