Healthy diet

Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, which are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Reduce intake of processed and red meat.

Healthy weight

Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week, along with muscle-strengthening exercises.

Stay away from tobacco

Smoking is a major risk factor for many types of cancer. Seek help to quit smoking through counseling, medication, or support groups.

Limit alcohol

If you choose to drink alcohol, do so in moderation. For men, this means up to two drinks per day.

Protect your skin

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day, even on cloudy days. Cover your skin when outdoors.

Regular screenings and checkups

Regular checkups can help detect cancer early when it is most treatable. Follow your doctor’s recommendations for cancer screenings based on your age

Reduce exposure to carcinogens

Follow safety guidelines if you work with harmful substances. Test your home for radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas that may cause cancer.
