#1 Electronic Devices
Cell phones emit radio frequency energy. Research suggests that they could&nbsp;increase the risk of cancer by reducing melatonin levels&nbsp;in the body.
#2 Alcohol
Alcohol increases your risk of various cancers, like cancers of the mouth, throat, larynx, liver and breast. It's&nbsp;worse for alcohol consumers who are smokers.
#3 Scented candles
Though they seem perfectly harmless, scented candles burnt indoors can release a large number of&nbsp;volatile organic compounds known to be bladder carcinogens.
#4 Sitting too much
Sedentary behaviour such as sitting or lying down for long periods can drastically&nbsp;increase your risk of cancer, especially colon and endometrial cancer,&nbsp;say studies.
#5 High temperature cooking
When food is cooked at high temperatures, or cooked and grilled on an open flame, heterocyclic amines or HCAs are formed. These&nbsp;can cause tumours of the colon, liver, skin and even lungs,&nbsp;says NIH.

World Cancer Day 2021: From healthcare to education, social institutions and the entertainment industry, the pandemic has ushered in a new normal.  

World Cancer Day 2021: How Covid-19 has impacted the global fight against cancer 

4th of February is marked as World Cancer Day, and a global pandemic is making it much harder to deal with the disease. Take a look at&nbsp;how&nbsp;Covid-19&nbsp;has&nbsp;impacted the global fight against cancer.

How Covid-19 has impacted the global fight against cancer 

The deadly Covid-19 pandemic is a nightmare&nbsp;the world is yet to get over with. It has altered systems, processes and functions across the globe in ways we could never have imagined.&nbsp;&nbsp;
From healthcare to education, social institutions and&nbsp;the entertainment industry, the pandemic has ushered in a new normal.&nbsp;&nbsp;
One aspect that requires considerable attention is the impact of the pandemic on cancer and cancer care.&nbsp;The burden of the pandemic on healthcare systems across&nbsp;the&nbsp;globe has majorly impacted the global fight against cancer.&nbsp;
According to a study published in the journal Nature,&nbsp;people suffering from cancer could be more&nbsp;vulnerable to worse outcomes including requiring ventilator support.&nbsp;Penn Medicine shares that cancer patients in active treatment could be at a higher risk of contracting Covid-19&nbsp;as the their body&rsquo;s white blood cells, which fight infection, are low or do not function at their best.&nbsp;
Patients&nbsp;are also wary of getting themselves checked at&nbsp;healthcare centres that are considered to be &lsquo;high-risk&rsquo; zones.&nbsp;This is leading to a delay in diagnosis. Screening programs too have been restricted to a few centres only and suspended in several places to prioritise treatment for Covid-19.&nbsp;
According to a study in The Lancet, the pandemic could also&nbsp;worsen&nbsp;pre-existing disparities among people with cancer&nbsp;in terms of access to treatment and care.
The fight against the pandemic seems to be a long and uncertain one. Those suffering from cancer must take additional precautions to safeguard themselves from the deadly virus.&nbsp;

World Cancer Day 2021: Cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli contain sulforaphane compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties.

World Cancer Day 2021: Foods that may help fight cancer

The American Cancer Society recommends that you eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily.&nbsp;Some foods do have cancer-fighting properties, though experts haven't been able to confirm that they can prevent or treat cancer.&nbsp;But, research does show that the right kind of nutrition matters.&nbsp;
According to Cancer Research UK,&nbsp; lab studies have shown that&nbsp;curcumin in turmeric&nbsp;has anti cancer effects. It seems to kill cancer cells and prevent more from growing.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Cruciferous vegetables&nbsp;such as&nbsp;cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli contain sulforaphane compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties, as per America's National Cancer Institute. Experiments with animals have been positive, however, studies in humans have shown mixed results.
According to a 2011 study by&nbsp;The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center,&nbsp;fish oil and fish&nbsp;contain omega 3 fatty acids which appear to stop or slow down the growth and development of breast cancer cells in laboratory studies of mice and breast cancer cells.&nbsp;
Garlic&nbsp;battles bacteria. Its sulfur-containing compounds have a protective effect, say experts from the American Cancer Society.&nbsp;The World Health Organisation recommends that adults consume at least one clove of garlic daily to promote good health.
In laboratory tests,&nbsp;lycopene in tomatoes&nbsp;has stopped breast and lung cancer cells from growing.&nbsp;Researchers speculate that lycopene protects cells from damage by boosting the immune system. It may stop the growth of tumours by interfering with abnormal cell growth, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research.
Spinach&nbsp;is rich in lutein and carotenoids that may help remove unstable free radicals from your body before they damage it. A study of more than 490,000 people led by the National Institutes of Health in the United Stated found that those who ate more spinach were less likely to develop esophageal cancer.
"It is not 100% certain that consuming more or less of certain foods or nutrients will guarantee cancer protection," clarifies Dr. Edward Giovannucci of Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health. You must consult a medical expert before making any changes to your diet.&nbsp;
