“A healthy lifestyle includes things such as eating a healthy diet, being physically active, maintaining a healthy body weight, improving your psychological wellbeing, protecting yourself from the sun, stopping smoking or cutting down on alcohol”
I’m the only one in my family who has never smoked, is in the healthy weight range, drinks the least alcohol, has the best fitness, avoids the sun - even has low vitamin D levels, yet, the only one to get Breast cancer, at 42.
I’m concerned this topic is too narrow. It implies you can cause your own cancer. Or, not do enough to avoid it. Even though it is aimed at people already diagnosed with cancer, and reducing reoccurrence, there is nothing different from what is recommended for everyone. Healthy lifestyle as described isn’t the golden ticket to a cancer free life :'(
