The charity held the parliamentary healthy living day to raise awareness of the impact of obesity in increasing a person's cancer risk and the importance of maintaining a healthy weight.
"At this time of year many of us do focus on how to improve our health. It is important to recognise that there are simple steps we can all take to live healthier lives and reduce our risk of developing cancer."
"It is a real challenge that such a large percentage of the British population do not realise that half of all cases of cancer can be prevented by lifestyle changes.
"You can maintain a healthy body weight by eating a balanced diet and taking regular exercise."
