There are numerous things you can do to minimize your risk of cancer by a third. Research
carried out by Harvard University showed one third of the seven million cancer deaths in the world in
2001 could have been avoided if the victims had taken sufficient fruits and vegetables, refrain from
smoking, take less salt, sugar and oil; do more exercise, cut down red meat consumption and watched
their weight. Over indulgence on unhealthy habits are key factors for strokes, cancers, and heart
attacks.
Some doctors say cancer is multi-factor disease; it’s a combination of genetic environment and
family history. It has no clear definition to pinpoint the exact risk factor. There is no guarantee that a
person who follows good health procedure rigidly will not suffer from stroke, cancer, or heart attack.
Conversely, there are many who indulge in smoking, drinking and other vice out lived a person who
does not indulge in unhealthy living.
In my opinion, this is a very subjective-issue and advise. Those who totally ignore the healthy
life style to give up or at least reduce their vice before it’s too late. As for who follow the healthy life
style rigidly to take it easy as a bit of red meat; deep fried food or ice cream occasionally are not going
to hurt them. Prevention is better than cure, so go for clinical check up regularly. Consult a doctor
immediately if you suspect cancer as early detection and treatment give better chance of cure.

Working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some
foresight. However, you’d better think a hundred times before you decide to take a part time job.
On the negative side, working and still maintaining a good grade at school is not an easy task.
Having less time for schoolwork becomes the main negative effect. Consequently, many students who
work part time fail to perform at their best both on schoolwork and on examinations. Moreover, a part
time job can really interfere with the students’ free time. It also cuts into their studies and/or social life.
On the positive side of things, a part time job helps students to support day to day living
expenses. Another benefit of part-time work is the opportunity to expand the resume. Ideally, a
student can still gain some work experience and develop skills.
However, working takes a lot of time and energy, so students need to make sure to be able to
handle both employment and their current commitments so that they have to make decisions and
figure out their priorities.
