Be Well: Foods That Can Lower Risk of Cancer

Healthy lifestyle choices are linked to a lower risk of different types of cancer. So here to break down what we need to know is Wellness coach Coy Rodriguez. So I know, you know, you spend a lot of time with your social media followers, all the millions of them to let them know. Hey, listen, this is the best thing that you can do. And unfortunately for so many people cutting out the alcohol is one of those things if you want to make your chances as lowest as possible, when the cancer, then the less alcohol you drink, the better off you are. Now, is there a better particular like a better wine or not really? Not really for cancer prevention? Like it's the alcohol that again, if you can cut that out or minimize it, you're going to put yourself in a better position, right? Because I know there was like a meta study and they took a look at all the different data and it really just came out that alcohol is really no good. Even the benefits in wine are outweighed by the amount you'd have to drink to get those benefits. So it's kind of a and really having that healthy lifestyle in general overall is one of those things that can really make a difference. Oh, yeah, you reduce all types of cancer risk by having a good lifestyle and good eating habits. Ok. So let's take a look here. These are all veggies. So these are all green sulfur rich and these are great because they help your body to get rid of excess estrogen, which is also linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. Ok. So what, what is the difference between the different things that we have here? So these are all from one family but the broccoli sprouts are so great because they're high in sulfurophane. And that is the most tested compound in food right now for cancer prevention. Really? Now, does it matter if I boil them or you know, bake them any way you can get them in? The only difference is that broccoli sprouts have much more sulfurophane than whole broccoli. But any of these green vegetables cauliflower also are gonna in any way that you can ingest them that you like is gonna be? So are these are these like the microgreens? Yes, microgreens sprouts, same kind of thing. But those are great that you can add on to a salad in any way that you can get them in. They're gonna be helpful. Ok. And now what about these different types? So this is eating the rainbow, this is getting in as many colors as possible. You have, you have orange, you have red, greens, blues, they all contain different antioxidants. And those antioxidants are good to mop up the free radicals in your body that are going to cause some damage to your DNA. And that's also linked to cancer. So these are the kind of really like snacks or add ons that I want. So what, what's the benefit of a raspberry? So the raspberry, the red, they all have Lycopen in them like the tomato. So that's going to be great. There's actually a study that shows that lycopen helps decrease your chance for breast cancer as well. Oh, wow. And now what about the blue cymes from any type of balloon fruit like blueberries? Ok. And now the peppers, does it matter like the red different than the orange? Yes, the orange also has something different that has a few other carotids that are also helpful and that's an antioxidant as well. So they all have something different. So, a mix of different colors is going to be every single day, every single week is going to be helpful. And of course, the orange and having it as the whole orange and not drinking the orange juice if you can always go for the whole fruit form or the whole vegetable form first. All right. Thanks so much.
