When it comes to cancer there are no guarantees. However, there are choices you can make to significantly reduce your risks.
- Focus on fiber—Eat foods rich in fiber, especially those made with whole grains, to help reduce the risk of several cancers.
- Find healthy fats—Meals containing olive oil or fish help protect against cancer, and avoiding fat from meat (especially processed and very well done meat), dairy, and processed foods may decrease cancer risk.
- Go vegetarian—Lower cancer risk by eating plenty of fruits, whole grains, legumes, and vegetables (especially tomatoes and cruciferous vegetables like cabbage), which help to optimize body weight, immune function, and hormone regulation, and to avoid meat-related carcinogens.
- Avoid alcohol—Use alcoholic beverages in moderation or not at all to reduce the risk of many cancers.
- Get regular checkups—Many cancers can be prevented or discovered in the early stages with screening tests available through your doctor.
