China just dropped a lifesaving handbook! The Essential Cancer Prevention & Care Guide, released ahead of National Cancer Prevention and Awareness Week (April 15-21), is packed with science-backed tips to slash cancer risks.
Here's the lowdown:
Lifestyle Hacks That Matter
Ditch the cigs , cut the booze
, and move that body
—these changes could prevent many cancers, says Chongqing University Cancer Hospital's Wu Yongzhong. Bonus tip: Keep your BMI between 18.5–24 (check yours with a quick online calculator!).
Small Changes, Big Impact
Did you know being overweight hikes your risk for 13+ cancers? The guide recommends:
- Vaccinate on schedule
- Swap sugary snacks for whole foods
- Avoid sharing toothbrushes/hygiene items (yes, really!)
Why This Matters
With the 2025 theme 'Prevent Cancer Scientifically, Live a Healthy Life', China's pushing early screenings and smarter habits. As CACO's Tian Yantao says: 'Your daily choices are your superpower.'
