reducing your risk of developing cancer. Here are some key recommendations:

Eat a balanced diet high in whole foods like grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Limit
processed and red meat.

Drink alcohol moderately or not at all. The more you drink, the higher your cancer risk.

Stay active with 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week. Activity helps lower cancer risk.

Quit smoking, as tobacco is the top cause of multiple cancers and diseases.

Limit sun exposure by wearing protective clothing and sunscreen. Most skin cancers are caused by
too much UV light.

Know your family history and discuss any concerns with your doctor. Some cancers have a genetic
link.
