Abstract
The National Cancer Institute of India estimates that 33% of all cancers are preventable. 90% of all cancers are found to have a missed opportunity where it could have been prevented. The prevention of cancer is important because it is a vicious trap where one pill leads to another pill for suppressing the symptoms, leading to another pill to manage its side effects. Most people who die of cancer do not die of the disease, but the side effects of the treatment of the disease. Ayurveda says that protecting the health of a healthy individual and prevention of diseases is the ultimate aim of Ayurveda. Through effective application of Ayurvedic nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management protocols to our lifestyle can dramatically improve the chances of preventing cancer.
