For today’s blog, Dr. Paolo Boffetta puts the spotlight on how people live their lives, specifically a healthy and fit lifestyle. Because, after all, in such a serious battle like the one against cancer, every little bit helps.

It has been proven by science, on more occasions than a lot of people care to admit, just how effective a healthy and fit lifestyle can be against cancer. Dr. Paolo Boffetta adds that rather than just focusing on particular parts or organs of the body, it would be best for people to take a more holistic approach to health and fitness.

In addition to letting go or minimizing harmful habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol, people should try to modify their diets and exercise constantly. Not only will these steps towards a healthy and fit lifestyle delay or even prevent the onset of cancer and other diseases; they can also do wonders for one’s mind, Dr. Paolo Boffetta adds.

In conclusion, Dr. Paolo Boffetta says that there’s no debating science and the facts it has yielded over the centuries – and one of these facts is that being healthier and more fit makes you stronger against cancer.
