                                                                 TIPS
*Parents should instill healthy eating habits in their children from a young age.
*The best way to prevent cancer is to find a healthy level of moderation in your life when it comes to both food and physical activity. Constantly depriving yourself of foods and drinks that you love will take a lot of the joy out of life. Learn to be healthy but enjoy yourself at the same time.
*Always be wary of packaged foods that claim to be "natural" or "fat-free." This doesn't necessarily mean they are healthy; in fact, many of them still contain harmful chemicals.
*Early detection is key in preventing the spread of cancer. You should have routine checkups with your primary care physician.
