Research indicates that green, orange and yellow fruits and veggies prevent cancer, along with cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower. But it's not just what you add to your diet; it's also what you subtract. Cut back on red meat and animal fat, which increase the risk of cancers including colon cancer. Also limit your alcohol consumption -- drinking too much can cause cancer. Studies show that men who down more than two alcoholic drinks a day and women who have one drink of alcohol a day increase their risk factors for certain types of cancer. Exercise is also an integral part of cancer prevention. The American Cancer Society suggests 30 minutes of exercise at least five days a week.
