If you sit a lot every day, then, for example, the risk of developing a tumor in the genitourinary organs increases. In addition, there are tumors that are small in size, but at the same time quite aggressive and prone to early metastasis. The fact is that there is stagnation of blood circulation in the pelvis. As a result, cells experiencing oxygen starvation begin to change and acquire new functions.
“Which is the impetus for the tumor to start growing,” explained the urological oncologist.
Additionally, the risk of disease increases with a large amount of animal fats in the diet. We are talking about the habitual consumption of meat, fats, fatty fish, fried foods, milk and fermented meats, products rich in fat, smoked foods and salty foods.

Avoid smoking and contact with tobacco smoke, prolonged exposure to the sun, stressful situations and learn to manage your emotions, take care of intimate hygiene and dental health, all of this is important to minimize the risk of developing cancer, the doctor emphasized. .
