Answer: Although humans cannot prevent all cancers, a healthy diet and weight followed by adequate exercise, sleep, and stress reduction all play a part in cancer reduction.
Cancer occurs when cells multiply uncontrollably and are not "cleaned up" by the body. We are dependent on our bodies recognizing and destroying old cells and foreign substances like toxins. When our body's fail to do this, either through stress, poor diet or being sedentary, cancer could result.
