Well Heredity, age and sex all affect your health risks. But despite things you can't change, you can reduce some of these risks by what you put into your body. Your daily diet can prevent or control common problems such as heart disease and high blood pressure. A high-fiber diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits can also help prevent certain kinds of cancer.
Prevention is the key word when it comes to cancer and nutrition.
Yet there is no evidence that any diet, vitamin or other food supplement can stop a human cancer once it starts. In contrast, this approach may harm patients if they stop medical treatment in the false belief that diet is enough. However, growing data shows that long-term eating habits can reduce or increase the risk of getting cancer in the first place. They reviewed 4,500 studies focusing on nutrition and cancer. Moderation in your daily diet, both in specific foods and total calories, is advice most physicians, scientists and nutritionists agree on.
