Proper nutrition has been shown to reduce cancer risk, noted Dr. Brian Slomovitz, director of gynecologic oncology and co-chair of the Cancer Research Committee at Mount Sinai Medical Center.
But others, like diet, can be managed.
Nichole Andrews, a registered dietitian nutritionist and cancer nutrition specialist who works with patients and survivors in Kennewick, Washington, shared with Fox News Digital her recommendations for what to eat — and what to avoid — in order to reduce cancer risk. “Making these dietary changes can have a positive and lasting impact on your long-term health, whether you’re seeking to prevent cancer or reduce the risk of recurrence if you’re a cancer survivor,” she said.
“Some of the most powerful anti-cancer foods include dark leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, mushrooms, beans including soy, berries, unpeeled apples, ginger, garlic, turmeric, ground flax, and green tea with lemon,” Orman said. You do not have to go meatless or vegan to reduce cancer risk, Andrews pointed out.
“Plant-based foods are of benefit to decreased risk,” he said. “However, compliance may be limited. It is not necessary to be vegan to be plant-based.” “Additionally, white meats and fish are generally leaner, helping to maintain a healthy weight, which is crucial in reducing the risk of several cancer types,” she went on.
