Every parent hopes that their children can grow up healthily, but it is undeniable that many children currently suffer from serious illnesses at a very young age.
In recent years, the incidence of childhood cancer has increased year by year. Why is this? In fact, there are many reasons why children suffer from cancer, and many parents should reflect on it.
Causes of cancer in children
1. Congenital factors
When children develop cancer at a very young age, heredity is one of the more important factors. There are also many children who suffer from cancer due to congenital reasons. During pregnancy, mothers should have regular check-ups, and if any abnormalities are found, they can be remedied in time.
2. Smoking second-hand smoke
In addition to congenital factors, there are also many acquired factors that can cause children to develop cancer. Secondhand smoke is one of them. When children are young, the body's detoxification function is not perfect, and the harmful substances produced by parents' smoking can cause children to develop cancer. Parents who have the habit of smoking should pay attention. Get rid of the smoking habit.
3. Environmental factors
Nowadays, many people will move into new houses. After the new houses are decorated, a lot of chemical elements will be produced. Especially if formaldehyde exceeds the standard, not only children will suffer from diseases, but adults will also suffer from diseases. After giving birth to a baby, Parents should not let their babies live in a newly renovated house.
Children's resistance is relatively weak. Bacteria produced in a newly renovated house can easily enter the child's body and cause the child to suffer from diseases.
4, eating habits
Many parents will unconditionally meet their children's dietary needs. Little do they know that children who eat too much unhealthy food will accumulate a lot of fat in their bodies, leading to a decrease in their body resistance and increasing their risk of cancer. .
How to prevent childhood cancer

We must avoid harmful substances produced by decoration, furniture, etc. In addition, Children should also be protected from external radiation and car exhaust.
2. Seek medical attention promptly

3. Improve immunity
A better way to resist disease is to enhance the child's physical resistance. You can usually let the child do more physical exercise to improve the child's physical resistance.
