6 New Year’s resolutions that could save your life.
More than 3500 Victorian lives could be saved by healthier lifestyles
Cancer Council Victoria is encouraging all Victorians to think long-term in making their New Year’s resolutions for 2012.
Cancer Council Victoria CEO Todd Harper said that making and keeping resolutions such as giving up smoking, exercising more and drinking less alcohol could significantly decrease the risk of serious illness including cancer.
“Resolving to exercise more or cut back on junk food has longer-term benefits. Many people don’t realise it, but more than a third of all cancers can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle. This equates to more than 3500 Victorians this year that would be alive to watch the fireworks with their families this New Year’s Eve,” Mr Harper said.
