It’s no secret that good health goes hand in hand with good nutrition. Researchers have shown which foods can limit the risk of cancer.
In France, cancer is the leading cause of premature death, just ahead of cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately, although medical research is increasingly optimal, the number of new cases is not decreasing. In 2018, the Foundation for Cancer Research website estimated approximately 382,000 new cases of cancer diagnosed across France. That’s not all, the online service specifies that “3.8 million people live in France today with a diagnosis of cancer”. So, how to reduce the risk of developing the disease? We will never repeat it enough, but good hygiene is essential. If it is difficult to fight against hereditary or genetic factors, it is better to put the odds on your side with a healthy, varied and balanced diet, combined with regular physical activity.
Some products we consume are recognized as dangerous for our health, namely processed foods such as prepared meals or cold cuts (because of the nitrites and other preservatives that compose them). Fortunately, since life is an eternal balance, other foods would be preferred. Researchers at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland, found that three vegetables would be beneficial to neutralize cancer cellswithout damaging healthy cells.
