Lifestyle changes like increasing physical activity and reducing consumption of processed foods, sugar-sweetened beverages and alcohol could reduce the risk of developing cancer.

We know it can be hard to put yourself – and your health – first, but making time to eat well and exercise can help lower your risk for cancer. So, this Women’s Health Week, make yourself and your health a priority.
