Take in some sunshine.

Although sunburns can damage DNA and lead to skin cancer, it's still important to get out and enjoy a sunny day. Studies show that people living at higher latitudes (where the sun doesn't always shine) are at greater risk of developing 15 different kinds of cancer than people who live closer to the equator and routinely get more sun. That list of cancers includes some of the most dangerous kinds, like breast, lung, lymphoma, pancreatic, and prostate.

A study of over 29,500 Swedish women in 2016 showed that those who get out and enjoy the sun regularly are less likely to die from all kinds of causes, including cancer.
