3. The Danger of Processed Foods
In our fast-paced lives, convenience often leads us to processed foods. These items are typically high in unhealthy fats, sugars, and preservatives, which can contribute to inflammation and increase cancer risk. Many processed meats contain nitrates and nitrites, which can convert into carcinogenic compounds in the body. Whenever possible, choose whole, minimally processed foods. Fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins should be the foundation of your diet.
