Hey folks! In an inspiring move ahead of National Cancer Prevention and Awareness Week (April 15-21), China has released an updated version of its Essential Cancer Prevention & Care Guide. This practical handbook is packed with tips to help empower everyone to take charge of their health. 🚀
Top experts like Wu Yongzhong from Chongqing University Cancer Hospital and Tian Yantao from the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association stress that cancer can be prevented by managing risk factors. They recommend a balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight. For context, a normal BMI is between 18.5 and 24; a BMI between 24 and 28 is considered overweight, and 28 or higher is classified as obese.
In addition to weight management, the guide suggests getting vaccinated on time, quitting smoking and drinking, reducing sugar in your diet, and avoiding the sharing of personal hygiene items. These everyday steps can make a big difference!
This initiative not only educates but also encourages early screenings and timely medical care for high-risk groups. So, whether you're a student, a young professional, or just starting to navigate your future, these practical tips are here to help you lead a healthier, happier life. Let's embrace small changes for a brighter tomorrow! 😊
