Help Prevent Cancer with Healthy Habits

An important part of cancer prevention is as simple as making healthy lifestyle choices, or choosing healthful habits while avoiding unhealthy ones. The following is a list of everyday healthy choices that can lower your cancer risk.

• Don’t smoke. Smoking is widely recognized as a risk for lung cancer and has also been linked to several other cancers. For smokers, kicking the habit is an important step in reducing cancer risk. Non-smokers should of course not take up smoking and should also be aware of the risk of second-hand smoke; this means avoiding individuals who smoke as well as smoke-filled environments.
• Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese increases your risk for many health conditions, including cancer. If you’re overweight or obese, consult your doctor about a healthy weight-loss plan. If you’re at a healthy weight, maintain it with a balanced diet and regular physical activity.
