Red and Processed Meat: High intake of red and processed meat is linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Alcohol Consumption: Even moderate alcohol consumption can increase the risk of certain cancers, such as breast cancer. Physical Activity: Regular physical activity is protective against several types of cancer, particularly colon and breast cancer.
