Proper nutrition prevents cancer

Through epidemiological and experimental evidence, it has been proven that diet is related to 30-40% of human cancers.

Drinking a lot of alcohol, especially in combination with smoking, increases the risk of cancer of the oral cavity, esophagus, and larynx. Stomach cancer is closely related to diets high in smoked substances, food preservatives, and low in fresh fruits and vegetables. Studies conducted in the United States and some Western countries show a causal relationship between a diet high in fat and low in vegetables and colorectal cancer.

Similarly, prostate cancer mortality was found to be higher in groups with high fat intakes than in groups with normal fat intakes. Breast cancer risk was reduced in groups with high intakes of fresh fruits and vegetables and low intakes of fat. Diets rich in plant foods, especially green or yellow fruits and vegetables, were associated with a reduced risk of lung, colorectal, esophageal, and stomach cancers.

A reasonable diet and eating regimen can completely protect and reduce the risk of cancer and some other chronic diseases for the body. It is necessary to harmoniously implement 10 tips in eating, living and working reasonably to proactively prevent cancer:

1. Actively and regularly implement advice on eating, processing and using food to ensure food safety and hygiene:
