Research suggests that a significant percentage of cancers may be preventable through healthy lifestyle choices. While no strategy can eliminate cancer risk entirely, adopting evidence-based habits can substantially reduce your risk and improve overall health and longevity.
10 Evidence-Based Principles for Cancer Prevention
- Avoid tobacco in all forms. Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of cancer.
- Maintain a healthy body weight. Excess body fat is associated with an increased risk of multiple cancer types.
- Be physically active. Regular exercise supports immune function, helps regulate hormones, reduces inflammation, and lowers cancer risk.
- Eat a nutrient-dense, plant-forward diet. Emphasize vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and other minimally processed foods.
- Limit alcohol consumption. Even moderate alcohol intake has been linked to an increased risk of several cancers.
- Protect yourself from unnecessary radiation exposure. Follow recommended screening guidelines and minimize avoidable exposure to ultraviolet and ionizing radiation.
- Reduce exposure to environmental and occupational carcinogens. Avoid known cancer-causing substances whenever possible, including asbestos, benzene, and other hazardous chemicals.
- Prevent cancer-related infections. Vaccination and preventive measures can reduce the risk of cancers associated with HPV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and other infections.
- Prioritize quality sleep. Adequate sleep supports immune health, hormone regulation, recovery, and overall wellness.
- Maintain optimal vitamin D levels. While research continues to evolve, maintaining healthy vitamin D levels is an important component of overall health and may play a role in supporting immune function.
While genetics influence cancer risk, daily lifestyle choices remain among the most powerful tools we have for cancer prevention, improved survivorship, and long-term health.
Optimal health is about far more than simply surviving cancer—it is about thriving beyond it. Through a personalized survivorship roadmap, Andrea Leonard will help you build the foundation for lifelong health, recovery, and resilience.
Drawing upon more than three decades of experience as a cancer survivor, oncology exercise pioneer, and functional nutrition expert, Andrea combines evidence-based exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies to help improve energy, increase strength, enhance physical function, support immune health, and elevate overall quality of life.
Your individualized plan will be designed to address your unique medical history, treatment-related challenges, goals, and lifestyle. Together, you will work to reduce the risk of common cancer-related comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, lymphedema, functional decline, and future cancers, while helping you regain confidence in your body and your future.
While genetics influence health outcomes, research continues to demonstrate that lifestyle factors—including nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and environmental exposures—play a significant role in shaping long-term health and wellness. You have more control over your health than you may realize.
Andrea’s mission is to provide you with the knowledge, tools, accountability, and personalized guidance needed to make informed decisions, optimize your health, and live your strongest, healthiest, and most vibrant life after cancer.
