Think Positively!: Cancer does run in the families, yet more than 50% of us will not face this diagnosis during our life time. So you should be cautious and adopt a healthy life style which can minimize your risk of developing Cancer. You must: Keep your weight healthy, eat healthy, plant- based foods(avoid red meat and processed meats) and minimize animal fats from dairy products). Lastly you must exercise daily
