The Dhaka Times Desk Unhealthy lifestyle increases the risk of cancer to a great extent. However, a recent study suggests that certain daily habits can reduce the risk of cancer.
The number of cancer patients is increasing day by day. Cancer is spreading to more and more people every day. An information from the 'Indian Council of Medical Research' says that thousands of people die of cancer every day. Also, the age range of cancer patients is also decreasing. The risk of cancer is increasing day by day even among young people.
Weight should be controlled
Weight control is important to reduce the risk of cancer. Being overweight increases the risk of cancer. To reduce that risk, exercise regularly. It is not possible to lose weight without exercise. Obesity can increase the risk of breast, colon and even stomach cancer.
Balanced diet
It is important to pay attention to what you eat and drink to reduce the risk of cancer. Apart from eating outside food, eat more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits contain anti-oxidants, which kill cancer cells.
Increase resistance
It also requires strength to fight disease. A weakened immune system increases the risk of deadly diseases such as cancer. Just because of cancer, if the immune system is low, any disease can attack the body. It is important to exercise regularly to increase immunity. Also you need to eat healthy food.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
