With a few nutrition changes in your diet you can make a significant difference in your risk of getting cancer.
Nutrition and diet is the sum of food we consume. Diet often refers to the specific intake of nutrition for health and weight management.
Every culture, every person has some food preferences, these are our dietary habits. And these habits are what we must modify to increase our quality of life, health and longevity.
Proper nutrition requires that we eat and absorb vitamins, minerals and food energy, via proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
Cancer is a disease that we all wish didn’t exist. It ravages the body and the lives of those around the sufferer. No one can predict who will and who won’t get cancer. But, one way that you can reduce your risk of certain kinds of cancers is through watching your nutritional intake.
You are what you eat. Even when you are young, eating poorly will eventually catch up with you. Eating a natural diet not only helps your body by boosting your immune system, it also keeps the body operating in good condition on the inside.

One cancer that is a big concern these days is breast cancer. Besides having yearly mammograms when you turn 40, women can also make nutritional changes to lower their risk.
One way to do that is to eat more fruits and vegetables. Eating these fruits and vegetables in the most natural way possible (here is where the food preferences come into play) is our best choice.
These foods contain complex carbohydrates as well as other substances like antioxidants. Antioxidants fight free radical damage in the body. Free radicals are by-products of cellular metabolism. They also come from the environment, second-hand smoke, foods and stress.
These particles bombard the organs and cause the signs of aging and the breakdown of body systems that can lead to diseases like cancer. Here are some types of fruits and vegetables that are particularly good for fighting cancer:
Cruciferous veggies
These are your broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. They contain sulfur compounds that help fight cancer.
Alliums
This is a type of vegetable family that includes onions, garlic and leeks. They may make you cry when you cut them, but they are good for you. Garlic helps lower cholesterol. All of them contain antimicrobial properties. In addition, they can slow or retard cancer growth.
Berries
Raspberries, strawberries and blueberries are just a few of these fruits that contain lots of antioxidant substances. Antioxidants can increase your resistance to disease as they help your body fight back. Consume as many antioxidants as you can naturally. These and other fruits contain phenols, which help boost the immune system.

Legumes and Nuts
This group includes beans, lentils and peanuts. Legumes are rich in protein and low in fat. Beans are also high in fiber which flushes fat out of your system as it passes. Fiber also prevents constipation and helps your digestive system to function properly. Nuts contain protein and fat.
