Reducing Cancer Risk
The Otago & Southland Division of the Cancer Society works collaboratively with other community groups to advocate to healthy public policy, promote healthy lifestyle choices and supportive environments. There is good evidence the following help reduce the risk of developing some cancers and chronic diseases and so we encourage:
- Smokefree - people and environments
- SunSmart - people and settings eg schools, workplaces
- Healthy eating
- Physical activity as part of everyday life
