This.
I live in Belgium coming from Italy and it's scary how many people I know gets cancer here. Like someone i know every few months gets it (and I'm not talking about just old people. A couple guys i know got it in their 20s). And it's all people relatively healthy.
Compare that to Italy where nobody I know does any effort to be healthy, eats lots of red meat (we do like our pork meat but it's all local stuff), smoke, veggies just a small side dish, no sport at all and they still live longer, healthier lives.
The few people i know who got cancer there, were well over their 60s (and all of them eventually survived).
I'm talking about the region Umbria which is pretty pristine and barely industrialized.
This made me realize that the best thing you can do for your health is just picking the right place to live.
