Lean meat, poultry, eggs, dairy, nuts, seeds and soy may reduce the risk of cancer, according to U.S. oncologist Nicole Andrews, MD. In this respect reports Health news edition.
The doctor explained that excessive consumption of red and processed meat (sausages, sausages, bacon) significantly increases the risk of developing cancer. However, it is not necessary to give up these products completely; The oncologist recommends limiting their consumption to 18 ounces (about 510 grams) per week. Andrews recommends choosing lean chicken, turkey, fish, eggs and seafood instead of red meat, hamburgers, hot dogs and ham.
The oncologist added that you can use protein powder in cocktails to get the required amount of protein. At the same time, options that are not enriched with too many microelements are best suited for this purpose.
According to the doctor, don’t forget about plant protein; Nuts, seeds, beans, tofu, and soy may reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. They contain healthy dietary fiber, rich in fiber, which improves digestion and prevents the onset of systemic inflammation in the body (inflammation is the causative agent of many diseases). Dairy products (cottage cheese, low-fat cheese) contain calcium, which reduces the risk of colon cancer.
