February is National Cancer Prevention Month. While life can become unpredictable with challenges and setbacks like a cancer diagnosis, there are many things you can do today to reduce your risk of developing this illness. So, the experts at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center recommend the following
LIFESTYLE HABITS
- Eat healthy: Eating well-balanced meals that include fruits and vegetables, whole grain foods, low or non-fat dairy products, and limited red or processed meats can all help reduce cancer risks.
- Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity each week. Physical activity lowers stress hormones, improves the immune system, and is associated with living a long, healthy life. Regular participation in physical activity has been linked to a decreased risk of colon, breast, lung, and endometrial cancer.
- Maintain a healthy weight: Try to achieve and maintain a healthy weight throughout your life.
- Avoid tobacco: Don’t smoke or use smokeless tobacco.
- Limit alcohol: Drink alcohol in moderation, if at all.
