Answer to Question 1

The ten recommendations for a cancer prevention lifestyle are:
maintain a healthy body weight throughout life
adopt a physically active lifestyle
adopt a healthy diet (emphasis on plant foods)
limit alcohol consumption
abstain from tobacco use
avoid exposure to occupational hazards
practice safe sun exposure
limit the consumption of charred, processed, or well-done meats
have your home periodically tested for radon
be aware of outdoor and indoor air quality

Answer to Question 2

Make a drawing of yourself. Include a full frontal view, a full back view, and close-up views of your head (both sides), the soles of your feet, the tops of your feet, and the backs of your hands.
After you get out of the bath or shower, examine yourself closely in a full-length mirror. On your sketch, make note of any moles, warts, or other skin marks you find anywhere on your body. Pay particular attention to areas that are exposed to the sun constantly, such as your face, the tops of your ears, and your hands.
Briefly describe each mark on your sketch-its size, color, texture, and so on.
Repeat the exam about once a month. Watch for changes in the size, texture, or color of moles, warts, or other skin marks. If you notice any difference, contact your physician. You also should contact a doctor if you have a sore that does not heal.
