Add lots of fiber in your diet!

There are many benefits of high fiber diets, including reducing your risk of cancer by helping keep cancer-promoting compounds moving through your digestive system faster, before they can get up to any mischief. By making sure you have a high fiber intake could help prevent colorectal cancer and other digestive system cancers.

Eat healthy fats:

The keto or high-fat diet is very popular these days, making it very important to ensure you include all the healthier fats in your diet. Eating a high-fat diet can increase your risk of various types of cancer and on the other side if you take in the healthier fats this may decrease your risk of cancer.

To reduce your risk of cancer you can reduce saturated fats in your daily diet and increase unsaturated fats.

Justine’s Protein Cookies are a little on the higher side of fats but these are majorly the good types of fat.

 

Reduce your sugar intake:

A high intake of refined carbs can also increase your blood sugar rapidly. This has been linked to an 88% greater risk of prostate cancer and it also affects your health seriously.

What else can you do to reduce your risk of cancer?

Other than eating healthier and reducing foods that are bad for you and increase your risk of cancer you can also do the following…
