This was on BBC news the other day.

Apparently eating well, drinking in moderation, not smoking and regular exercise reduce the risk of cancer.

When interviewed, man hiding under rock expressed surprise and gratitude for the update.



eating well

I'm not sure "eating well" has the same meaning for everybody. :) Perhaps we should say "eating safely" or something.


Interestingly though, the article doesn't directly mention exercise. Obviously, obesity and lack of exercise are related, but I'm surprised that exercise isn't helpful in its own right. Or maybe the study or the article just didn't cover it, which I would find rather surprising as well.


Not to mention reduction in heart disase, joint pain, shortness of breath and the quality of life.

Which is why so few people do it.
