Seven Steps to Health

Protect yourself and your family. By knowing and acting on these Seven Steps to Health, you can help prevent cancer:

1. Choose to be a non-smoker and avoid second-hand smoke.

2. Choose a variety of lower-fat, high fibre foods. Maintain a healthy body weight and limit your alcohol intake.

3. Protect yourself and your family from the sun. Practice regular skin examinations and report any changes immediately.

4. Regularly scheduled Pap tests and mammograms, according to age, are vital. Practice monthly breast self-examination.

5. See your doctor and dentist regularly for checkups.

6. Be aware of changes in your normal state of health.

If you discover a lump or a mole that has changed, or a sore that won’t heal, check with your doctor immediately.

7. At home and at work, follow health and safety instructions when using hazardous materials.

8. Consult your local Cancer Society for more information.
