Too much sitting raises cancer risk

“I feel healthier today then I felt before I was diagnosed. I no longer have that false feeling of helplessness.“

“Thank you a hundred, maybe a thousand times more for the Anticancer Lifestyle Program. It has made a huge difference for me and my family.“

“Just completed the Anticancer Lifestyle program. Strongly encourage survivors, those looking to prevent cancer, those with risk factors, and really all of us to take this course. Most of us are unaware of how many risks exist, particularly from environmental factors. My favorite was the environment section. People get some nutrition, stress management, and exercise guidance but virtually no information about toxins and their impact.”

Prior research has shown that more than 50% of cancer deaths are preventable through healthy lifestyle choices, such as healthy diet, exercise and not smoking.
