Cancer Awareness, Life-Style & Nutrition
Many factors impact the development of cancer. Over the last 25 years, science has displayed that diet, body weight and physical activity —especially being overweight or obese—are leading risk factors for obtaining certain types of cancer. The main behavioral and environmental risk factors for cancer death in the world are related to diet and physical inactivity, use of addictive substances, sexual and reproductive health and exposure to air pollution and use of contaminated needles.
