For cancer patients and survivors, nutrition guidelines recommend eating plant based foods more often. This means focusing on whole grains, vegetables, fruit, beans, nuts and seeds. Animal foods like meat, fish, poultry and dairy products can certainly be part of your meals, but in smaller portions and less often.
Diets that are low in red meat and high in fibre-rich foods such as lentils, beans and chickpeas are associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer and are recommended for cancer survivors.
Lentils are very high in fibre. A ¾ cup serving has 12 grams of fibre, which is half the amount most women need in a day, and one third the amount most men need each day. They're also an excellent source of folate, a B vitamin that is needed to form red blood cells and for proper nerve function.
