Epidemiology identifies associations between aspects of diet, nutrition, and physical activity with cancers. Some nutritional exposures (alcohol and processed meat) are likely causal factors. Cancer protection mainly derives from a systemic metabolic environment that promotes healthy cell replication and tissue integrity. Such a nutritional state can be attained avoiding excess adiposity through healthy dietary patterns rich in plant foods (legumes, whole grains, pulses, vegetables and fruits), with modest meat, fish and dairy, low in alcohol and salt preserved foods, and an active way of life, avoiding sedentary behaviors’..
