Your age (cancer can take decades to develop and that's why most people diagnosed with cancer are 65 or older), habits (smoking, drinking more than one alcoholic drink a day), family history (it's possible that mutations are being passed from one generation to the next), your health conditions (some chronic health conditions, such as ulcerative colitis, can markedly increase your risk of developing certain cancers) and your environment (environment around you may contain harmful chemicals that can increase your risk of cancer).

Even though physical activities improve both our energy and immunity in the long run, they are not as significant as maintaining well balanced diet in your life.
