Simple changes for a cancer-fighting diet

  • Add a cruciferous veggie to dinner. Try cabbage, cauliflower and kale. Cruciferous veggies may lower your risk of some cancers.
  • Cut the burgers (and the salami). More red and processed meat each day = higher colon cancer risk. Try veggie burgers. Hummus. Fish.
  • Don't forget fiber. Oats in the morning or lentils at night. A high-fiber diet may lower breast and colorectal cancer risk.
  • Get your 2.5 cups every day. Reach for fruits and veggies all day for a cancer-fighting diet.
  • Eat the rainbow. No single food can prevent cancer. Aim for mostly plant-based foods and lots of variety.
