3 steps to cut cancer risk dramatically [slideshow]

Choose foods in their natural form.
Foods that your great grandmother would recognize don’t include cocoa pops, sugar-free candies, or a shiny wrapper that has a picture of a vegetable on it. There’s proof those foods feed cancer. Your great grandmother would have eaten simple things like meat, poultry, eggs, and an abundance of real vegetables.

Choose natural whole foods high in fiber
Vegetables, fruits and whole grains are great fiber-rich options. These foods also contain high levels of vitamins and minerals, along with a range of phytochemicals with proven cancer-fighting powers. In one study, participants were able to cut their cancer risk in just 14 days thanks to fiber.

Consume ample vegetables as your dietary base
Vegetables such as broccoli (eat this much), cabbage, cauliflower, collards, Brussels sprouts, carrots, tomatoes and leafy greens, are some of the most nutrient-dense foods available to help fuel the cells in your body. Aiming for at least 2.5 cups per day should be your goal.

The important thing is, foods have a synergistic effect on your health, which means, aiming for a wide variety of healthy whole foods ensures you consume all the medicinal benefits they have to offer.
