Читать книгу DASH Diet For Dummies - Sarah Samaan - Страница 55

Many cancers, including breast cancer, colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer, are strongly linked to diet and lifestyle. It’s estimated that as many as 40 percent of cancers can be prevented with simple lifestyle changes. None of these changes are radical, but all require some effort on your part. For example, if you’re a smoker, dropping the habit can significantly reduce your risk for lung cancer, cancers of the mouth and throat, and more.

Body weight and the food you eat are two very important and modifiable risk factors for cancer. When you commit to a heart-healthy diet like DASH, you cut your risk for cancer and boost your chances of staying healthy for the long term.
