Cancer Protective Diet

A High Five for High Fiber

The American Institute of Cancer Research (AICR) recommends five servings of whole fruits and vegetables a day, along with whole grains and lean proteins. If you’re not eating enough fruits and vegetables and other whole foods, you’re depriving your body of fiber, which can end up being a problem for your health. Fiber not only helps to keep you regular, but it also keeps you feeling... full longer — this can help with maintaining a healthy weight. In addition, high fiber intake is protective of certain cancers, such as colon cancer. Below are some delicious, veg-heavy recipes to help you add more and more of these fiber-rich foods to your diet.
