Whether under nutrition or over nutrition has a profound effect on the health of women.

Under nutrition plays the role by decreasing immunity & making the women prone to have persistent HPV infection thus making them predisposed to various cancers.

Over nutrition leads to obesity & high glycaemic load which again predisposes the women to development of cancers.

Plant based diet rich in whole grains, limiting alcohol, red & processed meat, processed food stuffs, maintaining healthy weight and Ensuring adequate intake of protective nutrients like fiber, vit D & antioxidants can go a long way in preventing common cancers of women.
