First, the good news: You probably won't get cancer. That is, if you
have a healthy lifestyle. "As many as 70% of known causes of cancers are
avoidable and related to lifestyle," says Thomas A. Sellers, PhD,
associate director for cancer prevention and control at Moffitt Cancer
Center in Tampa. Diet, exercise, and avoidance of tobacco products are,
of course, your first line of defense, but recent research has uncovered
many small, surprising ways you can weave even more disease prevention
into your everyday life. Try these novel strategies and your risk could
dwindle even more.
