- Anna Tseng, MPH, RD, LDN
- Podcast Episodes
Are you exploring plant-based eating because of cancer? You may have heard of the benefits of this lifestyle to help reduce risk of chronic disease and lower cancer risk. I know that cancer is not new to us, and most of us are affected by it in some way. Maybe you have seen a parent suffer from cancer or a beloved friend, and want to stay as healthy and strong as possible for your children and grandchildren.
If you’re moving to plant-based eating to reduce cancer risk, I want to support you in that. But here’s the key question: is moving away from meats enough, or is there something more to this? What plant-based foods are more healthful and ‘cancer-risk lowering’?
In this episode, we’ll see if adding specifically more fruits, vegetables and other whole plant-based foods to our meals can strengthen our bodies to reduce cancer risk, or if it is just eating more vegan foods and less meats or other animal-based foods in general that will make the most difference. Let’s look at this together!
