Yes, according to research, fiber can help protect against breast cancer, an effect noted especially with consumption of whole grains and wheat bran. The fact that high-fiber diets are often lower in fat may partially explain this benefit of eating fiber-rich grains, beans, vegetables, and fruits, since dietary fat is believed to increase the risk of breast cancer.
Research has shown that people who regularly eat red or processed meat are up to 50 percent more likely to develop colon cancer than those who avoid meat, and a crossover study recently published in the journal Cancer Research confirmed that a plant-based diet can play a key role in cancer prevention.
Hi Health News,
Well,Thanks for posting such a nice topic here.I want to include my knowledge here.he idea of colon cancer can strike fear and dread in many people. One thing you might consider when thinking about your cancer risk is risk factors that are modifiable and risk factors that are not. In other words, thing you can do something about and things that you cannot. Changing your diet is one way to help decrease your risk factors for colon cancer. Let’s focus on how fiber can help. Fiber is a substance found in many foods, especially fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains. But let’s talk a little bit about what it does for our bodies. Humans have slowed way down on their fiber intake over the past centuries. Many of us only take in about 17 grams a fiber a day, when we should be eating about 2 1/2 times that. Guidelines support about 45 grams of fiber daily for men and about 32 grams of fiber a day for women. Basically fiber is a carbohydrate that is indigestible.
Thanks
