A recent article in WebMD states 7 steps to prevent the chances of cancer.
1. Don't smoke. If you smoke now, quit, and don't hesitate to seek help with the effort.
2. Lose extra weight.
3. Get regular physical activity.
4. Eat healthfully.
5. Limit unprotected time in the sun.
6. Follow recommendations for cancer screening.
7. Start as soon as possible.
I agree with these, but I am not worried so much about #5 as I feel the hype about the sun is a bit much. Gradual exposure and burn prevention is a good idea. The sun is the best source of vitamin D.
If one adopts a paleo or evolutionary based diet and exercise program, coupled with a carefully planned environment free from pollutants as much as possible will decrease the probabilities of cancer. I believe optimal gene expression occurs and the presence of phytomchemicals and other antioxidants in the diet prevent rogue cellular activity.
