Are you aware of the food that you are eating? What kind of foods do you always consumed? Do you check their nutrients and benefits?

We are living in a modern world where everything was improved for a better life living. Just like the food for us humans, they are improved so that we will have something to eat always and quick. We often consumed process foods due to busy life and to cope up with busy life. They made our lives easier while filling our stomach while working on. How much processed meat do you consume? Does the hassle was lessen because of them? Probably the answer is Yes.

Some of the Processed meat that we are consuming is bacon, sausage, hotdogs, pepperoni, salted or smoked beef and meat. Those comes with preservatives to lengthen the capacity and shelf life of foods in a very long time. It was founds in the studies that consuming at least 50 grams of any processed meat will increase the chances of you getting cancer. If you are wondering how they end up with cancer it is because they are added with preservatives as well as nitrite.

Another explanation for it is that processed meat are cooked in a very high temperatures. Science found that they can cause some changes in your DNA which later on can caused cancer. Eating with fried or barbecued meat or streetfoods can caused pancreatic or prostate cancer.

Studies found that marinating street foods before cooking it may lessen the carcinogens to form. Another good that can also caused cancers are the red meat. Yes, you heard it right the red meat. Red meats are those beef, pork, veal, lamb including the meat of goats. Alcohol on the other side, can caused and increase your chances of getting cancers as well. When taking alcohol  it produces acetaldehyde that can alter our DNA that later on can caused cancer. People who consumed higher amount of alcohol can increase the chances of getting the following: Esophageal, liver, breast and colorectal cancer.

Alcohol can damage the lining of the mouth and throat. They can also affect the hormones of our body that can cause breast cancer.

All the risk of having cancer depends on your consumption and daily lifestyle. It depends on the carcinogenic foods that we are ingesting in our body. It depends on how much amount we eat and how long we have been eating that food. All these factors can speed up the chances of getting cancers.

But it's never too late yet, as long as we are breathing there is always a chance to change for a better. You can change your habit into healthy habit only if you allow yourself to. Everything is your choice thus it was your choice to change your habit while it's not late yet. You can switch into healthy foods and later harvest the benefits of what you are eating.
