2. Intestinal cancer

Eat more vegetables and less meat

Eating more meat increase the burden on the stomach. This in turn reduces the speed of gastrointestinal motility. Furthermore, it slow down the decomposition of food, and  food will stay in the intestines for longer period of time then usual. All this contribute to difficulty in defecation, accumulation of toxins in the body, and increased risk of intestinal cancer.

To prevent bowel cancer, it is best to eat more fruits and vegetables. Keep healthy bowel movement and adopt healthy eating habits to cure constipation.

So, avoid these bad habits to reduce the risk of oral cancer.

4. Lung cancer
