Research suggests that nutrients found naturally in foods offers a protective effect. Choose nutrient - rich, whole foods and beverages as the best source of nutrients for cancer prevention.
Focus on plant proteins
Beans and lentils are sources of proteins, dietary fiber, iron, potassium and other necessary nutrients. Eating more proteins than animal protein is associated with lower risk of many types of cancer.
Moderate your portions of red and processed meats.
