What Dietary Choices And Gut Health Interventions Can Help Prevent Cancer?

News 18  

Dietary choices and gut health interventions are fundamental in cancer prevention, as they significantly impact inflammation, immune function, and overall health. Dr Neeraj Goel, Director, Oncology Services, GI Oncology, GI & HPB Surgery, CK Birla Hospital, Delhi, says, “Antioxidants, abundant in fruits and vegetables, help combat oxidative stress and inflammation, which are linked to cancer development. Replacing refined sugars and carbohydrates with whole grains like millet can further reduce cancer risk and support overall well-being.” Reducing the intake of processed and red meats is another crucial step in cancer prevention. By making these dietary choices and supporting gut health through balanced nutrition, a person can significantly decrease their cancer risk and promote overall health.
