Top ways to prevent cancer

Cancer is an abnormal division of cells where the cells divide hysterically in some part of the body and spread to other tissues surrounding them.

Human body is composed of trillions of cells and their wear and tear persists since the day that we’re born. When cells become old, they die and new cells take their place, in the normal process of our body. But, during cancer, old cells do not die and new cells still generate, increasing the cell-count abnormally. Cancer can be found anywhere in human body and thus there are abundant types of cancer. And the most prevailing type of cancer these days is Lung cancer.
