Recommendations for you are the same for anyone who wants to optimize his health and reduce risks of cancer- and it's pretty boring:
emphasize suits and vegetables and whole grains
avoid processed meats- especially if they have nitrate
drinking plenty of water
exercise- vigorous 3 x per week
keep your weight down
no smoking
minimize alcohol intake
minimize stress
Get plenty of sleep
Avoid stress
