Summary:

• **Many Cancers Can Be Prevented by Making Healthy Choices**: Scientists have discovered that more than 40% of cancers are caused by things people can actually control, like smoking, drinking too much alcohol, eating unhealthy foods, and not exercising enough. This means that by making better choices about how we live, we can help prevent ourselves from getting cancer.

• **Small Changes in Daily Habits Make a Big Difference**: Just like brushing your teeth helps prevent cavities, doing simple things like eating more fruits and vegetables, staying active, avoiding cigarettes and alcohol, and maintaining a healthy weight can greatly reduce your chances of getting sick with cancer. Scientists study these habits to help people understand what they can do to stay healthier and live longer.
