A well-balanced diet rich in nutrients is essential for maintaining a healthy body and reducing the risk of cancer. Here's how different food groups contribute to cancer prevention, according to Dr. Ashish Gupta, a USA trained, American board-certified medical oncologist, and Chief of Medical Oncology at Unique Hospital Cancer Centre, Dwarka, India:

Incorporating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables into your diet can provide protective benefits against cancer.
Whole Grains and Legumes: Opting for whole grains like brown rice, oats, and whole wheat, along with legumes such as lentils and beans, can help lower the risk of colorectal cancer. These fiber-rich foods aid in digestion and promote overall gut health.
Lean Proteins: Choose lean sources of protein such as fish, poultry, tofu, nuts, and seeds over processed meats like bacon and sausage. Processed meats have been linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer, making it advisable to limit their consumption, especially in children.
Healthy Fats: Incorporating sources of healthy fats like olive oil, avocados, and nuts into your diet can help reduce the risk of certain cancers. Conversely, diets high in saturated and trans fats, often found in processed and fried foods, may increase cancer risk, particularly prostate cancer.
Dairy and Alternatives: Opt for reduced-fat dairy products and alternatives to maintain a healthy balance of calcium and protein in your diet. High intake of dairy fat has been associated with an elevated risk of prostate cancer, so moderation is key.
