Alcohol, Cancer & Genetic Mutations
Banish
alcohol. Alcohol can affect your resolve and make
it easier to light up again. You don’t have to quit alcohol
forever, but spend at least of month of abstinence after
you quit smoking.
Be prepared to
fight the urges. As you go through withdrawal expect one
or more of the following symptoms: upset stomach, difficulty
concentrating, drowsiness, insomnia and irritability.
Once the nicotine
is flushed from your body the withdrawal symptoms will gradually
subside but they will probably never go away totally. That’s
because one is never enough. If you smoke one you’ll smoke
a dozen or more. Try to...
- Change your
rituals.
- Short circuit
stress.
- Quit early
in the week.
- Stay in a smoke
free world.
- Give yourself
daily pep talks.
- Make a deal
and reward yourself
- Save those
bucks.
- Stall for time
– delay lighting up.
- Stay hydrated.
- Cut down on
caffeine.
- Eat breakfast.
Although going
cold turkey is the best bet, if you must do it gradually,
the important thing is to QUIT!
Does it come from
Grandma? – Genetics seems simple but is so complex that many
scientists are still baffled by some aspects of the process.
Genes are composed of millions of encoded nitrogen molecules
that carry all of your reproductive blueprints. Every day
100 trillion cells depend on genes to tell them what they
are supposed to be doing. The genetic code is a set of tutorials
that tells the cells how to work properly. If one of those
instructions is wrong, it changes how the cell functions.
These erroneous instructions cause disease if they prevent
the cell from doing the job it was designed to do and can
cause the cell to die.
A genetic mistake
is called a mutation. Having a mutation does not mean that
you are pre-determined to get a disease. It just tells you
that you should be more cautious about monitoring your overall
health.
For instance only
5% of breast cancer is hereditary. But among women who have
a history of breast cancer AND carry either the BRCA1 or
BRCA2 (BRCA means breast cancer) gene the lifetime risk of
breast cancer is about 80%. Women who have an inherited breast
cancer gene may contract the disease 10 to 15 years earlier
but it’s also true that almost half won’t get breast cancer
until after age 60.
For most people
the likelihood of developing inherited forms of cancer are
about as likely as being struck by lightning and winning
the lottery on the same day. But if your family does seem
prone to a particular disease, it may be worth taking some
precautions.
If you have a
parent who died of a heart attack or a sibling who died of
stroke at a young age that is something to share with your
doctor as well as make some lifestyle changes like exercising,
eating properly and not smoking.
Genetic testing
is now available, but at a very high cost. Unless there is
dramatic evidence that points to potentially serious genetic
predispositions in your family tree, you’re much
better off taking normal precautions by living healthy.
