If you are one of those people then read on to get the insight of what happens when you smoke and eventually bears lung cancer.

On the first sight a person simply puff a cigarette just for fun. During the process of puffing the body cells absorbs the nicotine the constituent of tobacco. Also there are other ingredients as well. These are dried leaves; some herbs which are not harmful in the natural form but when burned are very harmful. As they produce carcinogens which go directly in the lungs. They are not excreted from the body in any form like respiration, defecation and urination.

They get on accumulated cigarette by cigarette and eventually the degeneration of the lungs starts. This stage stays there for some time and depends on the frequency of the smoker. This is the curable stage and is not noticeable at first. When the symptoms starts to creep the cancer spreads faster and the lungs are completely under the influence of the disease. In the end the lungs stops processing the oxygen that you breathe in. Eventually you become a lung cancer patient.

Now as you know the details and the process about the lung cancer, you can correlate more the smoking to lung cancer. Now when you will smoke, you will always think about the process that described above and will eventually decrease or stop smoking at all. Also the healthy diet plays an important role in this. Eating fruits and vegetables daily lessens the threat of lung cancer even in the smokers. Also the apricot seeds are quite useful in lung cancer prevention. There are certain other reasons also that cause lung cancer like passive smoking. Although it is not in control of the person but you can avoid it by not sitting or standing in such environment which makes you a passive smoker.

Lung cancer is disease which is primarily associated with the people who smoke in any way either actively or passively. As it is notion that generally the men smoke regularly the number of cases in men is more as compared to women. But due to the change in the lifestyle the numbers of women’s are also catching up in this field also to out power men. Diet is also an important factor. Lung cancer prevention can be done in case of both smokers and non-smokers if they keep a good watch on their diet. The risk can be minimized if they have 5 serves of vegetables and fruits daily. They should include apple, melons, tomatoes and green vegetables. According to a study in Finland eating an apple can reduce the chances of having cancer to as low as 58% as compared to those who does not eat it. This is because it is rich with cancer fighting flavonoids.

Also try to have some tomato sauce in your food while cooking because cooked tomatoes shows protective properties against this disease in the smokers. Taking a subsequent amount of beta-carotenes will also help but take it from the natural sources like peach, melon, mango and sweet potatoes. Avoid supplements of this and Vitamin A as a study has proved that there is an increase in lung cancer to as high as 28% among smoker who were taking these as supplements.

Lung cancer patients have to visit doctors on regular basis for treatment but for the preventive measure also one must visit doctor for a medical checkup. This should be accompanies with medicines and an X-ray of chest is must on an yearly basis of the smokers, people above the age of 50 and for those who have case in their family as they are likely to have so. X-ray is a preventive measure that helps in lung cancer screening form time to time. Also it assist the doctors to have a good idea about your lungs health and to diagnose the cancer in early stage, this will in turn help you to go for the treatment at the right time.

Certain medicines have properties that ward off the cancer like aspirin, selenium (constituent of multivitamin), vitamin C tablets, etc. They can be taken in small dosage but on the other side of coin are the inherited side-effects of medicines. So you must consult doctor prior taking these medicines.

Lung cancer is one of the most deadly diseases that are the outcome of our unhealthy lifestyle and the advancement of technology. The survival rate of the people having lung cancer to the normal people varies from 5% to 16% in the international circuit. There are certain factors that decide the survival rate in case of the lung cancer. These are lung cancer screening for the first time, stage of the cancer and the condition of the patient. Survival rate is expressed as 5 year survival rate. It is the percentage of lung cancer patients that survive for five years at least after their cancer is being diagnosed.

We are talking about the survival rate. But there are methods for lung cancer prevention or we can say to prevent lung cancer from developing. It is not so much difficult to do so, and it s as easy as eating the apricot seeds.  These are quite popular in US in both the forms (dried and fresh). There are nutritional facts that support the fact that apricot seeds prevent lung cancer. It also helps in the treatment of the patients suffering from the disease. There is fixed amount to be taken daily that depends o person to person and a doctor can best advice you.

So what is so special about this apricot seed?

This seed have a nutrient called amygdaline, also known as B17. Inside this nutrient is the locked cyanide. This is kind of poison and very toxic. But this poison is locked unless and until the nutrient comes in contact with a cancerous cell. The process that is being performed is that an enzyme is needed to release the cyanide and that enzyme is only with the cancerous cell. In this way a cancerous cell unlocks the cyanide and cyanide in turn destroys the cancerous cell. Normal cell are not affected as they does not contain that enzyme but instead of that contains a one that unlock the nutrient and neutralizes the cyanide. In this way the cancerous cell are destroyed eventually on being formed.

Our body produce cancer cell constantly eating apricot seeds only once won’t work as it is not a vaccine. Eating it on daily basis can only help to prevent the cancer. Most of the scientist believes that B17 will definitely attack cancer cell and will never allow cancer to creep or develop.
