Everyone is at risk of cancer. However, there are things that a person can do that increases their risk. Things that cause damage to your cells and your body, increase your risk of cancer. These are things that we all know about: drinking, smoking, eating unhealthy foods, sun tanning. However, because it is all about risk, a perfectly healthy person can get cancer and a person that drinks and smokes excessively can not. Also living longer increases your risk too, that it why cancers are more prevalent in older generations.
Experts think that about a quarter of all cancer deaths are caused by unhealthy diets and obesity.
You can reduce your cancer risk by eating a healthy, balanced diet that is:
- High in fibre, fruit and vegetables.
- Low in red and processed meat, saturated fats and salt.
Fibre keeps your bowels healthy, fruit and vegetables are rich sources of all kinds of vitamins and minerals that your body needs to be healthy. Red and processed meat contain chemicals that can irriate and damage the cells and DNA of your stomach and bowels. A high fat diet can increase hormones in your blood stream and is linked to Breast cancer. And salt damages your stomach lining and increases your blood pressure which puts a strain on your heart.
It's true when they say that you are what you eat!
