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.
