Awareness is the first step to making a difference. --slogan used for National Cancer Awareness Day 2023
February is National Cancer Prevention Month which focuses on the things we can control to lessen our odds of developing cancer.
- Regular exercise
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Eating healthy foods
- Quitting or never starting smoking
- Limiting alcohol use
Don't forget about routine checkups, treating or preventing other health conditions, and knowing your risk factors. We can't stop every form of cancer yet, but we do have the tools to decrease our risk factors.
More information can be found here: Cancer Prevention Information. We have also included their 30-day checklist.
