What role does nutrition play in managing cancer risk?
Nutrition is pivotal in managing cancer risk. Diets rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins provide essential nutrients that support overall health and immune function. Conversely, diets high in processed foods, red meats, and sugars can increase inflammation and the risk of cancers such as colorectal cancer. Nutritional guidance from healthcare providers can help individuals make informed dietary choices to mitigate cancer risk.
