Are you concerned about Cancer?
​
The World Health Organisation says that one-third of cancers can be prevented. Another third can be effectively cured with early detection. Here are four major ways to lower the risk of developing some cancers.
Healthy Eating Habits
Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Limit foods high in fat, sugar and salt. Avoid processed meat and limit consumption of red meat.
Physical Activity
Aim to get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day. Being physically active contributes to a healthy lifestyle which can reduce your risk of developing some types of cancer.
Quit Smoking & Alcohol
One in three of all cancers is related to smoking. Cut out the cigarettes and reduce the risk of cancer. Also, there is no safe level of alcohol drinking. Alcohol has been linked to at least 7 types of cancer including breast cancer.
Screening
Some types of cancers can be found before they start. For example, colorectal and cervical cancer can be caught at their earliest and most treatable stages.
