Take charge by making changes such as eating healthy foods and getting regular screenings.<\/p>\n<p>How do people lower the chances of getting cancer? There\u2019s plenty of advice. But at times, advice from one study seems to go against advice from another. And researchers keep looking into new ways to prevent cancer.<\/p>\n<p>But experts know that certain lifestyle choices can affect the chances of getting cancer. Try these lifestyle tips to help prevent cancer.<\/p>\n<div data-nosnippet=\"true\">\n<div id=\"ad-mobile-top-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>1. Don\u2019t use tobacco<\/h3>\n<div class=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<p>Smoking has been linked to many types of cancer. This includes cancer of the lung, mouth, throat, voice box, pancreas, bladder, cervix, and kidney. Even being around secondhand smoke may raise the risk of lung cancer.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not only smoking that\u2019s harmful. Chewing tobacco has been linked to cancer of the mouth, throat, and pancreas.<\/p>\n<div data-nosnippet=\"true\">\n<div id=\"ad-mobile-top-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A great way to help prevent cancer is to not use tobacco. If you want to quit tobacco, ask a healthcare professional about products that can help you stop smoking and other ways of quitting.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Eat healthy foods<\/h3>\n<div class=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<p>Eating healthy foods isn\u2019t a sure way to prevent cancer. But it might lower the risk. Try to:<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1886858\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables.<\/strong>\u00a0Focus on fruits, vegetables and other foods from plant sources, such as whole grains and beans. Limit foods high in calories, fats and added sugars. Limit red meat, processed meats, refined grains, and saturated and trans fats.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drink alcohol only in moderation, if at all.<\/strong>\u00a0Alcohol raises the risk of various types of cancer, including cancer of the breast, colon, lung, kidney and liver. The risk goes up the more you drink.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div data-nosnippet=\"true\">\n<div id=\"ad-mobile-top-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>People who eat a Mediterranean diet have a lower risk of breast cancer. The Mediterranean diet focuses mostly on plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts. People who follow the Mediterranean diet choose healthy fats, such as olive oil, rather than butter. And they eat fish instead of red meat.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-8\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1886858\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>3. Stay at a healthy weight and be physically active<\/h3>\n<div class=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<p>Being at a healthy weight might lower the risk of some types of cancer. These include cancer of the breast, pancreas, liver, colon, and kidney.<\/p>\n<p>Physical activity counts too. Besides helping control weight, physical activity on its own may lower the risk of breast cancer and colon cancer.<\/p>\n<div data-nosnippet=\"true\">\n<div id=\"ad-mobile-top-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Doing any amount of physical activity is good for your health. But for the most benefit, get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of hard aerobic activity. More is better. You can combine moderate and hard activity.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Protect yourself from the sun<\/h3>\n<div class=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<p>Skin cancer is one of the most common kinds of cancer and one of the easiest to prevent. Try these tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Limit time spent in the sun.<\/strong>\u00a0This is especially true between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun\u2019s rays are strongest.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay in the shade.<\/strong>\u00a0When outdoors, be in the shade as much as you can. Sunglasses and a broad-brimmed hat help too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cover your skin.<\/strong>\u00a0Wear clothing that covers as much skin as possible. Wear a head cover and sunglasses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use plenty of sunscreen.<\/strong>\u00a0Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, even on cloudy days. Put on a lot of sunscreen. Put it on again every two hours. Use it more often if you\u2019re swimming or sweating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t use tanning beds or sunlamps.<\/strong>\u00a0These can do as much harm as sunlight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div data-nosnippet=\"true\">\n<div id=\"ad-mobile-top-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>5. Get vaccinated<\/h3>\n<div class=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<p>Protecting against certain viral infections can help protect against cancer. Talk to a healthcare professional about getting vaccines to prevent the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hepatitis B<\/strong>. Hepatitis B can raise the risk of getting liver cancer. People at high risk are those who have sex with more than one partner, people who have one sexual partner who has sex with others, and people with sexually transmitted infections.\n<div data-nosnippet=\"true\">\n<div id=\"ad-mobile-top-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Others at high risk are people who inject illegal drugs, men who have sex with men, and healthcare or public safety workers who have contact with infected blood or body fluids.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Human papillomavirus (HPV).<\/strong>\u00a0HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that can cause cervical cancer and other genital cancers. It also can lead to squamous cell cancers of the head and neck. The vaccine can protect children as young as 9 and young adults who were not vaccinated during childhood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>6. Stay away from risky behaviors<\/h3>\n<div class=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<p>Some behaviors carry a high risk of infections that can raise the risk of getting cancer. To help prevent cancer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Practice safe sex.<\/strong>\u00a0Limit how many sexual partners you have. Use a condom. The more sexual partners you have, the greater the chances of getting a sexually transmitted infection, such as HIV or HPV.\n<div data-nosnippet=\"true\">\n<div id=\"ad-mobile-top-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>People who have HIV or AIDS have a higher risk of cancer of the anus, liver and lung. HPV is most often linked to cervical cancer. But it also might raise the risk of cancer of the anus, penis, throat, vulva and vagina.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t share needles.<\/strong>\u00a0Using drugs with shared needles can lead to HIV. And it can lead to hepatitis B and hepatitis C, which can raise the risk of liver cancer. If you need help with drug misuse or addiction, talk with a professional who specializes in those areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>7. Get regular medical care<\/h3>\n<div class=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<p>Do regular self-exams. Get screenings for cancers, such as cancer of the skin, colon, cervix and breast. These efforts raise the chances of finding cancer early. That\u2019s when treatment is most likely to work. Ask a healthcare professional about the best cancer screenings for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cancer prevention: 7 tips to reduce your risk 8 Ways To Prevent Cancer: Eat a healthy diet Concerned about cancer prevention?
