We know we shouldn't be ingesting pizza every day, drinking endless amounts of soda or snacking on chocolate bars for good nutrition does have a bigger role in our health than many of us realize. A poor diet can result in many health complications, as well as the increased risk of an adult developing cancer. A study has been done how more than 80,000 new cancer cases in 2015, among United States adults aged 20 and above, could be connected to a poor diet— equal to about 5.2 percent of all newly identified, aggressive cancer cases in that year.
So, what precisely creates poor food consumption? We already know that being overweight and obese can considerably increase the risk of cancer, but CNN notes that given by the study, there are some dietary factors to consider when defining a poor diet. These consist of not eating enough fruits, vegetables, whole grains and dairy products but also a great consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks, red meats, and processed meats. Low whole-grain intake was related with the largest cancer problem in the U.S, followed by high processed-meat intake, low dairy intake, low vegetable and fruit intake, high red meat intake and high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages. Although the research has some boundaries including the consideration of other time periods and effect of age, it does propose that diet can produce a significant role in increasing cancer, specifically rectal and colon cancers, which CNN notes had the highest amount of diet-related cases. That said, eating well alone is not certain to protect you from developing cancer, and it tell us that a good diet is often supplemented by other healthy behaviours, including regular exercise and hypothetically better access to healthcare.
Knowing all these circumstances, eating enough food, together with having good habits, are not a guarantee from the development of cancer, but it leads us to the idea that good nutrition certainly won't do us any damage but healthy benefits".
