DOTHAN – Learn to lower your cancer risk by changing your eating habits. The Troy University Continuing Education Center will hold a Cancer Prevention workshop August 2 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Dothan Campus.

Every year, approximately 700,000 Americans die of cancer. A recent study indicates obesity, poor nutrition and lack of physical activity contribute to as many as one-third of the cancer cases in this country. During the seminar, Dr. Habiba Shaw, a nutrition and health education specialist, will share information about foods which may help lower your risk.

The one-day course is designed for nurses (RN/LPN), social workers, dietary personnel, extension agents, caregivers, health educators, pharmacists and anyone interested in learning more about cancer. Participants will qualify for healthcare CEU’s.
