A sobering fact, cancer is the second leading cause of death in this country. It strikes men, women, and children. Cancer is caused by a variety of factors, including exposure to environmental toxins, smoking, an unhealthy lifestyle, and genetic predisposition.

However, the most staggering statistic is that improper diet accounts for almost 70% of cancers and is one of the main causes of death among human beings. Diet and cancer experts are beginning to identify more and more nutrients that we can include in our diet that may help reduce cancer risks.

Maintaining a healthy weight and eating a good nutritious diet are important elements in the fight against cancer. Making some changes in your diet and lifestyle can greatly reduce the probability of getting diagnosed with cancer, changes that are not as difficult as you may think.

SUGGESTED DIETARY GUIDELINES TO LOWER CANCER RISK

*Eat a primarily plant-based diet rich in a variety of vegetables and fruits, beans and peas, and minimally processed starchy foods.

*Eat five or more portions a day of a variety of vegetables and fruits, all year round.

*Eat at least three portions a day of a variety of cereals, whole grains, beans and peas, and root vegetables. Minimally processed foods are preferable.

*Limit consumption of refined sugar. Yes, that means cookies, cakes, ice cream, etc.

*Alcohol consumption is not recommended. If consumed, limit alcoholic drinks to less than two drinks a day for men and one for women.

*If eaten at all, limit intake of red meat to less than 3 ounces daily. It is preferable to choose fish and poultry in place of red meat.

*Limit consumption of fatty foods, particularly those of animal origin. Choose modest amounts of appropriate vegetable oils.

*Limit consumption of salted foods and use of cooking and table salt. Use herbs and spices to season foods. Experiment with them. There are many to choose from and you may find you prefer their taste over salt.

*Do not smoke or use tobacco in any form.

A helpful hint for grocery shopping: when you go the store, stick to the areas around the perimeter of the store. This is where the fruits and vegetables, meat, and dairy are located. Stay away from the pre-packaged, over-processed foods that are in such plentiful supply. They contain unhealthy additives and preservatives.

EXERCISE AND FITNESS

*Maintain a healthy weight. If you are overweight, lose weight. Obesity is now a leading cause of some cancers.

*Be physically active. If occupational activity is low or moderate, take a brisk walk or similar exercise daily. Also exercise vigorously for a total of at least one hour a week. If you cannot manage vigorous exercise, any kind of movement is beneficial to your body.

The consumption of a predominantly plant-based diet, when matched with regular physical exercise and the avoidance of tobacco, can decrease cancer risk by as much as 70%. A truly healthy body is far less vulnerable to cancer and more able to fight off its ravages. The guidelines listed above can help you in your fight against cancer.
