Nutrition
Nutrition plays an important role in reducing the risk of some cancers. A diet that is made up for nutrient dense foods, that's lots of fruit and vegetables rather than energy dense foods that are high in sugar, salt and fat content will help you maintain a health body weight, stack the odds in your favour against certain cancers, and improve your general wellbeing.
