Moving Toward the Optimal Diet

• Use whole grain breads and cereals. They have the vitamins, minerals, and fiber that products made with refined flour lack.
• Enjoy a variety of fresh fruit each day.
• Eat a wide variety of vegetables. Dark green leafy vegetables are essential for the total vegetarian. (One cup of greens contains more calcium than milk). Yellow vegetables are high in Vitamin A.
• Use nuts sparingly. They are high in minerals and vitamins but also contain lots of fat.
• Use a wide variety of beans and peas. They provide protein and fiber and are low in fat.

The Risks of Cancer

• Tobacco. Smoking causes one of every three cancer deaths in North America.
• Red Meat. Regular meat eaters have three times higher risk of developing colon cancer when compared with occasional meat eaters.
• Junk food. Those who will fill up on doughnuts, sodas, and potato chips lose out on the cancer-fighting substances found in fruits and vegetables.
• Inactivity. Those who log at least four hours of exercise a week cut their risk of breast and colon cancer by more than a third.
• Overeating. Among women, being heavy adds markedly to the danger from breast, colon, and endometrial cancers. And men are pushing their luck with prostate and colon cancer.
• Alcohol. Heavy drinking has been clearly linked to cancers of the liver, throat, and esophagus .In women, even daily drink or two raises breast cancer risk.
