And they\u2019re not as complicated as you might think.<\/p>\n<p>So take control of your health, and encourage your family to do the same. Choose one or two of the behaviors below to start with. Once you\u2019ve got those down, move on to the others.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Mantenga un peso saludable<\/h2>\n<p>Keeping your weight in check is often easier said than done, but a few simple tips can help. First off, if you\u2019re overweight, focus initially on not gaining any more weight. This by itself can improve your health. Then, when you\u2019re ready, try to take off some extra pounds for an even greater health boost. To see where you fall on the weight range,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesjewish.org\/healthlibrary\/default.aspx?id=0&amp;ContentTypeID=41&amp;ContentID=BMICalc&amp;pTitle=search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Consejos<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Integrate physical activity and movement into your life.<\/li>\n<li>Consuma una dieta rica en frutas, verduras y cereales integrales.<\/li>\n<li>Elija porciones m\u00e1s peque\u00f1as y coma m\u00e1s lentamente.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For Parents and Grandparents<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Limit children\u2019s TV and computer time.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage healthy snacking on fruits and vegetables.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage activity during free time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. Haga ejercicio con regularidad<\/h2>\n<p>Few things are as good for you as regular physical activity. While it can be hard to find the time, it\u2019s important to fit in at least 30 minutes of activity every day. More is even better, but any amount is better than none.<\/p>\n<h3>Consejos<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose activities you enjoy. Many things count as exercise, including walking, gardening and dancing.<\/li>\n<li>Make exercise a habit by setting aside the same time for it each day. Try going to the gym at lunchtime or taking a walk regularly after dinner.<\/li>\n<li>Stay motivated by exercising with someone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For Parents and Grandparents<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Play active games with your kids regularly and go on family walks and bike rides when the weather allows.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage children to play outside (when it\u2019s safe) and to take part in organized activities, including soccer, gymnastics and dancing.<\/li>\n<li>Walk with your kids to school in the morning. It\u2019s great exercise for everyone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3. No fumes<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ve heard it before: If you smoke, quitting is absolutely the best thing you can do for your health. Yes, it\u2019s hard, but it\u2019s also far from impossible. More than 1,000 Americans stop for good every day.<\/p>\n<h3>Consejos<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep trying! It often takes six or seven tries before you quit for good.<\/li>\n<li>Talk to a health-care provider for help.<\/li>\n<li>Join a quit-smoking program. Your workplace or health plan may offer one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For Parents and Grandparents<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Try to quit as soon as possible. If you smoke, your children will be more likely to smoke.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t smoke in the house or car. If kids breathe in your smoke, they may have a higher risk of breathing problems and lung cancer.<\/li>\n<li>When appropriate, talk to your kids about the dangers of smoking and chewing tobacco. A health-care professional or school counselor can help.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>4. Consuma una dieta saludable<\/h2>\n<p>Despite confusing news reports, the basics of healthy eating are actually quite straightforward. You should focus on fruits, vegetables and whole grains and keep red meat to a minimum. It\u2019s also important to cut back on bad fats (saturated and trans fats) and choose healthy fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats) more often. Taking a multivitamin with folate every day is a great nutrition insurance policy.<\/p>\n<h3>Consejos<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Haga que las frutas y verduras formen parte de cada comida. Ponle fruta a tu cereal. Coma verduras como refrigerio.<\/li>\n<li>Choose chicken, fish or beans instead of red meat.<\/li>\n<li>Choose whole-grain cereal, brown rice and whole-wheat bread over their more refined counterparts.<\/li>\n<li>Elija platos elaborados con aceite de oliva o de canola, que tienen un alto contenido de grasas saludables.<\/li>\n<li>Cut back on fast food and store-bought snacks (like cookies), which are high in bad fats.<\/li>\n<li>Buy a 100 percent RDA multivitamin that contains folate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>5. Drink Alcohol Only in Moderation, If at All<\/h2>\n<p>Moderate drinking is good for the heart, as many people already know, but it can also increase the risk of cancer. If you don\u2019t drink, don\u2019t feel that you need to start. If you already drink moderately (less than one drink a day for women, less than two drinks a day for men), there\u2019s probably no reason to stop. People who drink more, though, should cut back.<\/p>\n<h3>Consejos<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Elija bebidas no alcoh\u00f3licas en comidas y fiestas.<\/li>\n<li>Evite ocasiones centradas en el alcohol.<\/li>\n<li>Talk to a health-care professional if you feel you have a problem with alcohol.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For Parents and Grandparents<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid making alcohol an essential part of family gatherings.<\/li>\n<li>When appropriate, discuss the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse with children. A health-care professional or school counselor can help.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>6. Protect Yourself from the Sun<\/h2>\n<p>While the warm sun is certainly inviting, too much exposure to it can lead to skin cancer, including serious melanoma. Skin damage starts early in childhood, so it\u2019s especially important to protect children.<\/p>\n<h3>Consejos<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Steer clear of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. (peak burning hours). It\u2019s the best way to protect yourself.<\/li>\n<li>Wear hats, long-sleeve shirts and sunscreens with SPF15 or higher.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t use sun lamps or tanning booths. Try self-tanning creams instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For Parents and Grandparents<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Buy tinted sunscreen so you can see if you\u2019ve missed any spots on a fidgety child.<\/li>\n<li>Set a good example for children by also protecting yourself with clothing, shade and sunscreen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>7. Prot\u00e9gete de las infecciones de transmisi\u00f3n sexual<\/h2>\n<p>Among other problems, sexually transmitted infections \u2013 like human papillomavirus (HPV) \u2013 are linked to a number of different cancers. Protecting yourself from these infections can lower your risk.<\/p>\n<h3>Consejos<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Aside from not having sex, the best protection is to be in a committed, monogamous relationship with someone who does not have a sexually transmitted infection.<\/li>\n<li>For all other situations, be sure to always use a condom and follow other safe-sex practices.<\/li>\n<li>Never rely on your partner to have a condom. Always be prepared.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For Parents and Grandparents<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>When appropriate, discuss with children the importance of abstinence and safe sex. A health-care professional or school counselor can help.<\/li>\n<li>Vaccinate girls and young women as well as boys and young men against HPV. Talk to a health professional for more information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>8. H\u00e1gase pruebas de detecci\u00f3n<\/h2>\n<p>There are a number of important screening tests that can help protect against cancer. Some of these tests find cancer early when they are most treatable, while others can actually help keep cancer from developing in the first place. For colorectal cancer alone, regular screening could save over 30,000 lives each year. That\u2019s three times the number of people killed by drunk drivers in the United States in all of 2011. Talk to a health care professional about which tests you should have and when.<\/p>\n<h2>Cancers that should be tested for regularly:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Colon and rectal cancer<\/li>\n<li>C\u00e1ncer de mama<\/li>\n<li>C\u00e1ncer de cuello uterino<\/li>\n<li>Lung cancer (in current or past heavy smokers)<\/li>\n<\/ul>"}],"custom_page_title":"","hide_right_sidebar":false,"flexible_content":[{"acf_fc_layout":"wysiwyg_content","section_title":"8 Ways to Stay Health and Prevent Cancer:","basic_wysiwyg_alignment_options":"left-align","basic_wysiwyg_background":"white","basic_wysiwyg_stackable":[],"basic_wysiwyg_fullwidth":[],"basic_wysiwyg_content":"<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/siteman.wustl.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/780619_SCC-PECaD-General-8-Ways_HI_Image-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-837258 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/siteman.wustl.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/780619_SCC-PECaD-General-8-Ways_HI_Image-210x300.jpg\" alt=\"Image shows ideas for 8ightways to stay healthy and prevent cancer\" width=\"210\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siteman.wustl.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/780619_SCC-PECaD-General-8-Ways_HI_Image-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/siteman.wustl.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/780619_SCC-PECaD-General-8-Ways_HI_Image-717x1024.jpg 717w, https:\/\/siteman.wustl.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/780619_SCC-PECaD-General-8-Ways_HI_Image-768x1097.jpg 768w, https:\/\/siteman.wustl.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/780619_SCC-PECaD-General-8-Ways_HI_Image-1075x1536.jpg 1075w, https:\/\/siteman.wustl.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/780619_SCC-PECaD-General-8-Ways_HI_Image-scaled.jpg 1434w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/siteman.wustl.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PECaD_2025_8Ways_General-Brochure_1up.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Download PDF in English<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Eight healthy behaviors can go a long way toward improving your health and lowering your risk of many cancers \u2013 as well as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and osteoporosis.
