Lifestyle Affects Cancer Risk, continued.....

Continuing from the previous post from August 24, 2009, the February 2009 results of the joint American-British study also made recommendations for policy improvements to governments, industries, media, schools, workplaces and humanity. They are as follows:

• Government 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.
