Our surroundings cannot be more polluted than it is today, and consequently, the percentage of people suffering from one disease or other is increasing exponentially. What’s more worrying is that today’s busy life does not allow us to pay attention to our health, and take it as a priority. In present times, when even the most natural of things like food and air have become artificial, we need to pay even more attention to our health, which we are not doing, and taking it very lightly.
Now coming back to your question, you want to know the leading cause of Cancer. It’s a general opinion that cancer is caused by excessive smoking, but have you ever thought about those who don’t smoke at all and still acquire this fatal disease? If we say that smoking is the sole reason for cancer, and go by stereotypes, then men would be more vulnerable to cancer than women.
According to Yoga and Ayurveda, the anxiety that constantly looms over human nature invites the disease in human body. The more a human is anxious, the more he would attract diseases towards him. Stress and anxiety, therefore, are seen as the major causes of cancer. To improve our lifestyle and make it healthy, we need to keep our mind and soul peaceful, and our surroundings tranquil. Only then will we be able to get rid of anxiety, and hence of fatal diseases like cancer.
With the increasing development of medical science, we think that any disease can be cured through medicine and treatment. But let’s not forget the saying that “prevention is better than cure”. And if you still were unable to prevent yourself, you have to look for the root cause instead of blindly taking medicines and treatments. Knowing the root causes can help in the prevention of the same disease later in life too. Any medicine, any treatment would be unable to cure your body unless you chase away anxiety and stress from your mind.
