Cancer remains a leading health challenge in the U.S., but lifestyle choices \u2014 especially diet \u2014 can play a role in lowering the risk.<\/p>\n

Cancer prevention<\/a> isn’t about one “superfood,” said Dr. Andr\u00e9 Goy, the physician-in-chief of oncology at Hackensack Meridian Health’s John Theurer Cancer Center in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Instead, overall patterns matter \u2014 reducing inflammation, maintaining a healthy weight<\/a> and limiting exposure to carcinogens, he noted.<\/p>\n

“This being said, science consistently points toward a predominantly plant-forward, fiber-rich diet,” Goy told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He recommends focusing on five key food groups<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

See the list below.<\/p>\n

The four most popular berries<\/a> \u2014 blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries \u2014 all have cancer-preventive properties, Goy said.<\/p>\n

The berries “are packed with anthocyanins, pigments with strong antioxidant activity,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Research suggests berry phytochemicals may reduce DNA damage, lower chronic inflammation and support cellular repair pathways,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether you like to eat tomatoes raw<\/a> with salt or simmered into pasta sauce, this sun-ripened fruit is packed with nutrients.<\/p>\n

Tomatoes are the primary dietary source of lycopene, Goy said, a “carotenoid antioxidant associated in several studies with reduced prostate cancer<\/a> risk.”<\/p>\n

“Interestingly, data suggest that even cooked tomatoes are very beneficial,” he added.<\/p>\n

Consumers have plenty of options when it comes to whole grains, Goy said \u2014 and each offers cancer-fighting benefits.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s oats, brown rice, quinoa or whole-wheat toast, these grains “provide dietary fiber, which improves gut microbiome health, reduces colorectal cancer risk and supports metabolic and weight regulation,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Fiber is one of the most consistently supported dietary factors in cancer prevention<\/a>,” he added.<\/p>\n

The most common cruciferous vegetables<\/a> \u2014 members of the Brassica family \u2014 include broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale and arugula.<\/p>\n

The category also includes turnips, radishes, bok choy and collard greens, offering plenty of options for health-conscious consumers.<\/p>\n

These vegetables are rich in fiber, vitamins, antioxidants and glucosinolates, Goy said.<\/p>\n

When chopped or lightly cooked, glucosinolates “convert into biologically active compounds like sulforaphane,” the doctor added.<\/p>\n

“Laboratory and translational research suggest sulforaphane may help detoxify carcinogens, reduce oxidative stress and support DNA protection mechanisms,” Goy said.<\/p>\n

If you’re using garlic or onions to prepare tomatoes or cruciferous vegetables, these alliums have cancer-preventive properties as well.<\/p>\n

Garlic and onions “release organosulfur compounds when crushed or chopped,” Goy said.<\/p>\n

“Experimental data show these compounds may inhibit tumor cell growth, support detoxification pathways and be associated with lower rates of digestive cancers,<\/a>” he said.<\/p>\n

Goy emphasized that consumers should feel empowered by the fact that biology responds to lifestyle<\/a> over time.<\/p>\n

“Paying attention to food type is not as complicated as one thinks,” he said \u2014 noting that “there are hundreds of thousands of plants we can eat.”<\/p>\n

He also added that nutrition<\/a> is just one piece of the puzzle, alongside sleep, physical activity and screening \u2014 as well as minimizing alcohol and avoiding tobacco.<\/p>\n

“Prevention is not dramatic,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It is cumulative. And it works.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
