Always a good read, most cancers are environmental, and most of these are caused by obesity, bad diet and smoking/drinking, fix these four things in your life and you reduce your chances of getting cancer by 50%+

  And not just cancer. Top risk factors for dementia and heart disease are also diet, obesity, blood pressure, and lack of exercise.
  Basically, live healthily, and you'll have a (much!) happier and longer life.

    Throwing in blood pressure in the mix is interesting? That's not really something you can control isn't it?
