EATING VEGETARIAN.

Studies show that eating more vegetables and less meat significantly reduces your risk of cancer. The December, 2006 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that a maximum of 0.73 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily may reduce markers of cancer risk. Try to eat at least five servings of vegetables daily, especially cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower, which support liver detoxification enzymes and deactivate carcinogen toxins.

Avoid sugar and refined carbohydrates - a cancer cell's best fuel. Instead choose lignans, the soluble fibre in flaxseed, and other soluble fibres from psyllium, nuts, and seeds. They help normalize estrogen metabolism, eliminating excesses that can lead to breast and prostate cancers. Nuts and seeds also contain omega - 3 fatty acids, which are associated with reduced cancer risk.
