The cancer prevention diet: 6 smart tips from a nutritionist on what to eat and why — and what to avoid
Fox News
Nichole Andrews, a registered dietitian nutritionist and cancer nutrition specialist, shared with Fox News Digital her recommendations for what to eat — and what to avoid — to reduce cancer risk.
"First, we know that the rate of obesity is high and only increasing — and it’s a risk factor for many cancers," he told Fox News Digital. "A healthy, balanced diet will help to decrease these cancers." "Making these dietary changes can have a positive and lasting impact on your long-term health, whether you're seeking to prevent cancer or reduce the risk of recurrence if you're a cancer survivor." "Building a cancer-prevention lifestyle doesn't have to be overwhelming. Take small, manageable steps each day." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
A healthy diet may also limit fatigue and promote increased physical activity, which can also help with prevention, the doctor added.
