A recent National Cancer Awareness Survey commissioned by the Bayer Consumer Care, has found that most of the Americans consider cancer as their number one health concern, but less than one-third of them attribute their personal cancer risk to their own unhealthy lifestyle behaviors - such as poor nutrition, lack of exercise and weight gain.

Experts stress that a healthy lifestyle can help lower the risk of cancer -- and cite simple things people can do, such as taking a multivitamin each day. Multivitamins provide the needed vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to boost your health. But they emphasize that it's important to take the right vitamin. Women should be talking a once-daily multivitamin that includes vitamin D to support breast health, while men should be taking a once-daily multivitamin that includes lycopene and selenium to promote prostate health.

This video talks more about this survey and what common people should do to lower their risk of cancer.
