Eating cruciferous vegetable protects against cancer of the colon.
 

 2 new research studies are out and they show that what you eat has a strong effect on whether  or not you will develop certain forms of cancer. In short, diet and lifestyle matter!

Here are a few of the findings:

~ Supplements of isolated nutrients are not better than diet for cancer risk.

~ Eating meat increases the risk of colon cancer by both the amount and frequency of eating it.

~ Moderate physical activity after breast cancer diagnosis contributes to 40% reduction of its recurrence.

~  Diet affects various types of cancer cells, including colon, lung, prostate, liver, and breast cancer.

~ Eating  cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, and bok choy,  protects against cancer of the colon.
