The things that can be done to prevent/reduce cancer include:

The truth is that being overweight increases your risk of many cancers, while maintaining a healthy weight lowers your risk of different types of cancer such as prostate, breast, kidney, lung and colon.
2. Regular Check Ups
There are no symptoms in the early stages of cancer, regular checkup can help you catch cancers when they are still small and concentrated in one area and that is often the easiest way to treat it.
3. Eat Healthy
Nowadays we are very busy and we don't pay attention to what we eat. Long time ago when we ate healthy without processed foods we never heard of cancer. This fast modern way of life has had a negative impact on our health. There are studies showing that eating fruits and vegetables, fish and whole grands is linked to a lower cancer risk.
It is recommended by the American Cancer Society:
