La Federaci\u00f3 Catalana d\u2019Entitats contra el C\u00e0ncer (FECEC)<\/strong> is organizing the 14th edition of the Setmana Catalana de la Prevenci\u00f3 del C\u00e0ncer (SECAPC)<\/strong> from September 26 to October 3. The motto of SECAPC is \u201cMenja sa i mou-te\u201d<\/strong> and its goal is to raise awareness among the population to adopt healthy lifestyles in accordance with the recommendations of the Codi Europeu contra el C\u00e0ncer<\/strong> to prevent the disease. This year, SECAPC focuses on debunking the myth that following a healthy and balanced diet is expensive.<\/p>\n\n

Goal #menjasaimoute25: healthy eating is not expensive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Among the population of our country, there is still a belief that following a healthy diet is not economical. However, various studies indicate that spending a lot of money to eat healthily can be avoided by following a series of basic tips. For example, choosing seasonal and local products; buying items in bulk instead of pre-packaged; avoiding pre-cooked foods; planning meals before shopping; looking for offers and comparing prices; and freezing products that will be consumed later, among other recommendations.<\/p>\n\n

Specifically, the 14th edition of the SECAPC focuses on debunking this belief and providing the general public with tips and recommendations on how to shop for healthy foods without overspending and while avoiding food waste.<\/p>\n\n

The European Code Against Cancer, in its 5th point, emphasizes the importance of following a balanced diet (rich in vegetables, fruit, cereals, and legumes, and low in sugars, fats, and processed foods) to reduce the risk of developing cancer.<\/p>\n\n

Likewise, the 4th point of the European Code Against Cancer emphasizes that physical activity, regardless of body weight, reduces the likelihood of developing colorectal cancer and, among women, breast and endometrial cancers, which are among the most common in Europe.<\/p>\n\n

It is estimated that, among Europeans, those who follow a healthy lifestyle according to cancer prevention recommendations have an 18% lower risk of developing cancer compared to those who do not follow these recommendations regarding lifestyle and body weight.<\/p>\n\n
