Reduce the risk

Reduce the Risk campaign messages

Enjoy a healthy lifestyle!

More than one in three people in this country will get cancer. Cancer is most comon in people over 60. But the habits we adopt earlier in life can alter our risk - sometimes dramatically.

Half of all cancers could be prevented by changes to lifestyle

Stop smoking
This is the best present you will ever give yourself.

Stay in shape
Cut your cancer risk by keeping a healthy weight.

Eat and drink healthily
Limit alcohol and maintain a healthy diet to reduce your risk.

Be SunSmart
Protect yourself from the sun and harmful UV

Look after number one
Know your body, be aware of any changes and contact your doctor if you notice anything unusual.
