Foods that increase cancer risk



There are many known and many still unknown potential factors that may cause the

development of cancer. Genetics and family history play a huge role, but your habits and lifestyle still play the greatest role.


One of the most important factors to consider is your diet. Some foods are associated with the higher risk for the development of certain types of cancer. Here is what you can do:


1. Avoid processed meats

2. Avoid fried foods

3. Avoid overcooked foods

4. Avoid eating too much dairy products

5. Avoid sugar and refined carbohydrates

6. Avoid alcohol


Foods like fruits and veggies, beans, nuts, whole grains and fish can significantly lower the risk for the cancer development.


It is important to limit the consumption of the foods listed above, and focus on healthy lifestyle habits. Eat more foods that lower your cancer risk, exercise regularly and reduce your stress levels.


We only have one life, so choose to live healthy and be happy.
