Although one cannot know how cancer come about in their body, you can take measure to keep healthy and possible cancer away from ones body. one must be as lean as possible without become overweight. Be physically active for at least 30 minutes everyday. Avoid sugery drinks and limit consumption of high calorie foods, especially those low in fiber and rich in fat or added suger. Eat more of variety of vegetable fruits, whole grains and legumes. limit consumption of red meats and avoid process meats. and probable one will be safe.

Whilst I think your suggestions are sensible for many health issues and medical opinion would support the idea that following those guidelines could reduce one's risk, I am sure we all know people who have stuck to those ideals but still lost their lives to cancer. I think its wise to take all those precautions but there are no guarantees.

Science is progressing. There are guarantees now. But it's precautions that give guarantee. If the disease has started, there is no way to cure it. Even if there is, chances are low. But still you can't say there is no guarantee. Just check my response for more info. Best of Luck!!

Well I do agree in that idea, keeping our body well maintained is like protecting us or preventing us from developing cancer or some certain disease that can affect our body. I also believed that exercise plays a great role in maintaining our body healthy.

I must agree with your discussion. Actually, right now I am avoiding red meat, processed meat, fatty foods and softdrinks. I just eat vegetables, fruits, seafoods and fish. I am trying to maintain weight as much as possible.

yes, we must be careful of what we eat to prevent being sick. The same goes for cancer. I always encourage my family to eat food which contains antioxidants because antioxidants also help prevent cancer. Although I've heard that patients (with cancer) being treated with chemotherapy and the like, should not eat food that contains antioxidants because it might prevent the medicines/chemicals from working.

Cancer is caused due to various problems. Most of them are genetic reasons. These can be prevented to a great extent. Most of the reasons are told in 'How to prevent Aging' an ebook written by a think-tank named Dextral SOlutions. It's only for 10$ and you can get a copy from lulu.com. It can be prevented by some exercises and habits. These actually has an impact on aging and cancer. They have said it based on their researches.
