A cosmetic surgeon and biochemist has outlined five effective strategies for lowering the risk of cancer. Dr. Reza Tirgari, renowned TikTok influencer from San Diego, California, shares his expert health tips to a dedicated following of over 522,000 individuals, gaining international attention with his viral video. His impactful advice includes quitting smoking, maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, avoiding processed meats, safe sex practices, and wearing sunscreen daily.
‘These top five things can keep you out of health risks for a long, long time,’ emphasizes the doctor.
Dr. Tirgari’s primary recommendation to prevent cancer is to eliminate smoking, including cigarettes, vapes, or hookah, as it significantly damages lung health.
Additionally, he encourages the public to prioritize healthier lifestyle choices, including maintaining a suitable body weight through regular physical activities and avoiding processed foods.
Moreover, Dr. Tirgari highlights the negative impact of consuming processed meats such as ham and bacon, which have been linked to an increased risk of colon cancer as per the World Health Organization (WHO).
The holistic health expert underscores the importance of safe sex practices for preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that may lead to various forms of cancer, such as liver and cervical cancer.
Lastly, he strongly recommends the daily application of sunscreen to reduce the risk of skin cancer, particularly in Australia, where skin cancer rates are significant and a growing concern.
In conclusion, Dr. Retzari’s comprehensive approach to cancer prevention and mitigation serves as a valuable resource that can positively impact public health and well-being.
