Diet..

 

When it comes to building a lifestyle that reduces cancer risk, researchers recommend making plant-based foods the centerpiece of meals.

“Embracing a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds,”

 “These foods are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants that have been linked to a reduced risk of various types of cancer.”

Making these dietary changes can have a positive and lasting impact on your long-term health.

Dr. Amber Orman, a radiation oncologist and board-certified lifestyle medicine specialist for Advent Health in Orlando, Florida, believes that up to 40% of all cancers could be prevented with a “plant-predominant diet combined with other aspects of lifestyle, specifically physical activity, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, and maintaining a healthy body weight.
