Research has shown that right diet is a major factor that can reduce the risk of cancer. Although Nutrition scientists have not been able to show a direct connection between diet and cancer, there is enough evidence to suggest that the right diet can reduce the risk of certain cancers considerably.

One of the main causes attributed to cancers of pancreas, colon, kidney, rectum, breast and esophagus is excess fat in the body. So you need to cut calories and eat a healthy diet which contains a good amount of foods rich in fiber, fruits and vegetables. Drinks and foods having a lot of sugar content are to be avoided and do not overeat.

It is best to avoid alcohol altogether but since it is not possible for many people; men can limit their intake to two drinks and women to one a day. Excess of this will increase the risk of colon and breast cancers. You can totally stop the consumption of meat which is processed and eating of red meats should be curtailed. Red meat provides iron but should not be eaten more than twice in a week and should not exceed 18 oz.
