雖然醫學越來越進步，但是我們所知道的，都是有限的，不斷有新的研究報告，推翻以前的一些舊的醫學觀念。以下的這幾點我非常地認同，也都照著做。

Several Johns Hopkins experts participated in the World Cancer Research Fund - American Institute for Cancer Research report Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: A Global Perspective, published in November 2007, which is considered by cancer prevention experts to be an authoritative source of information on diet, physical activity and cancer. Their recommendations for cancer prevention and for good health in general are:

1. Be as lean as possible without becoming underweight.
2. Be physically active for at least 30 minutes every day.
3. Avoid sugary drinks. Limit consumption of energy-dense foods (particularly processed foods high in added sugar, or low in fiber, or high in fat).
4. Eat more of a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes such as beans.
5. Limit consumption of red meats (such as beef, pork and lamb) and avoid processed meats.
6. If consumed at all, limit alcoholic drinks to 2 for men and 1 for women a day.
7. Limit consumption of salty foods and foods processed with salt (sodium).
8. Don't use supplements to protect against cancer.

Our experts recommend that people meet their nutritional needs through their food choices. While vitamin supplements can be helpful in people with nutritional deficiencies, evidence suggests that supplementation above what the body can use provides no added health benefit.

1. 在沒有低於體重標準的情況之下，越瘦越好。
2. 每一天至少活動身體三十分鐘。
3. 避免喝甜的飲料。限制高熱量的食物（特別是加工食品，含高糖、低纖維、高脂肪的食物）。
4. 多吃各種蔬菜、水果、全穀類和豆莢類。
5. 限制吃紅肉（舉例：牛肉、豬肉、羊肉），並且避免加工食品。
6. 假如有喝酒的習慣，一天男性最多兩杯，女性最多一杯。
7. 限制吃鹹的食物，和鹽加工的食品。
8. 不要使用營養補充品來抗癌。

我們的專家鼓勵大家，藉著他們所吃的食物來獲取他們營養上的需要。維他命可以幫助營養不良的人，但是事實證明，過量的補充營養並不會幫助身體更加健康。
