Is Cancer a type of Infection??

Infection is defined as colonization of our body by organism alien to our body. If the definition is applied in total sense then yes, ‘CANCER IS A TYPE OF INFECTION’.  

Human body is made up of various types of cells. Out of these, Nerve cells and Muscle cells do not divide or multiply. Liver cells do not divide in normal case but can be stimulated to divide. The cells which constantly divide and that too with astonishingly high speed are skin cells, epithelial cells, sperm cells and bone marrow cells. One can be surprised to note that in our body, nearly 2 trillion cell-divisions occur every day. 

When all is well, nearly all these divisions take place in orderly manner and life goes on. The number is very large and a few of these divisions do not take place properly, something similar to rejection on assembly line in a factory.   These cells which are called cancer cells do not follow regular and defined pattern of division and they become alien to our body and start causing problems by colonizing and forming lumps or tumors. Thankfully, this factory called human body is prepared and ready for all eventualities. We have cells in the body which immediately notice these cells which have gone wayward and kill those. These soldier cells in our body treat these cancer cells as outsiders, as invaders and kill them. That is why I feel, considering cancer as infection can be correct.

These solider cells are part of our defense system which is called immunity. This immunity also has its limitations. Sometimes, this system can be overwhelmed by alien attack and we fall sick. The same applies to attack of cancer cells.  The most basic and obvious thing to do is to keep our immune system in perfect condition. This will not only help in minimizing danger of cancer but will also help in having healthy disease free life.

1.       Adopt life style and diet  which will boost body immunity

2.       Avoid unhealthy habits and diet which can be stressful to body

3.       Stay away from infections so that immunity is conserved to fight cancer

Adopt: Green Tea, Chilies, Ginger, Garlic, Turmeric, Tomatoes, Colorful fruits and vegetables and light and well balanced diet containing all vitamins and micronutrients. Drink lots of water, get enough sleep, and do regular exercises.

Avoid: Smoking, tobacco in all forms, alcohol, heavy food, and obesity. Avoid all substances likely to be carcinogenic.

Stay away from: All infections and STD by maintaining complete cleanliness, and clean environment.

It is simple, is it not? 
If you know what you are fighting, then fight can be a game.

APART FROM THIS, HEALTHY BODY IS DOMAIN OF HEALTHY MIND!

Enjoy Happy Healthy Life!

·         Indian spices mainly, Ginger, garlic, chilies, turmeric are useful in boosting immunity. There is scientific study which has conclusively proved that Indian diet, mainly vegetarian diet helps in developing resistance to cancer by increasing body immunity. This fact is noted that first generation of Indian immigrants to USA have same lower rate of cancer incidence as that of India but the second generation of Indian immigrants have much higher rate of cancer incidence nearly matching western world.
