HPV & Cervical Cancer: Causes, Risks & Prevention

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women, and in most cases, it is caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV).

While HPV is widespread, not everyone who gets the virus will develop cancer.

Our immune system plays a big role in protecting the body from infections, and this is where a holistic approach to health becomes important.

Understanding HPV and Cervical Cancer

HPV is a group of viruses that can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact. Some types of HPV are harmless, while others can cause serious health problems, including cervical cancer.

The good news is that HPV infections often clear up on their own, but when the immune system is weak, persistent infections can lead to complications.

Cervical cancer develops gradually, which means there are ways to detect and prevent it early.

Regular screenings like Pap smears and HPV tests are very important in identifying any abnormal cell changes before they become cancerous.

The Role of Integrated Health and Holistic Nutrition

Your lifestyle, diet, and overall well-being have a direct impact on your immune system’s ability to fight infections, including HPV.

A holistic approach to health ensures that the body is well-equipped to prevent and manage diseases.

At OneHealth, we focus on:

Boosting Immunity: A diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals helps keep the immune system strong. Foods high in vitamin C, beta-carotene, and folate—like citrus fruits, leafy greens, and carrots—are essential.
Balancing Hormones: Hormonal imbalances can affect overall health. Proper nutrition, stress management, and lifestyle changes help maintain balance.
Reducing Inflammation: Chronic inflammation weakens the body’s defences. Anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, ginger, and omega-3-rich foods (such as walnuts and flaxseeds) help combat this.
Detoxification: A well-functioning liver helps clear toxins. Drinking plenty of water and eating fibre-rich foods like whole grains and legumes supports detoxification.
