Abstract

Cancer may become the cause of death due to lifestyle changes among adolescents. It is becoming widely understood that our lifestyle choices have a big impact on our likelihood of getting cancer. Numerous unavoidable risk factors are responsible for most malignancies; however, to lower the likelihood of getting cancer, we may alter our lifestyle. Having a balanced diet, controlling your weight, exercising regularly, abstaining from alcohol, and avoiding tobacco use are all examples of healthy lifestyle choices that can reduce your risk of acquiring cancer. Using information from human research, we give data in this chapter on the correlation between specific lifestyle factors and their contribution to the development of prostate, breast, colon, and lung cancers.
