A balanced diet is recommended to reduce the risk of cancer, especially with fruit and vegetables. Alcohol should be avoided, salt, red meat and processed meats limit.
There is indeed a relationship between diet and
cancer! Certainly, no food is considered a carcinogen level tobacco or asbestos - excluding alcohol-but some excess may promote the development of tumors. Salt is pointed, but especially overweight caused by an unbalanced diet, a major factor in the risk of
cancer. Parade to adopt: a healthy diet and the consumption of
fruits and
vegetables, many anti-cancer qualities.
An unbalanced diet increases the risk of cancer
No food is considered a carcinogen. And yet, a third of
cancers could be prevented through a healthy diet according to the World Wide Fund for
Cancer Research (WCRF). "The cancer pathology is a multifactorial disease, including factors directly related to food are food imbalances, which can lead to excess of certain foods," explains Guillaume Lehericey, dietician at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris.
Three dietary components are singled out: alcohol, salt and red
meat. All alcoholic beverages are carcinogenic in the same proportions and cause 10,000 deaths from
cancer each year. They attack path they follow logically in the body (mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, liver), but also cause colorectal
cancer and breast
cancer. On the salt consumed in large quantities it attacks the gastric mucosa and promotes the development of liver
cancer. It is therefore strongly recommended to preserve food by salting ... Red meat is good for its health thanks to its protein intake, but consumed in excess, it increases the risk of colon
cancer. In particular because the
meat processing, the iron in the
meat or cooking.
The risk of overweight
It is a fact, obesity is a major risk factor for
cancer. This is especially true for breast
cancer, uterine or endometrial cancer in women, as well as the esophagus, kidney, pancreas, colon and rectum in both sexes. Overweight is at the origin of 1.4% of
cancers in men and 3.3% among women, according to the International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC). To remedy this, physical activity is recommended but not sufficient: only a healthy and balanced diet can eliminate excess weight permanently.
Fruits and vegetables, the winning ticket
Fruits and
vegetables are unanimously acclaimed by many studies for more than half a century for their preventive role, in particular to reduce the risk of
cancers of the digestive tract (mouth, esophagus, stomach, colon), but also for
cancer of the pancreas or
cancer (bronchi, lungs). "Do not eat enough
fruits and
vegetables leads to deficiencies in fiber," agrees William Lehericey. "However, fiber can help increase satiety and also play in the prevention of colorectal
cancer, for example. You can also have deficiencies in antioxidants or anti-
cancer molecules. Antioxidants are eg vitamin C that can be found in strawberries, sulfur molecules contained in cabbage or beta-carotene, which is found in colorful vegetables. " Dietitian, advocate a "varied and adapted to the needs of the organization," recommended practice "five servings of
fruits and
vegetables per day, two to three
fruits and
vegetables in the rest." And give a diagram of a typical day: "You can start the day with a glass of fruit juice - preferably pure juice. Lunch can continue with the input of raw vegetables and
fruit for dessert, raw or cooked. in the evening it can be a
vegetable gazpacho with a fruit salad. " In parallel, the dietician recommends "eating less than 500 grams of red meat per week and limit the best
meats, especially those that are very oily and very salty." This is the winning combination to protect against risk of
cancer.
