Hey there! Did you know that taking care of your health today can help you avoid big problems later on? 😊 China has just released a new version of their Essential Cancer Prevention & Care Guide to help people learn how to prevent cancer!
What Is Cancer?
Cancer happens when bad cells in your body grow too much and can make you very sick. But the good news is, many types of cancer can be prevented! 🎉
How Can We Prevent Cancer?
- Eat Healthy Foods: Lots of fruits, veggies, and whole grains can keep your body strong. 🍎🥦
- Stay Active: Playing sports or even just dancing around helps keep you fit. 🏀🏃♀️
- Keep a Healthy Weight: Not too heavy, not too light—just right! This helps reduce the risk of 13 types of cancer. ⚖️
- Don’t Smoke or Drink Alcohol: These can hurt your body in the long run. Say no to smoking and drink lots of water instead! 🚰
- Get Vaccinated: Some vaccines can protect you from things that might cause cancer. Make sure to get your shots on time. 💉
- Don’t Share Personal Items: Items like toothbrushes or razors should not be shared to keep germs away. 🪥
What Is BMI?
BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It’s a number that tells us if we are at a healthy weight. In China, a healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 24. 📏
Why Is This Guide Important?
The guide was shared before China’s National Cancer Prevention and Awareness Week, which happens every year from April 15 to 21. The theme for 2025 is “Prevent Cancer Scientifically, Live a Healthy Life.” 🗓️
Let’s All Stay Healthy!
By making smart choices every day, we can keep ourselves and our loved ones healthy. So let’s eat right, stay active, and be happy! 🌟
