flag Heart-healthy habits cut cancer death risk by 38% over 15 years, per a study of 779 Italian adults.

flag A new study of 779 Italian adults with cancer finds that heart-healthy habits—like exercise, a balanced diet, not smoking, and managing weight and blood pressure—significantly improve survival. flag Over 15 years, those with healthier lifestyles had a 38% lower risk of death, and each one-point increase in the American Heart Association’s Life’s Simple 7 score linked to a 10% drop in cancer mortality. flag Following a Mediterranean diet strengthened these benefits, including for cardiovascular deaths. flag Shared biological factors like inflammation and vitamin D levels may explain the connection, supporting integrated approaches to care that address both heart and cancer outcomes.
