Change Your Diet and Avoid Cancer

Posted by on Jun 05 2009 | Uncategorized

Almost a quarter of cancers could be prevented by changing diet and exercise. There is not evidence that links diet, physical activity, obesity and cancer. This leads to the conclusion that living a healthier lifestyle will reduce cancer risk.

According to the report, 24 percent of cancers could be prevented by making lifestyle changes. The study concludes that 11 percent of prostate cancers; 47 percent of stomach cancers; 15 percent of liver cancers; 24 percent of kidney cancers; 36 percent of lung cancers; 38 percent of breast cancers; 39 percent of pancreatic cancers; 69 percent of esophageal cancers; 21 percent of gall bladder cancers; 45 percent of bowel cancers; 47 percent of stomach cancers; 63 percent of mouth, pharyngeal and laryngeal cancers; and 70 percent of uterine cancers could be eliminated.

The report makes recommendations of ways that everyone can help reduce rates of cancer. It encourages bans on unhealthy foods, encourages physical activity, and urges the reading of food labels.
