Healthy Living Can Prevent Nearly 25% of Colorectal Cancers

(HealthDay News) -- As many as 23 percent of colorectal cancers could be prevented if people followed five simple healthy lifestyle recommendations, Danish researchers say.

• At least 30 minutes of exercise a day.
• No more than seven drinks a week for women and 14 for men.
• Not smoking.

• A waist size no more than 34.6 inches for women and 40.1 inches for men. Read more...
