Foods commonly recommended include broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, berries, tomatoes, garlic, leafy greens, beans, and whole grains. They provide fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, and plant compounds that may help protect cells and reduce inflammation.
The greatest benefit comes from eating a varied, mostly plant-based diet rather than relying on one “miracle” food. Limiting processed meat, highly processed foods, excess alcohol, and sugary products may also support cancer prevention.
Anyone receiving cancer treatment should discuss major diet changes or supplements with their medical team. Special diets, herbs, and supplements have not been proven to cure cancer and may sometimes interfere with treatment.
