WHEN it comes to cancer, the statistics are stark – half of us are predicted to develop the disease in our lifetime.
Go Fishing
ALTHOUGH it is not to everyone’s liking, fish is a food must-have. The Mediterranean diet, which emphasises fish, has long been touted as the "best in the world", reducing the risk of several diseases.
Sun Sure
EXPOSURE to UV rays is the key cause of skin cancer, which means most melanoma cases in the UK are preventable.
Full of Fibre
MOST of us don’t eat the recommended 30g of fibre per day. High-fibre diets have been linked to a reduced risk of colorectal cancer.
Booze-Free Days
QUITTING alcohol entirely would be ideal for optimal health, but even cutting down is beneficial.
50/50 Meat
PROCESSED meats have been linked to an increased risk of certain cancers, particularly bowel.
Prioritise Sleep
WHILE the evidence is not conclusive, some studies link poor sleep to cancer.
Berry Nice
DITCH the biscuits for a bowl of mixed berries next time you fancy a sweet snack.
Stub it Out
SMOKING is a huge contributor to cancer including mouth, throat, stomach, colon, rectum, liver, pancreas, lung and several others too.
Safe Sex
OLDER people need to keep on top of their sexual health just as much as the youngsters, as figures show sexually transmitted infections are rising in over-50s.
