Take your Children to the Playground to Prevent Cancer


By Sean Conroy - Posted on 29 April 2008

About one in 2000 children between the ages of two and five years old will develop leukaemia. However, by taking your child to daycare or the playground, you may be able to reduce the chances of you child developing this illness by 30 - 40%.

For a child to develop leukaemia, there must first be a mutation before the child is born, then there must be an event to trigger it, such as an infection. By exposing your child to different social situations, you will also build up the child's immune system since it will be exposed to many different ailments.
