While most of the basic advice may seem fairly common sense (eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid being overweight, stay physically active) the unfortunate truth is that too few people actually practice most of it. This book provides a good insight into the role that various factors, such as diet, exercise and obesity, play in cancer prevention. It combines solid information with practical ideas for making lifestyle changes for lower cancer risk. According to the book, more than 375,000 cases of cancer in just the U.S. could be prevented through simple dietary and lifestyle changes.
The book also provides a wide range of recipes that illustrate how to prepare foods that are not only helpful in lowering cancer risk, but that are also interesting and exciting eating.
No book can lower cancer risk -- that result can only happen when a reader absorbs the advice and makes practical changes. But this book provides a good source of reliable information, plus a lot of very practical advice to help make the process much easier.
