1. Not managing your stress

You haven’t really thought of that… did you? But yes, stress plays a significant role in cancer development. Your body’s natural response to daily stress factors can increase the chances of developing cancer. Things like increased blood pressure, elevated blood sugar levels, and rapid heart rate can lead to cancer.

Plus, most people tend to smoke, drink and overeat when facing stressful periods of time. All of these can also maximize your risk of cancer.

2. Forgetting to floss

It might seem strange to you, but skipping out on flossing can lead to cancer in time. Brushing properly, flossing, and using a mouthwash recommended by your dentist are crucial activities in order to stay healthy. Don’t believe us? Well, a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute can confirm that.

The study found that gum disease (which may happen if you’re not taking good care of your mouth) is strongly associated with a 24 percent higher risk of developing both colorectal and lung cancer. For better oral hygiene, we recommend using an electric toothbrush.
