π World Pancreatic Cancer Day π
Today, we stand together to raise awareness about pancreatic cancer and the importance of prevention and early detection.
3 Steps That May Help Reduce Your Risk:
π Don't Smoke - Smoking is one of the most significant risk factors for pancreatic cancer. If you smoke, talk to us about cessation programs and support. Quitting at any age makes a difference.
βοΈ Maintain a Healthy Weight - Obesity increases pancreatic cancer risk. Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Stay physically active with regular exercise.
π· Limit Alcohol Consumption - Heavy alcohol use is linked to increased pancreatic cancer risk. Moderation is keyβstick to recommended guidelines and consider alcohol-free alternatives.
Additional Tips: Know your family history, manage diabetes if you have it, and avoid exposure to certain chemicals in the workplace.
