One a separate note, a research study was released today about cancer prevention. In a comprehensive review of cancers and lifestyle factors, it was determined that four factors - tobacco, alcohol, diet and obesity - cause about one-third of all cancers.
That means that just under half (about 40%) of cancers can be prevented and are not just related to genetics. Smoking is by far the biggest risk factor in both men and women. There were some gender differences in other risk factors.
Are you starting to think about a New Year's resolution? Maybe one of the above listed lifestyle factors could make the biggest improvement in your health over a lifetime.
For more information, you can read one of the news articles that was released today.
