Looking for more information regarding your nutrition during and post-treatment?
Colorectal Cancer Canada, through its Foods That Fight Cancer program has you covered! These helpful downloadable (and printable) guides feature tons of helpful tips and advice from registered dieticians who work 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:
