A cancer dietician says there are only seven lifestyle changes you need to make to reduce to reduce your list of cancer.

Around the world, about 10 million people die from cancer every year, making it one of the largest health problems that we face today.

There are over 200 types of the disease, depending on the organ or tissue that it originates from.

Every day we're hit by an array of different cancer warnings, with a huge number of habits and food groups apparently putting us at risk.

But registered cancer dietician Nichole Andrews, who goes by @oncology.nutrition.rd on TikTok, says reducing our cancer risk is a lot simpler than you might think.

She said in a TikTok video: "There are only seven things - nutrition and lifestyle - that increase your cancer risk. Seven things - it's the complete list."

Alcohol and tobacco

The first two things are alcohol and tobacco, as she explains: "Tobacco is well known, but alcohol isn't for most people.

"In fact, about 50 percent of Americans don't even know that alcohol increases cancer risk - it increases risk of six different cancers."

To reduce your risk of cancer, Nichole says, you need to cut alcohol completely out of your diet.

Processed meats

According to Nichole, you need to wave goodbye to burgers and full English breakfasts.

She says: "Number three is gonna be processed meats, deli meats, bacon, sausages, those pre cooked meats, the stores, they increase the risk of colorectal cancer at any consumption.

"The more you consume, the higher risk of colorectal cancer."

Excess body fat tissue

Nichole then explains that the next is having excess levels of body fat tissue, as you'll want to get it to a healthier level.

"This doesn't mean you have to have the scale number go down," Nichole says, but you could need to get your amount of body fat tissue down to a healthy level.

If not, you could increase the risk of 13 different cancers.

Not eating enough plants

Next, she highlights: "You need to be aiming to get 30 grams of fibre from plant foods a day.

"If you have a low fibre diet, it's going to increase your risk of cancer."


Not getting enough exercise

Nichole then explains that you need to aim for 150 minutes of exercise or physical activity a week, as by 'not moving, you're increasing cancer risks'.

The NHS says you either need to be doing 150 minutes of moderately intense activity or 75 minutes of very intense exercise every week, and you should do strengthening exercises to work all major muscle groups at least two days a week.

Taking to many supplements

She concludes by saying to avoid taking excessive supplements, as they can eventually damage cells.

Turns out that it sounds quite easy to reduce your risk of cancer. It's a matter of cutting these things down bit by bit to reach your long-term health goals.
