Funding

This project was fully funded by Walk the Walk, a charity dedicated to raising awareness and funds for breast cancer. We’re incredibly grateful for their generous support. Projects like this wouldn’t be possible without it.

Often during treatment for cancer, food can seem unappealing and many people lose their appetite altogether. There are also other nutritional and dietary complications that people with cancer can experience during treatment. This is why we created a 15-recipe cookbook that focuses on both nutrition and flavour.

We believe that food is a big part of recovery – emotionally and physically. By focusing on flavour, we hope these new recipes help to make mealtimes more enjoyable.

We often hear that we should eat less processed meat such as bacon, but what actually is processed meat, how can I tell if a meat is processed, and how can I go about eating less?

One of our Cancer Prevention Recommendations is to eat little or no processed meat, as we have strong evidence that it increases the risk of bowel cancer.

So, eating only small amounts or no processed meat altogether can help to lower your risk. Processed meat is also high in salt and fat, so cutting down will be better for you.

This vibrant factsheet contains everything you need to know about processed meat and what practical changes you can make to help you eat less.

We often hear that we should eat more fibre, but do you know:

• why is a fibre-rich diet important?
• which foods are high in fibre?
• how much fibre should we eat?

Eating a healthy balanced diet that contains plenty of fibre-rich food helps to support your general health. It also helps to reduce your risk of bowel cancer.

This colourful factsheet contains everything you need to know about fibre and what practical changes you can make to help you eat more.

Eating a healthy portion size can help control our weight, which – in turn – can help reduce our risk of a number of cancers. Getting portion wise is one of the first steps for anyone wanting to manage their weight.

With a lot of confusion over portion sizes, and how much of a food we should eat, this poster provides guidance on what a healthy portion size is for a range of everyday foods.

Put up this poster in your kitchen, office, or workplace, to help keep you on track with your portions.

This poster is available in A3 and A4 sizes in print. Health professionals should email publichealth@wcrf.org to request bulk orders.

For many people, red meat is the ‘go-to’ centrepiece of their main meals, but there’s strong evidence that eating too much red meat isn’t good for our health.

Fish is a healthy, delicious and highly versatile alternative to red meat. A lot of people stick to the battered and breaded varieties as they don’t know what to do with fish.

Yet this book of seven recipes – including one provided by star chef Nathan Outlaw – will inspire you to be more adventurous with fish.

All the recipes have been designed to follow World Cancer Research Fund’s healthy eating recommendations and to show you how easy and delicious it can be for you to eat more fish. The recipes are also low in salt, added sugar and saturated fat.
