To reduce your risk of cancer: Eat a Mediterranean-style diet and cut back on sources of animal protein.
April 28, 2014
At Cleveland Clinic Wellness, for most people, we recommend eating a Mediterranean-style diet comprised of fresh fruits and vegetables, heart-healthy fats like olive oil, some fish and 100 percent whole grains. (For some, with more established disease, a diet of no added sugars and very low fat may be preferred.) Fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as heart-healthy fats like those found in avocados, are nutritious and delicious, which is an important part of sticking with a healthful diet. After all, eating is a joy and a celebration, not a test of willpower or deprivation. And now there’s even more support for a plants-based diet. In a new study of 6,300 people ages 50 to 65, those who ate a diet rich in animal protein were more than four times as likely to die of cancer during the study period than those who ate a low-animal protein diet (comparable to the risk from smoking!). Eating a Mediterranean diet, on the other hand, can make you look and feel younger, reduce your risk of chronic diseases (including some types of cancer), and help you maintain a healthy body weight. Our Go! Foods for You plan will help you learn how to cook and eat the Mediterranean way, delicious recipes included.
