The National Cancer Institute has reported that about one-third of all cancer deaths are related to what we eat. The following tips will not only reduce your risk for developing cancer, they will also reduce your risk of developing heart disease.
Cancer Prevention Tip #1 - Maintain Your Ideal Weight
The American Cancer Society has reported that women who are 40 percent or more overweight are 55 percent more likely to develop cancer. Men who are 40 percent or more overweight are 33 percent more likely to develop cancer.
Cancer Prevention Tip #2 - Reduce Your Total Fat Intake
Saturated and unsaturated fats have both been attributed to the development of cancer. By reducing your fat intake to no more than 30 percent of the total calories coming from fat, you can reduce your risk of developing cancer.
Cancer Prevention Tip #3 - Increase Your Fiber Intake
The American Cancer Society has reported that by replacing high fat foods with high fiber foods will decrease your risk for developing cancer.
Good high fiber foods include whole grain cereals, fruits, and vegetables.
Cancer Prevention Tip #4 - Include Sources of Vitamins A and C in Your Diet
Leafy green vegetables and other green vegetables, such as asparagus, brussels sprouts, and green beans are good sources. Yellow-orange vegetables and fruits, such as carrots and sweet potatoes, and apricots and pineapples, are also good sources. If you're not a huge vegetable eater, try fruits, such as lemons, oranges, and grapefruit, or drink juices from these fruits.
Cancer Prevention Tip #5 - Include Sources of Vitamin E in Your Diet
Food high in Vitamin E, such as whole grain cereals, nuts and beans, have been recommended by the American Cancer Society for reducing the risk for developing cancer.
Cancer Prevention Tip #6 - Include Cruciferous Vegetables in Your Diet
Cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage, are high in fiber and reduce the risk of developing cancer.
Cancer Prevention Tip #7 - Reduce Intake of Salt-Cured, Smoked, and Nitrate-Cured Foods
Consumption of these types of foods have been linked to cancer. Moderation is a good rule when it comes to foods, such as ham, sausage, and smoked fish.
Cancer Prevention Tip #8 - Reduce Alcohol Consumption
Moderation is key. An example of moderation is having an after-dinner drink or an alcoholic beverage with your meal.
