Food habits and cancer prevention

Physical activity, healthy nutrition and lack of stress are the three most important components of health. Inadequate levels of physical activity, obesity, unhealthy diet and chronic stress (e.g. tobacco, excessive alcohol and other harmful physical, chemical, biological, psychological and social stress) can induce an unhealthy and unhappy life that leads to chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, cancer and Alzheimer's and to premature death. The mechanisms are generally thought to involve increased oxidative stress, inflammation, epigenetic changes and metabolic changes.
