6 small measures to prevent bladder cancer

Bladder cancer is a common malignant tumor of the urinary system. To prevent bladder cancer, you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat less meat, quit smoking as soon as possible, increase your water intake appropriately, participate in more physical exercise, and enhance your self-protection awareness.

1. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits

Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can break down carcinogenic nitrosamines in the body. We should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

4. Increase water intake appropriately

Appropriately increasing the amount of water you drink will help dilute the urine and excrete it in a timely manner, which will relatively reduce the bacteria and carcinogens in the urine, and can reduce irritation and damage to the bladder mucosa, thus playing a role in preventing bladder cancer. You should ensure 8 glasses of water a day.

5. Take more physical exercise

Taking part in more physical exercise can strengthen your physical fitness, improve your body's immunity and prevent the occurrence of bladder cancer symptoms.
