Diet and Lifestyle for Cancer Prevention and Survival
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and it is estimated that one in three people will develop cancer in their lifetime. While there is no surefire way to prevent cancer, there are certain lifestyle and dietary changes that can help reduce the risk of developing cancer and improve the chances of survival for those who have already been diagnosed.
The most important thing to remember when it comes to cancer prevention and survival is that diet and lifestyle are key. Eating a healthy, balanced diet and engaging in regular physical activity can help reduce the risk of developing cancer and improve the chances of survival for those who have already been diagnosed.
The Role of Diet in Cancer Prevention and Survival
Eating a healthy, balanced diet is essential for cancer prevention and survival. Eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can help reduce the risk of developing cancer. Additionally, limiting the intake of processed and red meats, as well as avoiding foods that are high in fat and sugar, can help reduce the risk of developing cancer.
In addition to eating a healthy, balanced diet, it is also important to limit the intake of alcohol. Alcohol consumption has been linked to an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer, such as breast, liver, and colorectal cancer. Limiting alcohol consumption to no more than one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men can help reduce the risk of developing cancer.
The Role of Physical Activity in Cancer Prevention and Survival
Engaging in regular physical activity is also essential for cancer prevention and survival. Regular physical activity can help reduce the risk of developing cancer by improving the body’s ability to fight off cancer cells. Additionally, physical activity can help improve the quality of life for those who have already been diagnosed with cancer.
It is recommended that adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week. This can include activities such as walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling. Additionally, it is important to engage in strength training exercises at least two days per week.
The Role of Stress Management in Cancer Prevention and Survival
Stress management is also an important factor in cancer prevention and survival. Stress can have a negative impact on the body’s ability to fight off cancer cells, so it is important to find ways to manage stress. This can include activities such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises. Additionally, it is important to get enough sleep and to make time for relaxation.

Another great video. Thanks.
Great information
This is so true!! Mediterranean diet healthy in SPITE of the oil and fish rather than because of it. I just donated. 💰 thanks for all you do!
Thank you so much Dr. Greger for educating us and saving our lives!
❤️ Dear NF-Team.
Thank you for the hard work and the outstanding presentation.
Kind regards from Germany
Hard to argue with hard data.
I’m all for longevity considering the reverse. But longevity demonstrates diminishing returns.
Nothing about decreasing sugar? Nothing about interittent fasting? I think you guys forgot or don't know about? Whole grains also not fantastic.
This guy was sitting next to me at McDonald's the other day eating a big Mac. He was wearing a disguise but I knew it was him because I recognized his voice.
Wow, and so many in the study!… eh, not so much, only 2 or 3 people in the study!
Why isn't this information on every news broadcast, every evening? Surely, there is nothing more important than this for the overwhelming majority of people?
my mother is feeding through a tube to her stomach with spv throat cancer treatment, the food they supply for her is basically bottles of cow milk proteins with added vitamins. seems like incredibly poor nutrition and it's all she's got until she can regain her ability to eat normal foods
Real doctor, real evidence, real valuable!
What about the connection between breast cancer and birth control pills?
Why are nuts and seeds not mentioned for a healthy diet?
That graph half way through this video was worth a pause to digest how prevalent some of the bad lifestyle choices are.
I'm actually seeing a lot of high fiber, highly processed food lately that is highly processed and very high in fiber. Especially food advertised as keto, high protein and low calories containing added cellulose and synthetic fibers
Waiting outside a grocery store yesterday, it was so sad and depressing to see numerous morbidly obese people just casually going in and out. “Old” people (but not that old!) having to use the go karts, canes. Just slightly overweight people, but out of shape. Just a picture (I know, just what I can observe with my eyes) of poor health. Then, my friend, who has asthma and whom I was sharing a video with about asthma and nutrition, comes out with just bags of bad stuff…milk, dairy, eggs, meat, processed foods, etc. 🤦🏽♂️ It is so very very depressing.
My wife is a 5 year survivor of stage 1a pancreatic cancer. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation
Every scan and blood test she's had since her treatment shows no cancer at all
Guess what. She's NOT and NEVER will be a vegan
We have also reversed the damage done by the chemotherapy and radiation
"Co-consumption of Vegetables and Fruit, Whole Grains, and Fiber Reduces the Cancer Risk of Red and Processed Meat in a Large Prospective Cohort of Adults from Alberta’s Tomorrow Project"
People eating the most unprocessd red meat (over 500g per week) had 22% less cancer than those eating the least amounts of red meat (like vegetarians and vegans do) when both groups ate plenty of plants(something like 5 or 6 servings per day of fruits and vegetables). So if we value other observational studies should we also value that one and draw the conclusion that vegans should add 500g or more unprocessed red meat to their diet to reduce their cancer risk by 22% ?
From the 2015 BMC article, "Oxalate induces breast cancer" Not risk, or maybe, or might or it could – "but all." "We measured oxalate concentration in both human breast tumor tissues and adjoining non-pathological breast tissues. We found that all tested breast tumor tissues contain a higher concentration of oxalates than their counterpart non-pathological breast tissue." Check your diet carefully.
I actually feel sad when I stop and think about the people who do not hear or who ignore this message. It should be shouted by treating oncologists!
