Anybody that has ever had Cancer or knows somebody that has had it, or has a family member that has had cancer knows just how devastating and horrible it can be to the person who has it and everyone involved. Although there currently isn't any known cure, anything that we can do to prevent cancer is very important, vitally so. In fact since there isn't a cure, the only thing we can do is try to prevent it.
In this article today I'd like to give you several important tips for things that you can do to help prevent cancer in yourself.

One of the main areas to focus on is diet. Studies have shown that how we eat and what we eat is a major contributing factor to cancer prevention.
That means avoiding certain types of food if at all possible. Eating less dietary fat can definitely cut your cancer risk for things such as breast, colon, and also prostate cancers.

You should try to minimize the consumption of certain meats including beef, pork, and even poultry and fish.

You should also try to eat more vegetables and fruits but along with eating more of these things you should also be aware of how you prepare them. When it comes to preparation, it's very important to wash your produce thoroughly as well.

Another important tip is to drink more water. Some studies have shown that drinking between 6 to 8 eight ounce glasses of water every single day does a good job helping to flush carcinogens out of your body which is very important to cancer prevention.
You should also try to consume as much dietary fiber is possible. This comes in the form of fresh fruits but also vegetables and whole grains. Fiber generally speeds that passage of feces through the intestines. This helps reduce the amount of time that those carcinogens stick around in your body which can only be a good thing.

Along with avoiding certain foods, it's a good idea to add certain foods that are known to be good in the fight against cancer. When you come right down to it, almost all fruits and vegetables and grains are good for you and this area but some of them are even better than others.

These foods include onions and garlic as well as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. Nuts and seeds are especially good as well and whole grains; and tomatoes are great too.

So there you have several tips on how to prevent cancer that are fairly simple and straightforward and shouldn't take too much effort on your part.
