- Being a healthy weight
- Being physically active
- Eating wholegrains, vegetables, fruit and beans
- Limiting red and processed meat

The research was led by Newcastle University and published (28 in Cancer. The Recommendations were developed in 2018 by World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR). Although previous research in cancer survivors has indicated some positive effects, this study provides the most comprehensive evidence yet of their association with improved survival for people living with and beyond cancer.
