Your diet, level of activity, and other lifestyle factors can affect your risk of cancer. Eating healthy and nutritious foods, avoiding cigarette smoking and tobacco use, exercising, and protecting yourself from the damaging rays of the sun are just some of the ways to help prevent this deadly disease. In addition, early detection through cancer screenings, knowing your family’s health history and receiving immunizations for certain types of cancer are all ways to take control of your health and catch many cancers before they start, or at their earliest, most treatable stages.
