Cancer is one of the leading causes of premature death in Canada, but there are several ways we can reduce our risk of developing it. First, we can eat better. For example, we can eat foods that are high in fibre and low in saturated fat, such as black beans and whole grain breads. In addition, we can be more active. Specifically, we can exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. Further, we can avoid smoking or being exposed to second-hand smoke. Finally, we can get screened for the types of cancer common to our gender. In particular, women can have mammograms to screen for breast cancer, while men can have PSA (prostate-specific antigen) tests to screen for prostate cancer. In short, by taking steps to reduce the risk of developing cancer, we can live longer, healthier lives.
