Prevent cancer, is to give you the best chance possible to limit your risk of developing it. You can not control all the factors that may cause cancer - 'risk zero' does notexist, even with a lifestyle consistent with all of the recommendations - but you canact on some of them by preserving your health on a daily basis.
The four main risk factors for cancer are, in order, tobacco, alcohol, an unbalanced diet, lack of physical activity.
DO NOT SMOKE
Tobacco is at the top of all the risk factors for cancers and is the leading cause of preventable mortality: the annual number of deaths related to smoking in France is estimated at 78 000, with 47 000 deaths by cancer.
Quitting smoking is always beneficial for health, regardless of the amount consumed and the duration of consumption. More we stop early, faster we diminish their riskof cancer, particularly lung.
AVOID ALCOHOL
Alcohol is classified as carcinogenic (level 1) by the international agency for researchon cancer (IARC). It is estimated that in 2009, more than 15,000 cancer deaths wereattributable to alcohol. Using strongly increases the risk of developing certain cancers, especially of the aerodigestives channels.
To effectively reduce this risk, it is recommended to limit not only the amount of alcohol drunk at every opportunity of consumption, but also the frequency of these opportunities. It takes 10 years to stop alcohol consumption to decrease this risk. After20 years, it differs more significantly from that of people who never drank.
EAT BETTER

It is recommended to limit:
Red meat (less than 500 g per week);
charcuterie;
Salt: table salt, salt for cooking and foods preserved by salting promote cancer of the stomach.
Other behaviors have a protective effect against cancers:
prefer foods with low energy density, like fruits and vegetables, foods too rich in fat,sugar or salt.

focus on whole foods, which are high in fiber (rice, pasta, cereals...).
MOVE MORE
