Beat Cancer Fueling Up on Low-Fat, High-Fiber Food

Fiber helps your body rid itself of toxins, waste hormones, excess cholesterol, chemicals, and other undesirables. Unhealthy fat hinders the immune system and drives hormone production, which can mean higher rates of hormone-related cancers such as breast and prostate cancer.  It is especially important in helping the immune system function properly, as well as facilitating the removal of waste from the body. Without fiber in the diet, these excess compounds are often reabsorbed into the bloodstream, leading to a possible increased risk of cancer.

Steering clear of meat, dairy products, fried foods, and other fatty foods is an important initial step in preventing and surviving cancer. The easiest way to be healthy is to create your meals from foods that are naturally low in fat and to use cooking methods that do not require added fats or oils. In this class, you will learn how to prepare delicious, low-fat dishes made from whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits.

Certain dietary patterns and foods have been linked to a reduced risk of developing certain types of cancer, while others may increase the risk.  It’s important to understand the distinction and adjust your lifestyle accordingly.
