Go for the greens
Whatever type of diet you choose to go with, focusing on vegetables is always a healthy option—and it might prevent cancer as well. ‘Stick to plant-based foods and make sure you are eating foods with a lot of color—this usually means more nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants,’ Komar says. ‘You should aim to have three cups of greens—things like kale, spinach, and collards—per week.’
Although the National Cancer Institute says studies haven’t actually proved greens prevent cancer, some research has shown a positive association. ‘When you eat more plant-based foods, you are filling your body with phytochemicals and antioxidants that fight cancer cells,’ Komar says. ‘It’s like putting your ‘armor’ on each day to protect your body.’
