This Is What Experts Do to Prevent Cancer

Get enough exercise

Keith McCrae, M.D., an oncologist with Cleveland Clinic Cancer Institute, works long hours but fits in exercise six days a week. He loves road biking—25 to 30 miles most weekdays, more on weekends. A study in JAMA Internal Medicine found that people who did 1.25 hours of vigorous or 2.5 hours of moderate activity a week had a 31 percent lower risk of dying of cancer than those who didn’t work out. Exercise helps tame inflammation, possibly reducing cancer risk.

 

Order the fish

UCLA urologist Christopher Saigal, M.D., eats fish but not meat. A typical dinner is a salmon filet with brown rice and vegetables. Try it twice a week. “I tell patients that ‘heart healthy’ foods have been associated with a lower risk of developing prostate cancer and a lower risk of progression of prostate cancer after diagnosis,” he says. Plus, a U.K. study review linked red and processed meats with colorectal cancer.
