CANBERRA Cheap Oakland Athletics Jersey , Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- Adopting healthy behaviors can cut a person's risk of developing cancer by a third, the chief of Cancer Australia has said.
Ahead of the World Cancer Day on Feb. 4, Cancer Australia Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Helen Zorbas offered Australians advice on how to reduce their cancer risk.
She said that quitting smoking and reducing consumption of alcohol and red meat were the best things a person could do to avoid cancer.
Cancer is the most burdensome disease in Australia measured by the impact of premature death and living with illness andor injury.
The Cancer Council of Australia says that one in every two Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85 with 134,000 new cases expected in 2018.
Despite more people dying from cancer than ever before, the number of deaths per 100,000 people attributed to cancer has dropped 24 percent.
The number of smokers in Australia has also dropped Cheap New York Yankees Jersey , Zorbas said, but it remains the biggest cancer risk factor.
"In Australia, the proportion of adults who smoke daily has steadily decreased from 22 percent in 2001 to under 15 percent in 2014-15, which is lower than comparable countries such as Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom," Zorbas said in a statement on Friday.
"However Cheap New York Mets Jersey , smoking still directly contributes to more than 13 percent of all cancers in Australia, including cervical, bowel, stomach, pancreas and lung cancers, and causes almost a quarter of all cancer deaths.
"While quitting smoking can be a challenge for people Cheap Minnesota Twins Jersey , it is vital in reducing cancer risk," she noted.
Alcohol consumption and Australia's obesity epidemic were identified as other major risk factors.
"Australians' overall alcohol consumption has fallen markedly since it peaked in the early 1970s, but it is still high when compared to other Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. In 2013, alcohol contributed to almost 3,500 cancers in Australia, including breast Cheap Milwaukee Brewers Jersey , esophageal and liver cancers," Zorbas said.
"Around 1 in 20 cancers in Australia are associated with overweight or obesity, yet, critically, 28 percent of our adult population is classified as obese, which compares poorly with many other OECD nations."

If you have been a snorer for many years Cheap Los Angeles Dodgers Jersey , and not been able to overcome the situation, here is some great news. The range of devices on the market to help you to stop snoring is growing, and some of them actually work.
The manufacturers of these products have been doing a lot of research and development to provide a product that will provide relief to sleep apnea and snoring sufferers. The products used can be quite similar, or even the same for a number of sleep disorders. But first, it is important to try to find out when you snore, and alleviate or reduce that part of the condition.
An example would be this. Many folks snore only when they lie on their backs at night. They tend to breathe through their mouths in that position. It’s a common problem. So a snoring device that can keep you on your side or ensure you breathe through your nose is a great idea.
The snoring pillow is a shaped pillow constructed of memory foam that encourages the snorer to adopt the profile of a side sleeper and not to roll over onto their backs during the night. This is not that hard to do Cheap Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Jersey , and these pillows work really nicely for those of us that only really snore on our backs. The pillow also extends the neck slightly and may also hold the bottom jaw in a slight forward position, to ensure the airway is kept clear.
For the mouth breathers amongst us, the snoring chin strap is a great invention. A head harness with a chin cup that will keep the mouth closed at night can work really well. Just be sure that you are not suffering from nasal congestion, as you’ll have a bit of a time of it if you can’t open your mouth or breathe through your nose.
These two simple devices can really help a snorer. Check them out online.
I have been a snorer for many years and recently found great relief with the use of Snoring Aids, and in particular, the sleep apnea mouthpiece Cheap Kansas City Royals Jersey , a device that fits in the mouth and keeps the airway clear. It may work for you too. Read my reviews via these links.
