Diet, nutrition and prevention of cancer

Abstract

Healthy nutrition, physical activity and lack of stress are the three most important components of health. Modification of food habits may prevent many cancers and result in a healthier population and significant savings in healthcare expenditures. Potential anticancer effects of food-related components should be further researched in clinical trials on different models for their effectiveness and toxicological documentation. Furthermore, extensive research work should be carried out on these components to evaluate their possible applications, toxicological and particular genotoxic profile against a wide range of cancer in both either in-vitro or in-vivo.
