how to prevent cancer of the larynx

Prevention of cancer of the larynx
Cancer of the larynx is a malignant tumor that occurs in larynx. The larynx is found in the throat below the pharynx, it is the voice box, that is it contains the vocal cord that makes speech possible. The condition whereby the larynx become cancerous is called laryngeal cancer.

Although this type of cancer is not very common, the US National Institute of Cancer estimate shows that over 10000 people suffer from this type of cancer annually. This release shows that there has been a significant increase in the cancer of the larynx cases in resent years. As such it is rather thoughtful to embark on suitable preventive measures toward the reduction of this dangerous trend.

As a major preventive measure, cancer of the larynx can be prevented by early detection and treatment. Like order form of cancer, the risk associated with cancer of the larynx can be curb by early detection and treatment, hence here are the early symptoms of cancer of the larynx;

Symptoms;
• Persistent cough or sore throat.
• Hoarseness in the voice.
• Difficulty in swallowing.
• Ear pains.
• Lump in the neck or throat.
This symptoms need confirmation from a qualified medical doctor and perhaps a specialist in throat infections to ascertain and confirm those symptoms whether they stem from cancer of the larynx or not.

If physical examination of a patient with such symptoms does not reveal much the following method of diagnosis can be adopted for the early detection of cancer of the larynx;
• The use of laryngoscope.
• CT scan.
• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
• Barium swallow
The early detection and treatment serves as great means of prevention of the fatality tendency of laryngeal cancer.

Besides early detection and treatment of cancer of the larynx which is a good preventive measure, cancer of the larynx can be prevented by avoiding the risk factors associated with this type of cancer and eating cancer friendly diet.

The risk factors include the following;
• Consumption of alcoholic beverages.
• Consumption of Meta.
• tobacco smoking
Recent scientific studies without mincing words has revealed and established a concrete relationship between cancer and diet.
Certain foods the ability to prevent cancer as these foods possesses anti carcinogenic effects.
The following classes of food are excellent in the prevention of cancer of the larynx;
• Fruits; these are very important in the prevention of cancer of the larynx as fruits are stuck with vitamins that help to combat carcinogens in the body.
• Green leafy vegetables; green leafy vegetables are very essential in the prevention of cancer of the larynx. Green leafy vegetables contains anti carcinogens which helps to fight cancer.
• Vegetable oils: vegetable oils are great in it ability to reduce the risk of cancer of the larynx, researches has proven this to be true.
• Antioxidant: vitamins A, C and E are best antioxidants ever known, these vitamins can be gotten through food or obtain from food supplements which are easily available in drug shops

Fortunately some of the essential antioxidants which are good anti carcinogens are readily package and sold as dietary supplements, especial for those that can not take raw fruit. And I strongly recommend the follow dietary supplement;
• Super antioxidant formula
• Super potency megavitee
• Creatine citrus 300g

how to prevent cancer

Cancer is uncontrolled proliferation of cells producing a malignant tumor. It enters surrounding tissues and may cause other tumors of the same type appearing far from the original site. Cancer can lead to death. Before going into the detail on how to prevent cancer, it is important to look at various associated with cancer for better understanding of this write up.
Terms associated with cancer:
Mutagens: these are substances which changes the genetic code of the cells. Mutagens produces mutation. Mutagens sometimes are formed when foods especially meat are fried or roasted.
Carcinogens: substances, food, or other agents that encourages the development of cancer are called carcinogens. The most common carcinogens are tobacco smoke, certain food additives such as nitrites, chemical contaminants such as pesticides, some viruses and molds, and radiation
Anti carcinogens: these are substances or food that neutralizes the action of carcinogens and slow or prevents the development of cancer. Virtually all anti carcinogens are plant-based.

Cancer to a greater percentage can be prevented by reducing the risk factors and by adopting appropriate preventive methods.
Preventing cancer by reducing the risk factors: to prevent cancer avoid the following; cured meat, grilled meat and deep fried meat.
Avoid excess calories from protein or fat sources such as meat, fish, eggs or milk.
Cut down on the consumption of smoked, pickled, salted, or highly spiced foods, to the barest minimum.
Avoid alcoholic beverages, coffee, and tobacco; these when combined increases their carcinogenic effect.
And lastly avoid the consuming very hot foods and beverages.
The rise factors mention above has the single ability to reduce risk of cancer diseases there by indirectly preventing cancer.

Prevent cancer by eating the right food: apart from reducing the risk factors that may lead to cancer, the major means of preventing cancer is by eating the right food. Food that are rich in pro vitamin A and vitamins C and E, dietary fibers, phyto-chemical elements (these are plant-based element that has been found contain anti carcinogens.)

Fruits such as citrus, plums, pineapples, grapes, blackberries, acerolas, guavas, are rich sources of vitamins and contain abundant vitamin C. whole grains are rich sources of dietary fiber its increases bowel movement. It also retains and removes carcinogenic substances that may be in the digestive tract. Vegetables contain pro vitamin A, vitamin C, and antioxidant phyto chemicals. Red beets contains anti carcinogenic phyto chemical. Carrot is a rich source vitamin A. legumes contains anti carcinogenic chemicals and dietary fiber.

Unfortunately most of these vitamins and anti carcinogenic chemicals that helps to prevent cancer that can be easily found in food mentioned above are easily destroyed during food processing especially cooking and at the end the value of the food to the body is reduce as a great percentage of these vitamins and chemicals that prevents cancer is lost.

As such I strongly recommend dietary supplements that can supply these important vitamins and anti carcinogenic chemicals that fights and prevent cancer. These supplements are manufactured from natural products and are so prepared that most of the valuable vitamins and anti carcinogenic elements that prevent cancer are intact.
I recommend the following; creatine citrus 300g, this a rich source of vitamin C, super anti oxidant this contain the important anti carcinogenic elements that help to prevent cancer, super potency megavitee; this is a good source of vitamins A and E and dietary fiber.
