Synopsis

Your handbook for healthy living and reducing your cancer risk

This straightforward book of manageable tips provides you with strong motivation to stay focused on healthy habits for better living. Good For You! offers a practical and friendly approach for reducing your risk of developing cancer. It promotes simple yet thoughtful lifestyle choices that could dramatically lower your cancer risk--from the foods you eat to the screening tests you need. Although no book can prevent cancer, Good For You! provides research-based health and prevention recommendations from the experts at the American Cancer Society. Fun facts, quotes, tips, and quizzes throughout can help define the path that’s best for you.

"The information is available, right here, to help guide you in appropriate directions. I urge you to use this book as a ...‘hands-on’ guide, compass, and lighthouse to help you navigate through the stormy waters of understanding your cancer risk."
--From the Foreword by Edward T. Creagan, M.D., Mayo Clinic Medical School
