Your Blueprint for Preventing Cancer with Diet

The WCRF/AICR Third Export Report was just released, which outlines your best odds eating approach to help you prevent cancer. This is a seminal resource, comprising the world’s largest, most authoritative perspective on the body of scientific research for cancer prevention and survivorship through lifestyle.

Here are the basic recommendations issued from the report to reduce your risk of developing cancer:

1. Be a Healthy Weight
2. Be Physically Active
3. Eat Wholegrains, Veg, Fruit, and Beans
4. Limit Fast Foods
5. Limit Red and Processed Meat
6. Limit Sugar Sweetened Drinks
7. Limit Alcohol Consumption
8. Don’t Rely on Supplements.
9. Breastfeed Your Baby, If You Can.
10. After a Cancer Diagnosis, Follow These Recommendations (if you can).

I am very excited to see that these cancer prevention guidelines go right along with my recommendations for eating a healthy, plant-based diet!

Here are a few takeaways from the latest science on various diet strategies related to cancer risk.

Here is a look at some of the plant-based diet recommendations in more detail.

I encourage you to go visit the website and learn more about the specific diet recommendations here. After all, there is a lot you can do to reduce your risk of cancer with your fork. Let’s stay healthy and strong together!
