Poor diet and smoking are two major avoidable causes of cancer in the UK. That's why iVillage is supporting the campaign by Cancer Research UK and Tesco by bringing you tips and advice on how to reduce the cancer risk for you and your family.

The experts recommend eating a healthy diet, which includes at least five portions of different fruit and vegetables a day. That's often easier said than done. But with advice for picky children, handy veggie shortcuts and delicious recipes, iVillage can help you maintain a healthy diet for all of you?
