Being physically active is beneficial because it is a major contributor to our health, because it

prevents and conquers a lot of diseases. Many exercises help prevent a lot of cardio vascular diseases because exercise increases the blood flow to your heart and it strengthens your heart's contractions so that your heart pumps more blood with less work. Exercise also helps you control your weight so that can reduce your chances of getting conditions that damage the heart such as Diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Exercise also gets rid of stress, which can be a huge factor of getting heart attacks. Many types of cancers can be prevented just by exercising because regular physical exercise actually helps improve your immune system, and with a strengthened immune system can stop cancer in its tracks. Another theory why exercise can prevent cancer is that exercise increases the actions of the excretory system and the intestines. As a result, while harmful substances may still be coming into the body at the same rat, there is a faster excretion, so it stays in the body for a short amount of time, therefore, there's not enough time for cancer cells to take a hold of your body. Another theory why exercise can prevent various types of cancers is that people who exercise naturally grow good habits such as eating more healthily and staying fit because of their constant exercising, which prevents obesity which is a major factor in many forms of cancer,

All the diets I found online for cancer seem to be the same whether you have Ovarian Cancer or Lung Cancer. Some believe that diet may help to ward off any cancer, but there has not been enough studies really to claim that. They seem to agree you need to eat more fruits and vegetables, grains and stay away from red meat.

Do blue berries prevent cancer?

No. There is no evidence that blueberries alone prevent cancer. However, blueberries as part of a complete diet of whole unprocessed foods are an important source of antioxidants, macro and micro nutrients that synergistically contribute to maximum cellular health. Healthy cells do not become cancerous. To prevent cancer, eat a balanced diet of whole unprocessed foods, eliminate all toxins from your internal and external environment, get plenty of sleep, exercise daily and maintain a balanced state of mind.
