6 Ways You Can Prevent Cancer Right Now
A third of the 565,000 cancer deaths expected in 2008 could have been preventable -- with healthy eating and regular exercise. According to the American Cancer Society, most Americans (83 percent) know that they can cut their risk of cancer by eating right and exercising but they're not doing anything about it. It's time for you to take charge and fight cancer. Here's how.

Thirty percent of cancer deaths could be prevented if patients exercised regularly. No matter what your fitness level, walking is the easiest way to start an exercise regimen.
