8 Foods That May Help Lower Cancer Risk

3. Mushrooms

Studies suggest mushrooms, especially reishi, turkey tail, and shiitake, may reduce the risk of prostate and breast cancer due to their antioxidants and immune-boosting properties.

4. Allium Vegetables

Garlic, onions, leeks, and shallots contain compounds with antioxidant and anti-cancer effects, potentially lowering the risk of gut-related cancers.

5. Wakame

This edible seaweed may suppress the growth of breast, colon, and kidney cancer cells, though more human research is needed.

6. Lycopene-Rich Foods

Tomatoes and watermelons contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that may help protect against cancer and heart disease.

7. Beta Carotene-Rich Foods

Carrots, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash provide beta-carotene, though its role in cancer prevention is still under study.

8. Fatty Fish

Salmon, tuna, and sardines are rich in omega-3s and vitamin D, which may help lower cancer risk when consumed regularly.

While no food guarantees cancer prevention, a nutrient-rich diet can contribute
