Summary:
You have
cancer
. Three words no one ever wants to hear, yet each year, over a million people in the United States alone do. But what if there was a way for fewer people to hear these words? One of the biggest myths regarding
cancer
is that it's mostly genetic--meaning that you have no
control
over whether you get it. While genetics do have an impact, the truth is that
your
lifestyle and environment play the major role.
Take
Control
of
Your
Cancer
Risk
: A WebMD Essential Guide shares straightforward information and equips you with strategies to help you on a journey to better health, including: assessing
your
cancer
risk
, knowing which screenings you need, and when, learning the role food, exercise, and sleep play, understanding the relationship between stress and
cancer
. You have the power to reduce
your
cancer
risk--and this book will show you just how easy it is.
