According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the global cancer burden rose to 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths in 2018, with one in five men and one in six women developing cancer during their lifetime.
While some factors that contribute to cancer development are beyond our control, adopting a healthy lifestyle characterised by good nutrition, regular physical activity, stress management, and adequate rest can significantly reduce the risk of cancer.
Proper nutrition is key to winning the battle against cancer, and it's essential to focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and quality proteins. A diet made up of a rainbow of colours, including fibre from whole grains, and antioxidant-rich herbs and spices such as peppers, garlic, turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon, has proven to respond well to cancers.
It's also crucial to avoid over-processed foods, diet packed with sugar and additives, alcohol, and tobacco during and after cancer treatment. A well-nourished diet will form the framework for rebuilding and replenishing the body.
As Dr. [no doctor mentioned in the source] noted, 'So what do you do post-cancer treatment?' The simple answer is to adopt a healthy lifestyle and focus on good and proper nutrition.
