As
we know, liver cancer is most of the time caused by
Hepatitis. Hepatitis is a liver disease. Two types of
this disease are Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, caused
by viruses which are small "germs".
Hepatitis
B & C is spread through the transfer of blood. For
example, when a person receives blood from another person
who has Hepatitis B or C, this person will get the disease.
To prevent getting Hepatitis B, it is important to get
an immunization. However, we cannot get an immunization
for Hepatitis C.
Therefore,
we should avoid tattoo, body piercing and needle use
unless in a clinic setting.

Smoking
and drinking alcohol increases the chance of liver cancer.
Therefore, to prevent liver cancer, we should not take
up the habit of smoking or drinking alcohol.
For
males who drink alcohol, they should try not to have
more than 2 drinks a day. For females who drink alcohol,
they should try not to drink more than one mug a day.

| Vitamins
C pills and Vitamin E pills are also antioxidants. However,
it is still better to take fruits and vegetables because
some pills may cause harm to us.
Most
importantly, we need to have at least 8 hours of sleep
everyday and do exercises regularly. |
