A healthy lifestyle, combined with exercise and physical aktivitiy, can prevent cancer. Scientists have been able to show that a healthy diet and physical fitness reduce the risk of developing cancer. However, if you are overweight and have a sedentary lifestyle, it has been proven that the risk of cancer increases. An additional positive side effect of physical fitness is an improved tolerance to chemotherapy.
