Research suggests that around half of all cancers diagnosed in the UK could be prevented by changes to lifestyle. Cancer Research UK's Reduce the Risk campaign highlights five important ways you can lower your cancer risk.

  • Stop smoking
    It's the best present you'll ever give yourself.
  • Stay in shape
    Be active and keep a healthy body weight.
  • Eat & drink healthily
    Limit alcohol and choose a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables
  • Be SunSmart
    Protect yourself in the sun and take care not to burn
  • Look after number one
    Know your body and see your doctor about anything unusual We can all do something to improve our lifestyle and reduce our risk of cancer.
