Best anticancer fibre sources are: wheat bran, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, navy beans, whole
wheat, whole grains, legumes, whole grain bread, and prunes. Simple modifications in your diet can increase the amount of fiber you eat. Use whole grain breads instead of white bread and eat plenty of broccoli, and other raw Fruit and vegetables. Have a big bowl of high fiber bran cereal for breakfast.
Look to reduce red meat in your diet, and exchange for fish. Ifyou do eat red meat regularly be sure to eat it with a good source of fibre and take time off from the red meat for a period of 4 weeks and give the colon chance to rest and cleanse as required.
Ensure you are getting plenty of Omega 3 Fatty acids from fish, flaxseed or supplementation.
