Khaberni - Dr. Andrei Simakov, an ultrasound diagnostics specialist, indicates that smoking and alcohol are traditionally considered among the main causes of cancer.
According to him, smoking and alcohol are not the only factors causing cancer.
Dr. Andrei Simakov said:
"Nutrition is the most important factor among risk factors, along with smoking and alcohol. Because ultimately, our bodies are a product of what we eat. Therefore, incorporating whole grains into the diet, increasing physical activity, increasing consumption of white meat, and reducing consumption of foods that contain combustion products and sausages, reduces the overall risk of cancer."
He added that science still knows very little about the gut microbiome, but it is essential to maintain it in good condition through a balanced diet.
He pointed out that the so-called "Western diet," which contains high levels of saturated fats, processed foods, and sausages, may pose a risk factor for cancer.
