Question

PLEASE HELP ME ILL GIVE POINTS!!!

Although some risk factors for cancer are beyond a person’s control, there are a great many factors that a person does have some control over. People make choices every day about what to eat and drink and whether to exercise or “veg out” in front of a computer screen. So why don’t people do more to prevent cancer? What do you think?

Why don’t more people take better care of their health? Do they not know what to do? Do they know and not care? What would persuade more people to take steps to prevent cancer? How could cancer-prevention education be improved?

Take a few minutes to think about the lifestyle choices that you and the people you know make every day and how those choices relate to minimizing cancer risk. Then go to the next discussion assignment in this course and post your answer to the questions above. Be sure to provide reasons and examples to support your answer.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

People frequently prioritize instant gratification, convenience, and experience over their short- and long-term health. We don't trust that the process will genuinely lead us to a happier, more satisfying place, which is one of the underlying reasons we reject our own health and well-being.

In order to persuade humans to take better care of their health, we must raise more awareness of the long term effects bad habits may cause. For instance, obesity raises the risk of cancer in a variety of ways. One of the most common ways is that being overweight leads the body to produce and circulate more estrogen and insulin, hormones that promote cancer growth.

As terrifying as it can sound, we should educate others on the more dangerous side effects, this may shock some people and can possibly have people start taking more care of their health. As someone who is already aware of the risks and dangers of having bad health, I choose to take care of myself in various of ways. Getting enough sleep, eating healthy, staying active are just a few ways to stay healthy.
