Healthy Eating

  • Meeting Room 48 Frederick Street Launceston, TAS, 7250 Australia (map)

You can lower your risk of cancer by enjoying a healthy diet, being physically active every day and maintaining a healthy body weight. Studies show being overweight, physically inactive and not eating well increases your risk of developing cancer.

Healthy eating is a first step in reducing your cancer risk. Poor eating habits increase your risk of cancer at many sites in the body. Poor eating habits can also contribute to weight gain, and being overweight or obese increases your risk of cancer. The good news is that a healthy diet, combined with regular physical activity and a healthy body weight can reduce cancer risk.

While there is no one food that can protect against cancer, there are steps you can take to lower your overall risk. A healthy diet may protect against cancers including cancer of the bowel, liver, oesophagus (food pipe), lung and stomach.

Sophie van der Kley from the Cancer Council will share information & resources to help you make great choices for your health & wellbeing.

A food platter will be provided for your enjoyment.

For this session to take place a minimum of 5 people will be required.
