Nutrition, Lifestyle and Prevention at Work

According to Cancer Research UK, there are around 375,000 new cancer cases in the UK every year — about 1,000 cases a day. And new research reveals 71% of workers with cancer in the UK fear telling their colleagues about their diagnosis.

Workplaces play a vital role: In supporting employees affected by cancer, in raising awareness, and in empowering people with evidence-based information on prevention.

This 60-minute workshop, led by a leading clinical nutritionist and published author, raises cancer awareness for employees and equips them with compelling evidence and practical advice on cancer prevention — including the nutrition and lifestyle factors that have the strongest evidence base behind them.

What this Cancer Awareness Workshop covers:

The different types of cancer
What causes cancer?
The evidence to date
Nutrition and cancer:
- Foods which have been linked with cancer: sugar, ultra-processed foods (UPFs), red and processed meats, artificial sweeteners
- Foods and nutrients that can help reduce your cancer risk and slow cancer progression
- The role of: Protein, alcohol, organic food, blood sugar balance and gut health
Lifestyle and cancer: The associated risks (sun exposure, smoking) and lifestyle tips to reduce risk
