Healthy messaging
Did you know around half of all cancers could be prevented by making changes to your lifestyle? Here are some important steps you and your colleagues can take to reduce the risk of developing cancer.
- Stop smoking – smoking is the single biggest cause of cancer. The earlier you quit smoking, the more damage you can undo.
- Keep a healthy body weight – This is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of cancer. When it comes to losing weight and keeping it off, long-term changes to your lifestyle are much more likely to work than quick-fix solutions.
- Be active – Just 30 minutes of moderate activity a day, five times a week, can have a positive effect on your health. And the more active you are, the more you can reduce your risk of cancer.
- Be Sunsmart – Use shade, clothing and sunscreen to protect yourself from getting caught out by sunburn.
- Eat healthy – Eat a healthy balanced diet high in fibre, fruit and vegetables and low in saturated fat, salt and red and processed meat.
- Limit how much alcohol you drink – The more you cut down on your drinking, the more you reduce your cancer risk.
- Look after number one – If you know what is normal for your body, it will be easier for you to notice changes that could be early signs of cancer. If you are worried about any changes, go see your doctor. And take part in cancer screening, it could save your life.
