Healthy Eating and Active Living Research Highlights

Obesity, lack of physical activity, and poor diet are major risk factors for cancer – second only to tobacco use. According to Cancer Facts and Figures 2020, about 18% of all cancers diagnosed in the US are related to excess body weight, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, and unhealthy diet, and thus could be prevented.

Diet and Physical Activity Guidelines Update

In 2020, the American Cancer Society updated the Diet and Physical Activity Guidelines for Cancer Prevention that recommend:

• All people get to and stay at a healthy weight throughout life.
• Children, teens, and adults be physically active.
• People of all ages follow a healthy eating pattern.
• It’s best not to drink alcohol.
