(Photo submitted) Healthy lifestyle helps reduce risk of cancer By Nancy McGill Eating well, being active and staying at a healthy weight are among the best ways to reduce our risk of cancer. It's estimated one third of all cancers may be prevented this way. In this age of information overload, it's difficult to sort through what's fact and what's fiction. Here are some basics facts and tips: • Gradually make changes in your eating habits. You don't have to give up all your favourite foods. Try new foods and reduce some of those you know are not the best choices. • Eat a wide variety of foods - it's easier to get all the nutrients your body needs that way. • Increase your vegetable and fruit intake. Aim for five to 10 servings of each, every day. Vegetables and fruit are sources of many vitamins, minerals, fibre, antioxidants and phytochemicals that help protect against cancer. • Choose high fibre foods. This includes whole grain breads and cereals, legumes and many vegetables and fruit. Aim for five to 12 servings of grain products daily. • Make lower fat choices. Buy lean meats and low fat dairy products and avoid high fat snacks and desserts. At each meal, control added fat portions, like butter, to a size close to the tip of your thumb. Choose ways of cooking, such as baking, broiling, and barbequing, where you don't need to add fat. • Limit the amount of alcohol you drink. Women should consume no more than one drink per day and men should consume less than two drinks per day. Check the portion sizes too. One drink is considered one five-ounce glass of wine or 1.5 ounces of spirits or liquor. • Healthy eating doesn't have to be difficult but it does require planning. If you're new to meal planning, begin with planning your main meals each week. Build your grocery list around the menu. This work done in advance makes it easier to fit healthy eating into a busy schedule. • Challenge yourself to move towards a healthy body mass index (BMI). Having a BMI between 20 and 25 is considered ideal.
