5. The Risks of Salt and Preservatives
High salt intake is another dietary concern, particularly when it comes to processed and pickled foods. Excessive consumption of salt is linked to stomach cancer and can lead to other health issues, such as hypertension. Foods like pickles, cured meats, and canned soups often contain high levels of sodium. To lower your cancer risk, limit your intake of processed foods and choose fresh ingredients whenever possible. Use herbs and spices to flavor your meals instead of relying on salt.
