9Lifestyle Factors
In general, good overall health and well-being can help reduce the risk of developing cancer, including mesothelioma cancer. With a strong immune system and healthy lungs, the body can effectively prevent foreign particles from penetrating and causing inflammation. Therefore, any lifestyle factors that affect your overall health may increase the risk of this disease. These include having a poor diet that lacks essential nutrients, insufficient sleep, too much stress, too much smoking, and lack of exercise. Keep in mind that these lifestyle factors do not have a direct effect on the risk, but they can reduce the risk. This is more important in people with existing health issues. [10]
