2. 4 dietary rules to live by…
1: Eat at least five portions of fresh fruit and vegetables every day, as evidence shows that it lowers the risk of cancers of the stomach, oesophagus, lung, oral cavity, pharynx, endometrium, pancreas and colon. Try to consume a variety of colours to make sure you're getting all the vital antioxidants.
2: Eat more fibre. Bowel cancer has been found to be less common in countries with traditionally high-fibre diets.
3: Reduce your intake of red and processed meats. Both have been linked to colon cancer.
4: Avoid transfats, which contain “bad” cholesterol and are found in processed and fast food. They have been associated with an increased risk of breast and prostate cancers.
