#4 – Watch Your Cigarettes and Alcohol
If you are drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, you are increasing your risk of cancer. More than two drinks a day and you put yourself at a risk of various types of cancers, including cancer of the breast, lungs, kidneys, liver and colon. Keep in mind that this risk increases as the length of time you have been drinking increases. So, cut down your alcohol intake and drink in moderation from now.
While you can still enjoy the occasional drink, you should definitely quit smoking. Smoking increases your chances of getting cancer of the lungs, bladder, cervix and kidney. So, if you are smoking, quit now. In fact, tobacco in any form puts you at risk for cancer. This means that you should also avoid chewing tobacco and exposing yourself to secondhand cigarette smoke.
