READ MORE: Alarm over mystery cancer 'epidemic' striking under-50sA nutritionist who specializes on cancer patients has revealed the diet tips she gives her patients to avoid developing the disease.
Experts say this may be because patients who eat less fiber have more inflammation in their digestive system, raising the risk of damaging mutations to cells. But others have been suggested to have the opposite effect, including papers which found taking calcium lowers the risk of colon cancer. Ms Andrews said: 'I do not drink alcohol, ever, no type of alcohol, none. Alcohol increases the risk of six cancers, at any consumption. No alcohol.'
'If you want a donut, have a donut. But don't be like, oh because it has protein it is a better choice.' But over longer periods, some doctors have suggested it could damage DNA and cells and raise the risk of cancers — although their claims are not backed up by major peer-reviewed studies.Exercise 150 minutes a weekAndrews also trumpeted the World Health Organization's recommendation of at least 150 minutes of exercise every week.
This may be because the body maintains a higher level of blood sugar over thsee periods for longer, raising the risk of damage to cells.Sleep seven hours a nightThe CDC says everyone should sleep from seven to nine hours every night, and Andrews echoed this sentiment.'It balances your hormones and helps your cells rebuild, and your muscles rebuild. If you are going for cancer treatment and your body needs to repair from cancer treatment you need to sleep.
