Listen, as Dr. Marchese shares three ways a woman can decrease her risk for cancer.
Dr. Marchese:
In terms of preventative medicine in decreasing cancer risk, there’s many ways to avoid environmental toxins, and people often get overwhelmed and become a little paranoid about the environment, and so I like to break it down and make it really simple for people. If people ask me what are maybe three things they can do to help decrease their cancer risk, in terms of chemicals or toxins in the environment, I would say don’t smoke cigarettes or don’t be around secondhand cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke is really just full of environmental toxins: there’s three heavy metals in it, there’s solvents in it, polyaromatic hydrocarbons.
The other thing would be to decrease alcohol intake or actually eliminate alcohol intake altogether, especially for women and hormonally driven cancers like breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and then probably the third thing would be eating only organic meat and dairy products and organic fruits and vegetables, and a lot of this has to do with the pesticides that are applied to our crops or that are in our grains, which then we get in the food that we eat.
