Lifestyle Medicine
In the U.S., 40% of all cancers and 45% of cancer deaths are related to modifiable risk factors like smoking, excess body weight, and alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and/or poor nutrition.
There's no sure way to prevent cancer, but we know that making healthy choices like eating healthy, staying active and not using tobacco products can help reduce the risk of developing cancer. Adopt healthy lifestyle behaviors to reduce your cancer risk.
The recommendations explained here hold true for anyone at any stage of a health journey. But your cancer journey can provide unique challenges, so please visit Sylvester's Cancer Support Services to see how we can assist you.
