Eat Well
Reduce your risk for cancer by improving your diet.
New research shows that as many as one-third of all cancer deaths are linked to diet and physical activity. You have the power to change your eating habits.
Start by reducing dietary fat intake, especially animal fat. Then try to make your diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans and whole grains.
Start small.
No one can overhaul their food habits quickly. Add a few servings of fruits and vegetables to your diet each day to reduce your cancer risk. Mix some dark, leafy greens like spinach in with your salad. Eat a peach, or other brightly colored fruit for a snack.
Limit alcohol.
Alcohol consumption is linked to increased risk of mouth, esophagus, pharynx, larynx, liver and breast cancers. If you drink alcohol, men should try to drink no more than two drinks a day, and women should try to drink no more than one drink a day.
