Breathe Easy: How Lifestyle Choices Can Lower Your Risk of Lung Cancer
Lung cancer remains one of the most challenging health concerns globally but the good news is, many cases are preventable. At Royal Care Hospital, Coimbatore, we believe that prevention is the first step toward lifelong wellness. With our commitment to premium care and cutting-edge diagnostics, we empower individuals to take control of their health through informed lifestyle choices.
Say No to Tobacco — Your Lungs Will Thank You
Smoking is still the leading cause of lung cancer, responsible for nearly 90% of cases. But quitting isn’t just possible — it’s powerful. Studies show that within 10–15 years of quitting, your lung cancer risk drops by up to 50%.
Avoid Secondhand Smoke & Indoor Pollutants
Even if you don’t smoke, exposure to secondhand/passive smoke, radon gas, and industrial pollutants can silently damage lung tissue.
Eat for Lung Health
A diet rich in cruciferous vegetables, berries, and omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation and support cellular repair. Avoid ultra-processed foods. Recent studies link high UPF intake to a 41% increase in lung cancer risk. Our nutritionists can craft personalized anti-inflammatory meal plans for patients and families.
Move More, Breathe Better
Regular physical activity improves lung capacity, boosts immunity, and helps maintain a healthy weight — all protective factors against cancer.
Manage Stress & Sleep Well
Chronic stress and poor sleep can weaken your immune system, making it harder to fight off abnormal cell growth.
Get Screened Early
For high-risk individuals (especially smokers aged 55+), low-dose CT scans can detect lung cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages. Our advanced imaging suite offers precision diagnostics with minimal radiation exposure.
