A joint American/British study out today states that 1 out of 3 cancer cases can be prevented by a healthy lifestyle. This is just common sense. Americans can't continue to eat fast food and not exercise. Then they wonder why they are sick and unhealthy. I can't even tolerate the smell of a fast food restaurant let alone put that stuff in my body.
Here are some of the recommendations, taken directly from the news release:
Governments should build walking and cycling routes.
The food and drinks industry should make public health an "explicit priority."
Schools should encourage exercise and provide healthy food.
Schools, workplaces and institutions should remove junk food from vending machines.
Health professionals should provide more information about healthy living and cancer prevention.
People should use nutrition guides and food labels to buy healthier food for their families.
