Document Summary
A healthy cancer prevention diet included fibre (to enhance transit time), fruits, and vegetables (for antioxidants). You should avoid excessive fat (may have carcinogens), smoked meats (nitrites and nitrates), and too much alcohol: exercise. Moderate exercise enhances your immune system: vaccination. Worldwide, cervical cancer is the second most common form in cancer in women and the human papillomavirus (hpv, versions 16 and 18) is the cause of cervical cancer. Hpv invades successfully because our immune system does not recognize them. Hpv invades the epidermal lining of the vagina. These cells are already preprogrammed to die and thus do not pose a threat" to the immune system. Programs are being instituted to vaccinate women before the age of 12 but the vaccine is recommended up to the age of 26. It is also being recommended for males to reduce the skin-to-skin transmission. There are two major types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.
