To quote Denis Leary: "Get me one of those tracheotomies... so I can smoke TWO cigarettes at the same time! Gonna get nine tracheotomies all the way round my neck, I'll be TRACHEOTOMY MAN! HE CAN SMOKE A PACK AT A TIME, HE'S TRACHEOTOMY MAN!"
It's entirely possible that she's both a smoker and a health nut.
In fact, given that the vast majority of her life was before Japan was opened up to foreign trade and during that fairly short window she was still a backwoods hermit, she's probably smoking marijuana and not tobacco.
That's right. She's smoking a joint every time anyone sees her, and she's still pissed off and uptight all the time. Imagine what would happen if she stopped.

Can't say I know much about the canon stuff but it's probably irrelevant; if her immortality is regenerative, so as to continuously do everything in its power to restore her body to the same condition it was in when she drank the elixer, then the cancer'd never develop.

Resurrective. It's resurrective! Don't think of it as regenerative, because that gives the idea that she isn't really immortal because you could simply blow her up till nothing is left for her TO regenerate from. She isn't restored because she can quickly regrow hurt parts. She is restored because she quite literally can't die. It's resurrective.

The health-nut bit is actually a lie on Mokou's part. In cage of lunatic runagate, she even notes "My immortal body was in quite good condition, despite how I neglected it. And that was quite a bit."

She probably only said that to explain why she is so young after so many years.
