In the past year alone, I have received the tragic news that far too many of my family, coworkers, and friends have been diagnosed with cancer. While there are certainly many unanswered questions regarding its causes and prevention, the American Cancer Society has published a great document which summarizes many of the current recommendations. Unlike many of the diets and supplements touted on the web, these recommendations are based on scientific research.
I would like to share an even more convenient summary of these diet and physical activity-related recommendations which I created for one of my classes. This document lists the top ten cancers in the U.S., states the recommendations for prevention straight from the ACS guidelines, and then lists the most concerning factors in color coated lists.
While one of the biggest risk factors for cancer is genetic history, the lifestyle changes recommended by the ACS are not complex. If changes such as these could extend your life by decades, would you not consider making some of them?
