New evidence shows that sticking to five lifestyle recommendations improves survival after a later cancer diagnosis.
The findings provide encouraging evidence that simple, achievable habits established before a cancer diagnosis can play a role in improving long-term health and the health of those following a cancer diagnosis.
The Cancer Prevention Recommendations analysed in this study include:
- Be a healthy weight
- Be physically active
- Eat wholegrains, vegetables, fruit and beans
- Limit red and processed meat
- Limit alcohol consumption
The latest research led by Newcastle University, UK, published in Cancer was funded by Wereld Kanker Onderzoek Fonds, (WKOF) – the Netherlands-based charity within the World Cancer Research Fund International network of charities that also includes World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research.
