Cancer-Fighting Compounds & Healthy Weight Control

Both antioxidants and the body’s immune system are important in fighting cancer. Cancer-fighting compounds, such as antioxidants, mainly found in fruits and vegetables, help reduce free-radical damage, which can otherwise lead to cancer development. Weight control is also essential for warding off a variety of chronic diseases. Studies have shown that slimmer people are less likely to develop cancer compared with their heavier counterparts. Trimming excess weight may also improve survival after cancer has been diagnosed. 

In this class, the instructor will discuss and demonstrate healthful dishes loaded with immune-boosting nutrients, including beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamin C, and zinc. You’ll learn how to easily and naturally maintain a healthy weight and a cancer-fighting nutritional regimen by eating plant-based foods

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.
