Let me try and explain why cancers happen and why anyone reading this Tweet can have Cancer BUT you can lower your risk. Let's start with What happens in the normal body. Everyday you are alive, your cells are dividing and performing functions. every part of your body is made of cells with different roles. The body has a clock , every cell has a born date and has a destruction date. there are 2 ways the body destroy cells. One way is When it is time, the body tells cells...IT IS TIME. You need to die. There are some soldiers that go and destroy these cells that are worn out, some cells die themselves because it is time. A process called APOPTOSIS. The body just like every machine can make mistakes, while dividing some cells might have abnormal parts or missing parts, BUT It has a Checkpoint. Any cells that are abnormal don't pass this gate. right there... BOOOM. The body destroys them. You don't want abnormal cells DIVIDING BUT CANCER Same cells, but when it is time to die, they don't die, these cells become like Methuselah, omnipotent. they are living forever. Some funny things about them, if normal cells are dividing at a rate of 1, cancer cells are diving at a rate of 1 million. if 1 cells can divide to 10, cancer cells can divide to 1 billion. For every cell there is a gate, so you don't enter into another cell. Cancer cells are like those boys driving Lexus ES 350 2009, they crash into everyone. something called METASTASIS Cancer cells get so powerful, they dodge the soldiers, the body is trying to kill them. they are too powerful, too much, traveling at a speed of light. BUT WHY DO CANCER CELLS happen? from everything explained you will see anything that can damage cells can increase these cells from behaving abnormal - From problem of the body itself, radiation, family history, some substances can directly cause the cells to cancer eg Asbestos used in Roof- Lung Cancer, smoking- lung and more, alcohol- liver cancer etc we also know there are some viruses, bacteria etc that can make cells turn to cancer eg HIV- Many cancers H pylori- Cancer of the stomach HPV- Cancer of the cervix, penis, oesophagus, throat and more.... so in summary you can see why anyone can have cancer, which are abnormal cells dividing abnormally and can travel distance anywhere.... But how do I reduce my risk of cANCER? I will be dropping part 2 Please do share , repost, I will be glad to take questions. Thanks
