World Lung Cancer Day 2024: Top foods to prevent lung cancer

Lung cancer, one of the most common cancers across the world, is affecting more people as time goes on due to increased exposure to risk factors like smoking and air pollution. 1 in 16 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer in their lifetime, as per Lunch Cancer Research Foundation. More common in men than women, lifestyle factors play an important role in lung cancer prevention.

Smoking causes around 90 percent of lung cancer cases as tobacco smoke has a range of harmful chemicals that can increase risk of the disease. Quitting smoking is the best thing you can do prevent this deadly form of cancer. Apart from this your diet can be tweaked to incorporate foods that are high in fibre, vitamins, minerals and protein.
