1. Healthy Diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit processed foods, red meats, and sugary drinks to reduce cancer risk.
2. Physical Activity: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise weekly. Regular activity helps maintain a healthy weight and lowers risk for certain cancers.
3. Avoid Tobacco: Quit smoking and avoid secondhand smoke. Tobacco use is linked to multiple cancers, including lung, throat, and mouth cancers.
4. Limit Alcohol: Keep alcohol consumption to a minimum—up to one drink per day for women and two for men—to lower risks of liver, breast, and other cancers.
5. Sun Protection: Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and avoid tanning beds to prevent skin cancer caused by UV radiation.
6. Screenings and Check-ups: Follow recommended cancer screenings (e.g., mammograms, colonoscopies, Pap tests) for early detection of breast, colorectal, cervical, and other cancers.
7. Vaccinations: Get vaccinated against HPV (human papillomavirus) and hepatitis B to prevent cancers like cervical and liver cancer.
8. Maintain Healthy Weight: Obesity is linked to increased cancer risk. Focus on a balanced diet and exercise to maintain a healthy BMI.
9. Limit Exposure to Toxins: Avoid carcinogens like asbestos, radon, and certain chemicals. Ensure proper ventilation and safety measures in workplaces or homes.
10. Know Family History: Understand your genetic risk factors and discuss with a doctor for tailored screening or preventive measures.
