Cancer the biggest killer in 2010 and will, despite all medical advances and prevention take it over from cardiovascular disease.

In recent years, many deaths are from one form of cancer. Three out of ten deaths are due to cancer. Nearly one quarter of all cancer deaths caused by lung cancer. On the second and third place colon cancer and breastcancer.

The total number of deaths from cancer increased year after year. However, looking into account the size and age composition over the last few years appears to be a decreasing chance of dying from cancer.

The death rate of men increases faster than women. This is mainly due to changes in smoking behavior. When men stopped smoking several decades ago, just more women began to smoke. The past ten years, the risk of dying from lung cancer among women thus vastly increased.

But in general of the ten most common forms of cancer, esophageal cancer only increased the risk of death. The risk of dying this is exacerbated by alcohol consumption and smoking.

Nutrition is an important part of total care for people with cancer. Most tumors cause metabolic changes that cause the body burns more energy than normal.

Also concerned nausea or difficulty swallowing for reduced food intake. Thus people with cancer lose weight, which condition and resistance decrease and increase fatigue and lethargy.

Appropriate diet can help to keep weight and thus in shap. Nutrition can also take care of preventing cancer

Approximately 50 to 70 percent of people who die from cancer, had an unhealthy lifestyle a major role in causing the disease. With a healthy lifestyle you can reduce the risk of cancer.

But a way of life that provide cancer occurs, there is unfortunately no. Besides construction or lifestyle may play a coincidence. Someone who has always lived healthy, can still get cancer. And conversely, someone who has always smoked, age in cancer.

Women who exercise regularly, have 20 to 40 percent lower risk of breast cancer. Each additional hour of physical exercise each week would return the risk 3 to 8 percent.
There is a link between exercise and various forms of cancer. In one report, researchers try to draw conclusions from existing research. For breast cancer was related to movement to adopt other forms of cancer was difficult.

For colon cancer, there are indications that this disease is less prevalent in people who exercise regularly, but there is no hard evidence. The same goes for uterine cancer.

Seeking an explanation for the relationship between exercise and cancer, does the report of sex hormones and insulin levels. Research has shown that girls who intense exercise menstruate irregularly. Consequently, they are less exposed to the hormone estrogen. Sex hormones may promote the growth of tumor cells. Women after menopause reduces the concentration of various motion sex hormones in the blood.

A lack of physical activity and obesity can lead to high insulin levels in the blood. This may be help the development of cancer.
