25 Things You Probably Didn’t Realize Can Cause Cancer

11. Not drinking enough water

If you want your internal organs to function properly, drink plenty of water daily. Water consumption is responsible for many things in the body like regulating your body temperature, protecting your tissues, helping excrete waste, maximizing physical performance, preventing constipation, improving blood oxygen circulation, and boosting mood.

Failing to drink plenty of water could lead to bladder cancer. Carry a bottle of water with you wherever you go to prevent dehydration.

12. Using a plastic water bottle

It’s great if you keep that body hydrated, but are you drinking from a bottle made out of steel, glass, ceramic, or plastic? Because the material is equally important as the water itself.

According to Breastcancer.org, a nonprofit organization, plastic drink containers can contaminate the liquids with dangerous chemicals such as BPA, a synthetic hormone that can affect your body’s hormonal balance. The same harmful chemical can also maximize your breast cancer risk.
