Scientists: This is causing lung cancer

Besides smoking, smog, genetics, or mining jobs, one of the reasons why people in certain regions are most often sick of lung cancer is, believe it or not, the air they breathe.

Indeed, the question is that it is not the same at which height we live. Low air is denser, with it even richer in oxygen, which, in spite of its goods, is at great risk to our organism, broadcast newspapers.net.

It's just oxygen is in a very unusual element. Every time we eat, our body uses it to turn food into energy. However, oxidation is the process of metabolicism with which many so-called cheap radicals, who are very cancerous.

These very reactive atoms are likely to cause confusion in the organism so that it can result in damage to DNA and eventually even cell mutation, which causes cancer. Considering that the lungs, as part of the respiratory organs, are the first in oxygen shocks, they are most vulnerable to cancer disease.

Although that sounds terrible, this is a natural process. However, if you want to reduce your risk of developing lung cancer, move to higher altitudes, and best to the mountain because there is less air where your lungs will not only expand and work differently but also have less oxygen to fight with.

U.S. scientists have applied extensive research and have calculated that in every thousand meters of over high altitude, the number of people who are sick of lung cancer decreases dramatically
