Maintaining a healthy weight has long been linked to a reduced risk of cancer. However, a new study reveals that the Mediterranean diet, a widely praised eating pattern for its weight-loss benefits offers more. Researchers found that this diet helps lower the risk of certain cancers associated with obesity, and interestingly, it's not just the weight loss that's making the difference.
In the latest large-scale study involving more than 4,00,000 participants, researchers noted that greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet offered a 6% reduction in the risk of obesity-related cancers such as breast cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic, liver, and kidney cancers compared to people with lowest adherence.
