Healthy diet 'important step to reducing ovarian cancer risk'
A healthy diet can be an important step for people trying to reduce their risk of developing ovarian cancer, an expert has claimed.Frances Reid, director of public affairs and communications at Target Ovarian Cancer, targetovariancancer.org.uk, has highlighted the general effects that this can provide and the reduced chance of disease that it can confer.
She also claimed that eating the right foods will allow the body to remain healthy, both in terms of weight and more widely.
"Keeping your weight within a healthy range, sticking to sensible drinking habits and not smoking are also important for good health and cancer prevention," she explained.
Ms Reid advised people to remain vigilant about their body and to learn what its normal responses are, so abnormal behaviours or symptoms can be followed up and investigated, allowing diseases to be identified at an earlier point.
Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths in women and can often spread rapidly within the abnominal cavity.
