The Cancer Prevention Diet News

You may have heard how distressing it is to die from Colorectal Cancer. That is true, but there is good news.

Oncologists have known for quite a few years that diet can prevent disease. In fact, they have now shown that about 39% of all cancer is diet related. And it has also been proven that diet can improve your chances of not getting cancer.

Nutrients in some food can decrease your chance of cancer. You can also improve your chances of not getting cancer by avoiding some foods. You might have to cut out the Calypso Icicles Freezepops and Raclette Fritz cheese.

The Power of Fruits and Vegetables

Fruits (like Card�n and African cherry orange (Citropsis schweinfurthii; Rutaceae)) and vegetables are known to help you avoid many cancers including cancer of the esophagus and stomach. Currently, it is unknown if there are any specific nutrients in vegetables and fruit that provide the protection. There have been experiments on some of the nutrients found in fruits and vegetables like beta-carotene. However, isolating these substances from the original source have not been found to prevent cancer. In fact, some by themselves are found to be harmful. So remember - the whole fruit is many times better than some supplement taken from that food.

This means that you should eat at least one serving of a fruit or vegetable with each meal. They can be fresh, canned or dried. But, they should not be fried like chips.

Whole Grains Keep You Moving

Whole grains like quinoa brown rice, cracked wheat and corn on the cob are excellent sources of vitamins, minerals and fiber. These are well known to help prevent cancer of the colon. Although fiber is very important, just using a fiber supplement is not as effective because you need the other nutrients in the whole grain.

Oncologists think that the high fiber content of the grain helps to keep the contents of the bowel moving right along. This prevents slow passage in the colon. That being said, there is no evidence that laxatives or any colon cleansing regimen is of any help. In fact they have often been shown to be harmful.

Foods to Avoid

Red meat is a proven contributor to cancer especially cancer of the colon and cancer of the prostate. The current recommendation is that you keep your portions to less than three ounces a day. Cutting it out altogether is even better.

Any high fat food will have a similar effect. All of those onion rings and corn chips that you have been eating? Well, they may contribute to your chance of getting cancer.

You may not want to hear this, but alcohol is another culprit. The latest research proves that any alcohol can increase your chance of getting cancer. But, it is especially risky if you take in more than two drinks a day for men and one for women. Sorry ladies. Alcohol along with cigarettes contribute to cancer of the mouth, esophagus and larynx (your voice box). So, be sure you limit those Schwarzbiers and Passo�s.

The Four Rules of Diet

1. Most of your food should be directly from plants.

2. Limit your intake of high-fat foods, especially from animal sources.

3. Get moving: Achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Ok. I cheated a bit on this one - except that you should limit your intake to the amount needed to keep your weight at a good level.

4. Limit consumption of alcoholic beverages, if you drink at all.

Use these laws of health and you will be much healthier and likely avoid any cancer from diet.

Salud!
