In this article today I would like to discuss several tips, tricks, and tactics that almost everybody can use to help reduce their risk of developing cancer by nearly two thirds.
Cancer is one of the most devastating diseases on the planet. Anybody who has gone through this disease and survived or has a friend or family member who has knows just how intense and horrible it can be. Luckily there are many different things that anybody can do to help prevent cancer in themselves and that’s what I would like to talk about in this article today.
We can’t yet cure cancer but we do know many things that help prevent it. Unfortunately there is no quick fix and many of these techniques require major lifestyle changes from what most of us are used to today. They mainly have to deal with food, what we eat, and how we eat it which may not be music to most people’s ears.
Most studies show that eating less dietary fat can cut your risk of cancer dramatically in most cases. On the flip side, eating more dietary fat certainly raises the risk for certain cancers such as breast and colon and maybe even prostate.
It really basically just comes down to one thing. You should eat less of the foods that are known to increase your risk of cancer and you should eat more of the foods that help prevent it. So what foods are these?
Beef, pork, poultry, and fish consumption should be minimized as much is possible because they can be concentrated sources of dioxin, polychlorinated biphenyls and other carcinogens.
On the other hand, you should increase your consumption of vegetables and fruits as well as dietary fiber. Always wash your produce thoroughly if you can’t peel it completely. The jury is still out on whether or not organic food is better than regular food when it comes to produce but I tend to believe it is so I buy organic whenever possible.
Apart from eating more healthy you should also increase your consumption of water. A good rule of thumb is to drink eight 8 ounce glasses of water a day or roughly 4 tall glasses based on regular sized kitchen glasses. Water helps flush out carcinogens from your body and overall promotes good health.
Finally you should cut out as much processed foods as you possibly can because these foods almost always have a lot of trans fatty acids and also refined sugars and salts.
So there you have several very simple tips that almost anybody can use to help cut their risk of cancer, sometimes by as much as two thirds or more. If prevention is the name of the game then this is clearly the first play in the playbook.
