New Guidelines to Reduce Cancer Risk

New Guidelines: Eat Right and Stay Active to Help Lower Cancer Risk

Article date: January 11, 2012

By Stacy Simon

Take care of your heart and help lower your cancer risk by eating smarter and being more active. The American Cancer Society has updated its guidelines for nutrition and physical activity to help you reduce your risk of cancer. And a recent study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention found that nonsmokers whose lifestyles were most consistent with Society guidelines had a significantly lower risk of dying from cancer, cardiovascular disease, or all causes combined.

You may already be following our advice. If you are not and want to make changes, try some of the tips here.

1. Achieve and maintain a healthy weight throughout life.

2. Adopt a physically active lifestyle.

3. Eat a healthy diet, with an emphasis on fruits and vegetables.

4. If you drink alcohol, limit how much you drink.
