Cancer scientists at the The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center say that by simply eating 4 or more servings of green salad a week, and doing their gardening once or twice a week, people (both smokers and non-smokers) will be able to substantially reduce their risks of developing lung cancer during their lifetimes. This is a matter of doing physical exercise by gardening, and having good nutrition by eating green salads and other healthy meals.

Michele R. Forman, lead author of the study at M. D. Anderson's Department of Epidemiology quotes, "This is the first risk prediction model to examine the effects of diet and physical activity on the possibility of developing lung cancer. Ms. Forman presented the results of the research study at American Association for Cancer Research in Philadelphia. More than 3800 participants were studied in clinical trials conducted by the M. D. Anderson case-control lung cancer study foundation. Each patient's diet was considered and examined if the patient consumed green salad or did any gardening atleast once a week.
