Lung Cancer Prevention
The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.
| Recommendation | Why | Get started |
|---|---|---|
| Eat tomatoes | High in the antioxidant lycopene, tomatoes may protect against a variety of cancers including lung cancer. | |
| Feast on fish | Fish eaters have been reported to have low risks of many cancers including lung cancer. | |
| Fill up on fruits and veggies | Fruits and vegetables have many constituents that contribute to their protective effect against lung cancer. | |
| Steer clear of sugar | People who eat high amounts of sugar-containing foods have had an increased lung cancer risk, whether the association may be due to other dietary or lifestyle factors remains unknown. | |
| Try a low-fat diet | Lung cancer risk appears directly related to eating foods that contain saturated fat. | |
| Choose your meats wisely | To reduce your lung cancer risk, eat less red meat or opt for meat that isn’t well-done or fried. | |
| Cut the cholesterol | Most, but not all, studies have reported that as dietary cholesterol increases, so does the risk of lung cancer. |
