It also matters how you prepare, store, and cook your food.<h3>Boosting the cancer-fighting benefits of food</h3>Here are a few tips that will help you get the most benefits from eating all those great cancer-fighting foods, such as fruit and vegetables:Eat at least some raw fruits and vegetables as they tend to have the highest amounts of vitamins and minerals, although cooking some vegetables can make the vitamins more available for our body to use.When cooking vegetables, steam only until tender. This preserves more of the vitamins. Overcooking vegetables removes many of the vitamins and minerals. If you do boil vegetables, use the cooking water in a soup or another dish to ensure you’re getting all the vitamins.Wash all fruits and vegetables. Use a vegetable brush for washing. Washing does not eliminate all pesticide residue but will reduce it.Flavour food with immune-boosting herbs and spices. Garlic, ginger, and curry powder not only add flavour, but they add a cancer-fighting punch of valuable nutrients. Other good choices include turmeric, basil, rosemary, and coriander. Try using them in soups, salads, and casseroles.<h3></h3><h3>Tips for cutting down on carcinogens</h3>Carcinogens are cancer-causing substances found in food. They can form during the cooking or preserving process—mostly in relation to meat—and as foods starts to spoil. Examples of foods that have carcinogens are cured, dried, and preserved meats (e.g. bacon, sausage, beef jerky); burned or charred meats; smoked foods; and foods that have become moldy.To reduce your exposure to carcinogens:Do not cook oils on high heat. Low-heat cooking or baking (less than 240 degrees) prevents oils or fats from turning carcinogenic. Instead of deep-frying, pan-frying, and sautéing, opt for healthier methods such as baking, boiling, steaming, or broiling.Go easy on the barbecue. Burning or charring meats creates carcinogenic substances. If you do choose to barbecue, don’t overcook the meat and be sure to cook at the proper temperature (not too hot).Store oils in a cool dark place in airtight containers, as they quickly become rancid when exposed to heat, light, and air.Avoid food that looks or smells moldy, as it likely contains aflatoxin, a strong carcinogen most commonly found on moldy peanuts. Nuts will stay fresh longer if kept in the refrigerator or freezer.Be careful what you put in the microwave. Use waxed paper rather than plastic wrap to cover your food in the microwave. And always use microwave-safe containers.<h4>The five worst foods to grill</h4> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Chicken breast, skinless, boneless, grilled, well done</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Steak, grilled, well done</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Pork, barbecued</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Salmon, grilled with the skin</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hamburger, grilled, well done</li> </ul>Source: Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine<h2></h2><h2>GMOs, pesticides, and cancer risk</h2><img src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/R9irN5sX7tuNzpN2WlgE0r6seJ4=/0x0:3031x2021/1200x800/filters:focal(1274x769:1758x1253)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/62318679/shutterstock_148204901.0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 968px" />Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are plants or animals whose DNA has been altered in ways that cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding, most commonly in order to be resistant to pesticides or produce an insecticide. While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the biotech companies that engineer GMOs insist they are safe, many food safety advocates point out that these products have undergone only short-term testing to determine their effects on humans.Some animal studies have indicated that consuming GMOs may cause certain types of cancer. Since most GMOs are engineered for herbicide tolerance, the use of toxic herbicides like Roundup has substantially increased since GMOs were introduced. Some studies have indicated that the use of pesticides even at low doses can increase the risk of certain cancers, such as leukaemia, lymphoma, brain tumours, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. However, research into the link between GMOs, pesticides, and cancer remains inconclusive.<h3>If you’re worried about GMOs and pesticides, buy organic or local foods</h3>In most countries, organic crops contain no GMOs and organic meat comes from animals raised on organic, GMO-free feed. Locally grown produce is less likely to have been treated with chemicals to prevent spoilage.<h2></h2><h2>Other lifestyle tips for cancer prevention</h2><img src="https://www.medicalbag.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2019/01/exercising-couple.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 950px" />While your diet is central to preventing cancer, other healthy habits can further lower your risk:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Be as lean as possible without becoming underweight. Weight gain and being overweight or obese increases the risk of a number of cancers, including bowel, breast, prostate, pancreatic, endometrial, kidney, gallbladder, oesophagal, and ovarian cancers.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Be physically active for at least 30 minutes every day. Physical activity decreases the risk of colon, endometrial, and postmenopausal breast cancer. Three 10-minute sessions work just as well, but the key is to find an activity you enjoy and make it a part of your daily life.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Limit alcoholic drinks. Limit consumption to no more than two drinks a day for men and one a day for women.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Where possible, aim to meet nutritional needs through diet alone, instead of trying to use supplements to protect against cancer.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">It is best for mothers to breastfeed exclusively for up to 6 months and then add other liquids and foods. Babies who are breastfed are less likely to be overweight as children or adults.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">After treatment, cancer survivors should follow the recommendations for cancer prevention. Follow the recommendations for diet, healthy weight, and physical activity from your doctor or trained professional.</li> </ol>Source: World Cancer Research Fund InternationalAuthors: Melinda Smith, M.A. and Lawrence Robinsonhelpguide.org[MEDIA=youtube]kNZIAzsJDzs[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
