Transcript

00:00Did you know that the food on your plate can quietly protect your body every single day?

00:04Today, we'll explore how simple, comforting nutrition habits after 60 can help reduce

00:10the risk of common cancers, without stress, fear, or complicated diets.

00:16As we age, our cells become more sensitive to inflammation and oxidative stress.

00:22The right foods act like shields, calming inflammation, repairing damage,

00:26and helping your immune system stay alert.

00:30Color is your friend.

00:33Foods like leafy greens, berries, and carrots contain antioxidants that help protect your cells.

00:40Think of them as tiny bodyguards working quietly in the background.

00:45Fiber is more than digestion.

00:48It feeds healthy gut bacteria, which play a huge role in lowering the risk of colon cancer.

00:53Oatmeal, brown rice, chia seeds, and vegetables are wonderful, gentle options.

01:02As our bodies age, we need protein for strength and immunity, but we also want to reduce processed meats.

01:08Try more fish, beans, tofu, or eggs.

01:14They nourish your body without increasing inflammation.

01:18Healthy fats reduce chronic inflammation, a major factor linked to cancer development.

01:24A spoon of olive oil, a handful of nuts, or a few avocado slices can make a meaningful difference.

01:30Sugary and highly processed foods contribute to inflammation and weight gain, two things that increase cancer risk.

01:38You don't need to give them up completely.

01:43Just enjoy them less often and replace with whole foods when you can.

01:48Staying hydrated supports digestion and detoxification.

01:53Water, herbal teas, and light fruit-infused drinks keep your body functioning smoothly.

01:58You don't need a perfect diet.

02:02Just one or two changes each week can bring wonderful improvements.

02:07Be kind to yourself.

02:10Every small step counts.

02:12Your body is incredibly wise.

02:15When you nourish it with love and intention, it responds beautifully.

02:21Remember, food is not about restriction.

02:24It's about supporting the life you want to keep living.
