Six Good Eating Habits That Will Help Prevent Cancer

January 12, 2008

The American Institute for Cancer Research has released a 517-page report

detailing the CONVENTIONAL medical view of what your main risk factors for

developing cancer, and what you can do to reduce your risk.

Among their findings -- after reviewing more than 7,000 large-scale studies over the

course of five years -- the Institute is now convinced that excess body weight

increases your risk for the following types of cancer:

Colon

Kidney

Pancreas

Esophagus

Uterus, and breast cancer in post-menopausal women

The report also found that there are certain lifestyle changes that will reduce your

risk of getting cancer:

1. Be as lean as possible within the normal range of body weight

2. Be physically active as part of everyday life

3. Limit consumption of "energy-dense foods," foods that are high in calories, fat

and sugar. Avoid sugary drinks

4. Eat mostly foods of plant origin, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains and

beans

5. Limit intake of red meat and avoid ALL processed meat

6. Limit alcoholic drinks to one per day for women, two per day for men

7. Limit consumption of salt. Avoid moldy grains or legumes

8. Aim to meet nutritional needs through diet alone, without dietary supplement
