Foods to eat, and not eat, to prevent cancer, according to a doctor and nutritionist
Fox News
Andre Goy, M.D., and Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, both of New Jersey, shared their tips on food choice for improving nutrition for overall wellness and reduced cancer risk.
"The biggest problem in the American diet is a reliance on convenience rather than home cooking." "While there is no specific diet that can guarantee cancer prevention, a nutrient-rich diet may lower your risk." "Simple, sustainable changes with a focus on more home-cooked, plant-based foods will have a huge return on investment." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
The doctor estimates that more than half of all cancers are preventable with lifestyle changes — from quitting smoking and drinking, to eating a plant-based diet and exercising.
