What role does diet play in cancer screening outcomes?

Diet can significantly influence cancer risk and outcomes, including the effectiveness of cancer screenings. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains may enhance your body’s ability to fight cancer and improve your overall health. It’s advisable to maintain a healthy weight and limit processed foods, red meats, and sugary drinks. By adopting healthier eating habits, you may not only reduce your risk of developing cancer but also ensure better results from screenings when they do occur. Discussing dietary changes with your GP can be beneficial.
