Nutrition advice from registered dietitians who are working in oncology centres across Canada.
Research has shown that about 50% of cancers are preventable and influenced by lifestyle factors that can be modified, such as avoiding tobacco, being physically active, having healthy eating and drinking habits and maintaining a healthy weight.
Inspiration for the Foods that Fight Cancer Program comes from a partnership between Colorectal Cancer Canada and renowned biochemist and researcher, Richard Béliveau. His expertise and passion for cancer prevention form the foundation of this ambitious project: to empower people to adopt healthy eating habits today in order to reduce the incidence of cancer in the future.
The World Cancer Research Fund has clear recommendations for a healthy diet that helps decrease your risks of developing cancer:
Eat a diet rich in a variety of vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Reduce your consumption of red meat and processed meat.
Limit your consumption of alcohol and sugar-sweetened drinks.
Eat fewer highly processed food products.
