Eating to Prevent Cancer

By The Taste for Life Staff

Each year in the US, more than 500,000 people die from cancer. Research shows that there are things you can do to reduce your risk.

Ways to Reduce Cancer Risk

  • If you smoke, stop.
  • Increase your physical activity, and avoid intense sun exposure.
  • Reduce your consumption of alcohol and red meat, and add more fruits and vegetables to your diet.

By adopting these healthy lifestyle changes, up to 60 percent of cancer deaths could be prevented.

Eat Healthy to Reduce Cancer Risk

A healthy diet is another key to reducing cancer risk. Fill at least two-thirds of your plate with vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and beans.
