Thursday, June 23, 2016 (HealthDay News) - A healthy lifestyle includes regular exercise and a healthy diet, may reduce the risk of developing cancer up to 45 percent, reduce finished a new review of the evidence.
The investigation also showed that people who followed the guidelines for the prevention of diet and cancer activity rose less likely to die of cancer at 61 percent, the researchers reported.
"Overall, we have seen, there is a large reduction in cancer or dying of cancer when [cancer prevention] Guidelines on," lead researcher Lindsay Kohler, a doctoral student in epidemiology at the University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of public told Health.
Healthy living is particularly effective in the prevention of breast, endometrium and colon, Kohler and his colleagues found the cancer.
decent life may increase the risk of breast cancer by 19 percent to 60 percent, endometrial cancer by 23 percent to 60 percent, and colon cancer in men and women 27 percent 52 percent reduce it reports.
"This type of cancer has been shown in other studies to be associated with obesity," said Kohler. "Most of these guidelines to help prevent obesity."
It is expected that nearly 1.7 million new cancer cases in the United States occur in 2016, and it is expected that nearly 596,000 people die from cancer, researchers said on background information.
Eating poorly, drinking too much alcohol, carrying too much weight and be a couch potato for more than 20 percent of cancer cases could be responsible, the researchers said.
To see if a healthy lifestyle lead less cancer cases and deaths, the researchers examined 12 studies, published by the effectiveness of prevention standards / World Cancer Research Fund Institute and the American Cancer Society American Cancer Research examined.
These guidelines recommend lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercise regularly, choosing whole grains over refined grains, limiting consumption of processed meat or red, avoiding excess alcohol and eat five or more servings of a colorful variety of fruits and vegetables daily ,
ignore health authorities that the results of these cancer prevention guidelines provide as hard as most of the benefits, said Marjorie McCullough, strategic director of nutritional epidemiology for the American Cancer Society.
"Really add the benefits," McCullough said. "The guidelines are based on the current data of what we know, to reduce the risk of cancer. Each of these elements are important. Other directives, the higher follow, the risk of cancer."
The included studies in the new review of the evidence to prove it, Kohler said.
For example, one study found that the risk of breast cancer assumed a person who has fallen from 11 per cent for each additional recommendation, he said. Someone food could reduce their risk by 11 percent, while the right diet and exercise could reduce the risk by 22 percent.
"Even following guidelines will make a difference," Kohler said.
Although these guidelines are to reduce the risk of cancer in general, some cancers respond not as good as others. The review found that did not seem to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer or prostate cancer, and it seemed only men to lung cancer in terms of benefits, Kohler said.
Kohler said that this kind of lifestyle changes have also demonstrated the overall health of a person to reduce heart disease and improve, so it is worth more to the cancer prevention.
"If you follow as many of these directives as you can that will improve your life in general," he said.
The results of the study were published online 23 June in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
