A healthy diet that can help reduce your risk of cancer shouldn’t be confusing.  It’s about sticking to a mostly plant-based diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and legumes and lean protein.  What do you do to help reduce your cancer risk?

Healthy Food

We know all too well how confusing the world of diet and nutrition can be, thanks to new studies, fad diets and bold, often contradicting, headlines released every day.   It can be hard to figure out just what to believe in that sea of competing science and promotion splashed across the web!  The key is to know the most reliable and accurate sources for information. 

When a recent story was released questioning the role of diet in overall cancer prevention, we went straight to the source, the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), to get the facts.  While ongoing studies have found that different foods may be more effective in helping prevent certain types of cancer over others, the bottom line according to AICR is this:

“…when it comes to cancer risk, diet does matter.

What does this mean?  A healthy diet that can help reduce your risk of cancer shouldn’t be confusing.  It’s about sticking to a mostly plant-based diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and legumes and lean protein.  Find more information about foods that can help reduce your cancer risk here.
