40% of the cancer cases diagnosed in the U.S. and nearly 50% of all deaths may be caused by avoidable risk factors. Here are six behaviors you can adopt that may help reduce your risk of developing cancer:

  1. Exercise Regularly
  2. Limit Consumption of Red Meat and Processed Foods
  3. Maintain a Healthy Weight
  4. Limit Alcohol Consumption
  5. Protect Your Skin from the Sun
  6. Get Vaccinated Against the Pathogens that Cause Cancer
