A leading health body has warned that lifestyles dominated by little exercise and lots of processed food is fuelling obesity and a dramatic increase in cancer rates worldwide.
The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) has issued nine tips to help the public prevent cancer, and their round-up includes switching sugary drinks for water, ditching processed meat like bacon, walking more and sitting less.

So, what can we be doing to try and prevent it?
