Nobody is saying you have to give up red meat altogether (well, except for vegetarians), but toning it down a little can certainly improve your chances when it comes to cancer. It's totally fine to sit down and enjoy a nice, juicy steak every couple of weeks, but definitely don't do this every single day. In fact, some completely meat-free days will probably do you the world of good.
Eating red meat every day can increase your chances of contracting cancer by more than 20 percent, which is super high! Colon cancer in particular is something that heavy meat eaters are often diagnosed with. Fish and poultry actually protect against cancer, so include them on your menu more and you'll be reducing your risk of getting it. If you do eat red meat, be sure to buy grass-fed.
