Oral cancer is one of the biggest causes of death to many individuals all over the country. This form of cancer attacks either the mouth or throat, and it is twice as likely to occur in men as in women. Within this year, over 40,000 will be diagnosed and out of that over 10,000 will pass away. These numbers are very alarming and need to be addressed to all individuals. Yet, there are ways to prevent yourself from developing oral cancer by following these simple solutions listed below. 1. Do not use tobacco in any form. Either continue to stay smoke-free or try to quit immediately. 2. Limit your alcohol intake daily. No more than 1 drink per day for women or 2 drinks per day for men. 3. Limit your time in the sun, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun is the strongest. 4. Make sure to wear lip balm with SPF 30 or higher to prevent any burns or blisters. 5. Eat a well-balanced diet filled with lots of fruits and vegetables! Source: www.preventcancer.org
