Cancer prevention tips

*Be as lean as possible without becoming underweight: Don’t just look at the scale; check your waist measurement as a crude measurement of your abdominal fat. Men’s waists should be no larger than 37 inches and women’s waists 31.5 inches or less. *Be physically active for at least 30 minutes every day: You can break that into 10- to 15-minute blocks, and even more activity may be better. *Avoid sugary drinks and limit consumption of energy-dense foods: *Eat more of a variety of vegetables, fruits,whole grains, and legumes such as beans. *Limit alcoholic drinks to two for men and one for women per day. *Limit red meats (beef, pork, lamb) and avoid processed meats: Limit consumption of salty foods and foods processed with sodium. Don’t use supplements to protect against cancer: It’s not that supplements are bad It’s best for mothers to breastfeed babies exclusively for up to six months and then add other foods and liquids.
