Healthy lifestyle choices can help reduce the risk of cancers of the breast, ovary, uterus, and prostate. When shopping for foods that can reduce the risk of cancer look for: low fat, low sugar, antioxidants, fiber, and isoflavones. A healthy diet should include approximately five servings of fruits and vegetables daily and 30 minutes of exercise five days a week.

if possible, try to get local cancer fighting foods. I tried collards and chard for the first time last week! YUM! this is a great reference list for when my veggie shopping gets "stale." Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat Advice. Local food is much better and taste better too in my opinion! I had collard greens for first time 2 years ago and it was really good. I never had chard.
