Despite the current advancements in cancer medication, prevention is still the best way to control and manage the disease. According to scientists from the Harvard School of Public Health, up to 75% of cancer deaths can be prevented.

Here’s what you can do to minimize your risk:

• Eat a Proper Diet
  High amounts of saturated fats and red meat in your diet can increase a patient’s risk of colon cancer and prostate cancer. Instead of these, try filling up on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
• Avoid Tobacco
  Smoking is the leading cause of cancer worldwide; this includes secondhand smoke. If you smoke, now might be the time to consider stopping.
• Exercise Regularly
  People who are overweight or obese are more likely to develop colon cancer than those who aren’t. Exercise is a great way to maintain a healthy weight. Ask your medical clinic in Ghana, Africa for advice on the best routines you can try.
• Avoid Exposure to Environmental Toxins
  Be wary of the following materials: asbestos fibers, benzene, aromatic amines, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
