Lower the risk of genetically occurring blood cancer with change in diet
Ways to lower the risk of blood cancer
Genetics and environment, are few risk factors for cancer. These factors cannot be avoided, but as per research about 70% of lifetime cancers can be preventable only through lifestyle changes, such as –
Proper/right body weight
Staying hydrated
Zero usage of tobacco
Exercising regularly
These changes in lifestyle can play a vital role in having a healthy body. Eating vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, beans, cereals, grains, fish, and unsaturated fats such as olive oil also known as Mediterranean diet, can lower the risk of a variety of common cancers. And this effect is more on people who have a history of cancer in their family. These changes in the long term can bring in a huge impact on health. And for people who are already dealing with cancer, a rich nutritious diet will provide the immunity in them in their challenging times.
One of the other ways to prevent blood cancer is through consuming antioxidants, more specifically plant based foods. These foods have naturally occurring anti-oxidants in them, this will help in boosting your immunity system and help in fighting against cancer cells. Some foods that are rich in anti-oxidants are
Carrots, Brussels sprouts, and squash
Broccoli, spinach, and beans (non-starchy vegetables)
Tomatoes, guava, watermelon lycopene high foods
Oranges, berries, peas, bell peppers, dark leafy greens and other foods high in vitamin C
