Here we go with the third on the list:
Get active!
All forms of physical activity help to prevent many forms of cancer, according to Expert Reports,
You may not get lean and muscular with 30 minutes of moderate exercise every
day, but a number of studies have found evidence that just this much physical activity can cut your risk of many common cancers by 30% to 50%. It doesn’t matter that much what kind of exercise you do, or when. — just make sure you do it!
Now, Let’s correlate it to smoking:
If you can cut your weight
down to a healthy range, increase your physical activity, and increase your fruit and vegetable intake. That’s the equivalent to stopping smoking if you were a smoker! People may not understand how important these factors are, because they creep up over life span.
So now, lets look at it: if quitting smoke reduces cancer risks by half, and maintaining a healthy weight plus staying active is equivalent to quitting smoke; then you can be sure as heaven that your chances of getting cancer is very minimal!

Now, here is the second on the list:
Don’t Weight!
Many people probably know that
carrying too much weight around isn’t good for your heart, but do you know that it’s a major risk factor for cancer as well? Obesity is the culprit behind some 14% of cancer deaths, and more than 3% of new cancer cases, every year. It is recommended that: for cancer risk reduction you have to stay as lean as possible within a healthy weight range. This may be one of the most important ways to prevent cancer, says Alice Bender, MS, RD, manager of nutrition communications at the American Institute for Cancer Research
(AICR). In November 2007, the AICR put out an expert report summarizing how food, nutrition, and physical activity can affect cancer and cancer prevention.
Being overweight, according to the AICR report, is linked to a wide variety of cancers, including esophageal, pancreatic, gall bladder, breast, endometrial, and kidney cancers.
