Experts say that people who are fit and eat healthy may lower their odds of getting cancer. The Good Housekeeping Institute has some foods that can help with the "Anti-Cancer Diet."
Nutritionist, Delia Hammock says, "International experts recently spent five years studying the connections between diet, exercise, and cancer. They found that alcohol, red meat, and processed meat like bacon and ham raises the risk, while eating more fruits, non-starchy vegetables and getting more exercise lowers the risk."
One tip that Good Housekeeping says is to "find ways to make fruit more exciting. One way is to have fruit salsa like this. It makes fish or chicken really, really good. Another tip is just to sprinkle an apple with cinnamon and brown sugar, and then pop it in the microwave," says Hammock.
Good Housekeeping recommends keeping raw baby carrots, red pepper slices and snap peas in a container in your refrigerator. Then you can access them easily when you need a snack. "You can use less red meat by mixing veggie crumbles with ground beef and making hamburger patties, or perhaps just use a little bit of red meat and mix it with vegetables in a stir-fry," says Hammock.
