2: Be Active

Be physically active for at least 30 minutes each day. Certainly increased activity will help with weight management, but it does much more than that. Just by introducing regular physical activity into your regimen, you lower the risk of cancer. It improves digestive function, bolsters the immune system and allows for stable levels of hormones. Choose activities you enjoy and gradually work on increasing the time you spend exercising.
