The Winner: Both

The Reason: Eating a mostly plant-based diet and exercising regularly remain the gold standard for warding off cancer. Keep in mind: the more consistently you work out, the greater the protection.

Cervical cancer develops in the junction between the vagina and uterus – the cervix. “Nearly 100 percent of cervical cancers are caused by high-risk HPV,” says gynaecologic oncologist Dr Mark Einstein. There are over 100 strains of HPV, the majority of which are harmless; only two strains (16 and 18), which are usually sexually transmitted, are thought to cause over 70 percent of cervical cancer.

If left untreated, cervical cancer may require chemotherapy, radiation therapy or a full hysterectomy, and could result in infertility or even death.

While standing in front of a mirror, with your hands pressing firmly down on your hips, look at your breasts for any changes of size, shape, contour, or dimpling, or redness of the nipple or breast skin.

Gently squeeze the nipples and check for a discharge (may be clear or blood stained). If one occurs or you feel lump. Don’t panic call a doctor.

Use small circular motions to cover each area of the strip or circle. Go over each area three times using varying degrees of pressure.

Place a pillow under the shoulder of the breast you're examining. Keep the arm on that side raised. The exam is done while lying down. This is because when lying down the breast tissue spreads evenly over the chest wall and is as thin as possible, making it much easier to feel all the breast tissue.
