Re: Cancer to be world's top killer by 2010, WHO says
According to the Canadian Cancer Society, people can prevent at least half of all cancers with lifestyle habits:
- Don't smoke and avoid exposure to second-hand smoke
- Eat a high-fibre, low-fat diet, including plenty of fruits and vegetables, and limit your alcohol intake to no more than two drinks a day
- Exercise regularly
- Reduce your sun exposure, particularly between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., and wear sunscreen every day
- See your doctor for regular cancer screening based on your age and family history, and any time you notice a change in your health
- Follow safety guidelines when using, storing or disposing of hazardous materials
