FOOD, LIFESTYLE AND ACTIVITY TO AVOID CERVICAL CANCER
Cervical cancer ranks as 4th most 
common cancer in the world and 
2nd most common cancer in India, 
among women. Hundreds of 
women every year die due to 
cervical cancer.  Many feel lack of 
control when they hear of cervical 
cancer but there are still ways to 
help take hold of and fight 
against it.
Food:
There are many factors that can aid in fighting, and the food we eat is one of them.
Some foods have specific nutrients and antioxidant properties that can help prevent, and 
fight against cervical cancer and reduce the symptoms that go along with it.
That’s why here I list a few food items eating which according to studies can help prevent 
the risk of cervical cancer.
Sweet potatoes, carrots, egg, spinach, apples and oranges rank top on the list.
Sweet potatoes are the heaviest carriers of beta carotene, an antioxidant which helps 
protect cells from damage caused by the free radicles thus strongly fighting against many 
cancers, such as cervical cancer.  Sweet potatoes are much healthier than 
regular potatoes.  They can be baked and mashed. Carrots, oranges, squash, 
eggs, liver, and Tuna are other such a source of vitamin A working best as 
cervical cancer preventers. Carrots are also known to target Human 
papillomavirus (HPV), which is a common cause of cervical cancer. Eating 
foods made to fight HPV can help prevent and fight against the disease.
Spinach and other green leafy vegetables offer good amounts of 
folic acid that aid in the production of new cells in the body. This 
allows the new cells to push away the unwanted toxic cells that 
could be feeding cancer and other diseases. Not only this will 
help fight against cervical cancer but spinach is also packed with 
many other vitamins so much so that it is suggested for almost 
any diet.
Apple a day keep the doctor away isn’t an entire exaggeration. 
Apples are high in vitamin C which acts as an antioxidant to fight 
the disease. Everyone knows that apples are good for health but 
doesn’t realise its nutritional benefits. Apples are powerful against 
many diseases, one of them being cervical cancer. So stick to 
adding it to the diet.
Eggs are a good source of biological proteins. Protein is an 
essential nutrient in fighting almost any cancer, not just cervical 
cancer. This is because protein is necessary for healing the body 
and repairing damaged tissues. This is why adding it to everyday 
diet can be a great way to achieve a healthier lifestyle and a 
stronger fight against cervical cancer.
Lifestyle and Activity:
Cervical cancer is more common among 15 to 44 years of females.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common cause. There are about a hundred subtypes of this virus and some of 
those subtypes lie in the genital area and both men and women carry this. So both men and women need to take the HPV 
vaccine so that they are not carriers of it.
The use of condoms during intercourse helps to lower the risk of contracting HPV and developing HPV-related diseases, 
including cancer of the cervix.
Smoking cigarettes and use of tobacco are highly associated with the risk of cervical cancer. As the by-products of 
tobacco damage the DNA of the cervix cells and may contribute to the development of cervical cancer.
 A little bit of personal care can also prevent the risk of cervical cancer.
 A healthy diet and adequate water are the best things to start.
