Drink plants - Take their power.
One in five people who die from cancer have an overweight or obese body mass index . But, exactly how weight affects cancer risk is unclear. Excess weight increases your risk by 50 percent for endometrial cancer and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Also, a higher number of postmenopausal women who are overweight develop breast cancer. Weight in the belly area is most closely connected with an increased risk of certain cancers. But, obesity is associated with cancer of the following ten body parts:
- Colon
- Gallbladder
- Kidney
- Liver
- Ovaries
- Pancreas
- Prostate
- Rectum
- Thyroid
- Uterus
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Limit calorie dense and nutrient deficient foods- These foods include: sugar-sweetened beverages, processed snack foods and desserts. Calories add up fast with these sorts of calorie-dense foods, which can lead to weight gain and leave little room for more healthful, cancer-preventive foods.
- Eat more vegetables and fruits. Eating plenty of whole plant foods is linked with a lower risk of lung, oral, esophageal, stomach and colon cancer. At this point, it's not clear which components in vegetables and fruits are most protective against cancer. So enjoy a variety of whole foods naturally-rich in nutrients
- Moderate your meat portions- Some studies suggest a link between colon cancer and eating large amounts of red meat. This is especially true for processed meat such as ham, bacon and hot dogs. Your best bet is to enjoy animal protein in moderation
- Focus on plant proteins- Eating more plant protein than animal protein is associated with a lower risk of many types of cancers.
