What exactly is cancer?
You know, last year about 96 lakh people died due to cancer in the whole world and about 8 lakh people in India. So when you and I were celebrating our new year, about 96 lakh people in the world could not see this new year just because of cancer. One more thing, do you know that we all already have cancer cells in our body? But then why don't we all get cancer? So because of hearing the name of cancer around us so many times
there are many questions about it that come in our mind like what is cancer, how is it and what should we stay away from to avoid it. So if you also want to increase your knowledge about cancer, then watch this video. did you play? So before knowing about cancer, let us get to know our body a little bit first. So in our whole body, these cells keep growing by dividing and filling the shortage of old dead cells, then all of us have changed from one cell to so many tough humans due to the continuous division of these cells. .
The DNA present inside the cells guides these cells of our what to do and how to do them. DNA is a kind of software of our cells, inside which all the information is present and the DNA determines when our cells divide, do not exist, but sometimes due to any change or mistake in DNA. becomes a bad cell. Which we also call cancer cell.
These cancer cells do not do their job properly and keep growing without need. Many such mistakes keep happening in our body every day and these bad cells keep on being made. And that's why we say that we all have these cancer cells inside. But these bad cells do not turn into cancer because our body catches these mistakes and they are corrected there.
But when our body is not able to stop the growth of these bad cells, then these bad cells collect and take the form of cancer. Because these cancer cells do not do their job properly and keep growing unnecessarily. In whichever organ it starts forming, the work done in that organ stops. And due to the stoppage of the work of a single organ, our whole body gets in trouble. Initially, these cancer cells gather in one place and form a bunch. Which we also call tumor. And the cancer in between is called primary stage cancer, but when these cancer cells spread throughout the body through blood, then this stage is called secondary stage cancer.
And it becomes even more difficult to cure the patient of this stage. . And the highest number of cancer cases in the world are found in lung cancer and breast cancer. It is true that a defect in DNA can come at any time. So these defects increase even more. Like we take the example of typing, whenever we type with the keyboard, there are always chances of making mistakes but if we are sick, or we are tired, or sleepy, then these mistakes increase even more.
So in the same way, there are many such factors due to which changes can happen in our DNA and we can get cancer. At the top of these comes the use of tobacco. And according to WHO, 22% of people who die of cancer die due to tobacco use. By the way, if you want to know what happens in a cigarette due to which we can get cancer, then you can watch that video by clicking here. So tobacco use, alcohol consumption, poor diet, in which the amount of fruits and vegetables is low, physical activity i.e. lack of exercise comes among the four major causes of cancer. Also, some viruses and infections caused by bacteria can also cause cancer, such as HPV or Hepatitis B Virus.
Some radiations are also so strong that they can change the DNA of our cells, due to coaching, we get cancer, the biggest example of this is UV light. As our age increases, the chances of cancer also increase because it has been seen that as we get older, our ability to heal the problems inside us decreases, so according to statistics, about 30 to 50% of cancers in the world. Cases can be reduced only by correcting your habits. By the way, more than half of the diseases are caused by our own way of living, we have to put chemicals inside us, eat bad food, do not exercise, but we do not want any disease and we do not want cancer either. This is not possible!
