Diet is one of the many factors that can influence cancer development, with people who have a diet rich in saturated fats being at especially high risk. Anyone, even pre-cancer diagnosis, can take steps to have a balanced diet and give their body all the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals it needs to maintain a healthy internal environment.

It is not always easy for everyone to eat a balanced diet, especially if they have glandular problems, struggle to maintain a healthy weight (either underweight or overweight), or have other dietary requirements. Supplements can be beneficial, especially antioxidants like vitamin A, C, and E. Still, they must be carefully monitored by a professional if supplements are the only source of the vitamin in the person’s diet. Too many antioxidants can cause cardiovascular problems, making it essential to consume as much as the body needs and no more than that.
