Did you know that at least a third of common types of cancer are preventable? 3.7 million lives can be saved if we are able to educate more people about preventing, detecting, and treating cancer.
Luckily, you can take steps to start preventing cancer and learning more about the warning signs today.
A diet high in processed meats, sodium, and lack of fruits/veggies puts you at risk for cancer. Change your diet around to include less fast food and processed options to help keep your body healthy.
Another step you can take to prevent cancer is by increasing your level of physical activity. Exercise reduces your overall body fat, which reduces the risk of getting breast, colon, and abdominal cancers.
