To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.– Buddha
We all know that prevention is better than cure especially if we talk about cancer risk factors. There is a good news for you: according to new report of the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), a healthy lifestyle such as healthy diet and moderate exercises as well as keeping your body 
fat under control might prevent certain cancers in the US:
* 38 percent of breast cancers
* 45 percent of colorectal cancers
* 36 percent of lung cancers
* 39 percent of pancreatic cancers
* 47 percent of stomach cancers
* 69 percent of esophageal cancers
* 63 percent of cancers of the mouth, pharynx, or larynx
* 70 percent of endometrial cancers
* 24 percent of kidney cancers
* 21 percent of gallbladder cancers
* 15 percent of liver cancers
The WCRF/AICR report also includes tips for governments, industries, school, media, and other institutions worldwide to promote healthy lifestyles. Among those recommendations:
New developments should be designed to encourage walking and cycling.
Government and school cafeterias should provide healthy foods and drinks.
Food and drink industries should price healthy fare competitively with other products and stop promoting sugary drinks and unhealthy foods to kids.
Workplaces should have policies and environments that are supportive of breastfeeding.
Media should promote cancer prevention and flag misleading cancer claims. Read more at WebMD.com
