Eating a high-fibre, plant-based diet may delay progression to multiple myeloma, an incurable blood cancer, finds a study by researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). Multiple myeloma is a cancer that forms in plasma cells, a type of white blood cell. The healthy plasma cells help fight infections by making proteins called antibodies that find and attack germs. In multiple myeloma, cancerous plasma cells build up in bone marrow.
A high fibre diet can fix many issues in the body including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, improve gut health and lower risk of type 2 diabetes. It can also help prevent certain types of cancers.
