Obesity is a risk factor in six types of cancer, a landmark report recently announced. Consuming alcohol, red meat, and processed meats like ham, sausage, and bacon, also raises your odds, while eating more fruits and non-starchy vegetables and getting more exercise lower your risk. So, here are some ways to a healthier lifestyle:
- Stash baby carrots, red pepper slices, and snap peas in a container in the fridge and graze on them instead of last night’s leftovers.
- Up the appeal of fruit: Serve fruit salsa as a side with chicken or fish; microwave an apple with cinnamon and a little sugar; freeze grapes.
- Stretch red meat by using it in stir-fries or combining it with ground turkey or veggie crumbles for burgers.
- Skip dessert after eating out with a friend, you know you’d go for the molten chocolate cake and take a walk instead.
- Don’t count on vitamin supplements to protect you against cancer; in some cases, they may even increase your risk.
