Not long ago I posted the Five Top Steps to Good Health.
As an interesting follow-up, here’s what the Canadian Cancer Society had to recommend for their seven steps to prevent cancer (in red are those that were included in the Five Top Steps):
- Be a non-smoker and avoid second-hand smoke
- Eat 5-10 servings of fruit and vegetables each day. Choose high fibre, lower fat foods. If you drink alcohol, limit your intake to 1-2 drinks a day.
- Be physically active on a regular basis.
- Protect yourself and your family from the sun.
- Get yourself screened for common cancers.
- Visit your doctor or dentist if you notice any change in your normal state of health.
- Follow instructions when using, storing, and disposing of hazardous materials.
Here’s where you can find the CCS’s Recommendations.
