A healthy diet is absolutely your best defense against cancer. Vegetables are a crucial part of our diet that most of us don't get enough of. You should eat five or more servings daily, but if that seems overwhelming, try to eat a big salad each day. Throw in some raw broccoli florets and carrots.
Cabbage is an excellent cancer-fighter, too.
Naturally, go easy on the fat-laden dressings. Additional diet guidelines include limiting fat to no more than 30 percent of your diet. Cut out animal products whenever possible, and eliminate smoked or charcoal-grilled foods. Stay out of the sun, and use sunscreen religiously. Better to be pale and healthy than a walking melanoma.
