Im terrified of getting cancer and I’m even more afraid of the cancer cells. I always read that everyone has cancer cells which is scary enough I hope that’s not true. Also if we do the thought that they could turn into cancer at anytime is really scary. It’s gotten so bad that I’m afraid that eating anything bad is gonna cause it. I’m really having a difficult time. Anyone have this same worries and what do I do to stop this horrible thoughts?

Please get this idea out of your head that there are cells waiting to turn on you.
You really don’t have to worry about that.
What really happens is, that cells get older and replicate a lot and with every replication and duplication the possibility that the DNA is being replicated wrongly gets higher. But, but, but our body and cells have lovely nifty things call RNA, and that’s the one that is prove reading your DNA and will repair it if there is anything wrong.
Also our immune system kills any cells off that are out of the ordinary.
Only in cases where the RNA is not working properly or the immune system isn’t working, then this can, NOT must, lead to cancer.
It’s always good to have a healthy diet, no matter the reason. Green tea is known to help prevent cancer as are other herbs, such as watercress, garlic and ginger.
I hope I could help easing your fear little bit.
