  • This research, published in the Free Radical Biology and Medicine Journal, states that DNA is affected by giving a higher amount of Vitamin-C before radiation and cancer cells are beginning to die.
  • Many pathways to prevent brain tumors are not known, yet it is better to avoid the chemicals in the food.
  • Do not make a habit of waking up for long hours . Sleep is essential to keep the nervous system calm.
