A healthy lifestyle can significantly lower the risk of many cancers. While no approach guarantees prevention, the habits below are strongly linked to reduced cancer risk and better overall health.

🥗 Eat a Cancer-Protective Diet

• Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables (especially leafy greens, berries, cruciferous veggies).
• Choose whole grains and legumes over refined carbs.
• Limit processed meats (sausages, bacon) and reduce red meat.
• Cut back on ultra-processed foods, sugary drinks, and excess salt.
• Use healthy fats like olive oil, nuts, and seeds.

🏃 Stay Physically Active

• Aim for 150–300 minutes of moderate exercise weekly (walking, cycling, swimming).
• Add strength training at least twice a week.
• Reduce long periods of sitting—move often during the day.
