In a refreshing move to boost public health, the Chinese mainland just unveiled China’s Essential Cancer Prevention & Care Guide—an all-in-one handbook packed with practical tips to beat cancer! Released ahead of National Cancer Prevention and Awareness Week (April 15-21), this guide is calling everyone to step up their lifestyle game. 🎮
Wu Yongzhong, Party secretary of Chongqing University Cancer Hospital, explains that managing risks like smoking, drinking, and unhealthy habits plays a key role in preventing many cancers. It turns out that small lifestyle changes can lead to big health wins!
Tian Yantao, head of the Science Popularization Department of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association, adds, "Maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly and keeping a healthy weight are key to cancer prevention." The handbook even breaks down the numbers: a healthy BMI is 18.5-24, 24-28 flags overweight, and 28 or above signals obesity—conditions linked to cancers such as colorectal, esophageal, and liver cancer.
Besides boosting diet and exercise, the guide advises on getting vaccines on time, quitting smoking and drinking, cutting sugar, and even not sharing personal hygiene items. With the 2025 theme, "Prevent Cancer Scientifically, Live a Healthy Life," it’s all about empowering every one of us to take charge of our health through early screenings and timely care.
So, young friends, it's time to level up your health routine and live that vibrant life. Stay informed, stay proactive, and let’s beat cancer together! 💪✨
