550,000 Americans die of cancer every year. The U.S. government's National Cancer Institute estimates that 35% of cancer deaths are related to poor eating habits. Thus, you can reduce your risk of developing certain types of cancer by simply changing your eating habits. | ||||
Keep in mind, no single food can prevent cancer, no single dietary slip will cause cancer. But you can reduce your cancer risk by regularly eating a balanced diet which includes a variety of vegetables and fruits and ample high-fiber grain foods. Watch your weight and cut down on total fat intake. Limit consumption of alcoholic beverages and of nitrite-cured or smoked foods. | ||||
