Colore**al cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for men and women combined, after lung cancer. So, if you don’t smoke, colon and re**al cancer may be your greatest cancer nemesis.

We can drop our risk of getting it by about a fifth with a single dietary tweak: Cut a serving of processed meat out of our daily diet. Not just colon and re**al cancers either.

Cholesterol isn’t all bad—it’s essential for building cells and hormones. But too much of the wrong kind can build up in your arteries and raise your risk of heart disease. Want to protect your heart? Know your numbers: keep LDL low, HDL healthy, and don’t forget about triglycerides—high levels can be a silent risk factor, too.
