There is a lot of research being done to find out how diet may affect the risk of cancer developing. Some research has shown that being overweight and not eating enough fruit and vegetables could increase your risk of cancer.

Eating a balanced diet is one of the best choices you can make for your overall health. Keeping to a healthy weight will help you maintain or regain your strength and have more energy.

Making changes to your diet is not always easy. You could make changes gradually so that it is easier to eat differently. Many people find making this positive choice helps give them back a sense of control. It can also help you feel that you’re doing the best for your health.

Eating well and keeping to a healthy weight will help you maintain or regain your strength, have more energy, and have an increased sense of wellbeing.
