Although many studies have found a healthy diet to be a protective factor against cancer, not all of the evidence is conclusive. Many studies site confounding factors such as environmental and genetic factors as the cause for this scientific indecision. While we can all shake our heads and tut at science\u2019s embarrassingly limited knowledge of human nutrition, perhaps we can cut science a little slack by acknowledging that life-long dietary patterns during specific stages of life and the effects thereof on the body, would be difficult to detect in relatively short-term clinical research studies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of these shortfalls, we can however comfort sulky science by acknowledging that many studies do note a relationship between fruit, vegetables (non-starchy ones-sorry potatoes) and whole grain with cancers of the lung, colon, breast, cervix, oesophagus, oral cavity, stomach, bladder, pancreas and ovary.[<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An analysis of multiple studies examining the relationship between fruit and vegetable intake and cancers showed that 128 of 156 studies (82%) found a statistically significant protective effect especially in cancers related to the gastro-intestinal tract such as the oral cavity, oesophagus, stomach, colon and rectum.[<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to this a meta-analysis reported in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) provides further evidence that \u201cwhole grain intake is associated with a reduced risk of [\u2026] total cancer, [thus] these findings support dietary guidelines that recommend increased intake of whole grain to reduce the risk of chronic diseases\u201d[<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2]<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, from all this medical and scientific jargon, we can deduce that not only do fruits, veggies and whole grains such as brown rice and unrefined cereals, make us feel stronger and more energetic, they also reduce the risk of developing cancer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, with science in mind, here is a table illustrating all the lifestyle changes recommended by the American Cancer Society that you can make to reduce your risk of cancer[<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3]<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consume a healthy diet, with an emphasis on plant sources (yummy fruit and veg):<\/span>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose foods and beverages in amounts that help achieve and maintain a healthy weight, obesity has been proven to be linked to an increased risk of cancer so maintaining a healthy weight is vital<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Five or more servings of a variety of vegetables and fruits are recommended each day (an apple, pear, orange, some broccoli and lettuce actually do keep the doctor away)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose whole grains over processed (refined) grains.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limit consumption of processed and red meats (good for you, the animals and the environment)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you drink alcoholic beverages, limit consumption (drink no more than one drink per day for women or two per day for men)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly along with making these changes to your diet, adopt a physically active lifestyle (at least 30 mins of vigorous activity on 5 or more days of the week for adults, at least 60 mins for children and adolescents) and (a no brainer) stop smoking[<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3]<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>References and useful links:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gladys Block, Blossom Patterson &amp; Amy Subar. <\/span><b>Fruit, vegetables, and cancer prevention: A review of the epidemiological evidence<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
