Nutrition
Overview
The food that we eat can have a profound effect on many aspects of our health. Eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, for example, may reduce your risk of cancer as well as heart disease. A healthy diet can also help you meet the challenges of cancer treatment and life after cancer.
The combination of regular physical activity with a healthy diet is likely to provide more health benefits than either behavior alone. A healthy diet and regular physical activity can also help you fight the weight gain that affects many cancer survivors.
The following articles discuss several aspects of the relationship between diet and cancer prevention and survivorship. We’ve also provided links to recipes that will help you enjoy food that is both good and good for you. For more information about exercise, go to Exercise and Cancer.
