Lower Your Cancer Risk with our 15-Day Whole-Food Plant-Based Jumpstart Program
Did you know…
Only about 10% of cancer cases are due to genetics.
Over 90% of cancer cases stem from environmental and lifestyle factors including diet.
High fiber intake is strongly linked with lower risk for multiple cancers.
Plant-based, low-fat diets improve survival and health markers even in diagnosed cancers.
Already Have Cancer and Want to Slow the Growth? What’s the best diet for that?
Why Lifestyle Matters for Cancer Prevention and Treatment:
Research shows that certain lifestyle factors dramatically impact cancer risk and cancer outcomes:
Nutrition – Diets rich in whole plant foods reduce inflammation and exposure to harmful compounds while supporting immune health.
Plant-based, low-fat diets improve survival & health markers in diagnosed breast cancers
Weight management – Maintaining a healthy weight lowers risk for breast, colorectal, and other cancers.
Movement – Regular physical activity strengthens your body and reduces risk of multiple cancers.
Avoiding harmful substances – Limiting alcohol, avoiding tobacco, and minimizing exposure to carcinogens all make a difference.
Eating more whole grains can substantially reduce colorectal cancer risk
One study found that just 6 ounces of whole grains per day was linked with a 21% lower risk of colorectal cancer.
The good news? You can make meaningful changes starting today!
