Moderation: Of course, diet is only one variable in preventing cancer, but a very important one. Fiber, antioxidants, and lots of fluids is a good baseline; avoiding being overweight is important too. If at least 2/3 of your diet is coming from a variety of vegetables and fruits you are probably eating pretty healthy.

Balanced diet.: A great way to avoid cancer is by not smoking, and not drinking alcohol in excess. Although nothing is 100%, these 2 things plus avoiding long exposure to dangerous chemicals, etc. Can really help avoid many cancers. A balanced diet is also excellent to avoid cancer. Eating fruits and vegetables really helps avoid GI cancers, especially colon. They also have lots of vitamins that fight cancer.
