Publisher's Synopsis
Nutrition is an important part of life, cancer treatment, recovery, and prevention. Food is one of the few things you can be in control of during your treatment. This book's whole idea is to help you make informed choices about nutrition, answer your nutrition-related questions, and help you achieve and maintain good health.
The Bottom Line
Though there are no miracle superfoods that can prevent cancer, some evidence suggests that dietary habits can offer protection.
A diet high in whole foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats and lean protein may prevent cancer.
Conversely, processed meats, refined carbs, salt and alcohol may increase your risk.
Though no diet has been proven to cure cancer, plant-based and keto diets may lower your risk or benefit treatment.
Generally, people with cancer are encouraged to follow a healthy, balanced diet to preserve quality of life and support optimal health outcomes.
