Amid rising cases in young people developing cancer, there's one drink that can lower your risk of developing the disease significantly, according to health experts.

Cancer has been on the rise in younger generations for the past few years, and much research is going into uncovering why this worrying trend is happening.

While many still assume cancer only impacts the older generation, there's no doubt the disease can have deadly consequences for the younger generation as well.

There are many things you can do however to help reduce your chances of developing cancer, some of which you can incorporate into your diet.

Gastroenterologist Dr Sethi explained how just one drink can lower your chances of developing cancer, and it's a pretty single one you can make from the comfort of your own home.

In a YouTube video, the health expert explained how having a green smoothie a day will keep the doctor away... literally.

"Blend leafy greens like spinach or kale with cucumber, celery and a little ginger. It is nutrient-dense and anti-inflammatory," Dr Sethi said.

I think we're all aware how busy life can get and it can be pretty difficult to cook healthy of an evening amid all the stressed of everyday life.

That's why smoothies are particularly good for those with an on-the-go lifestyle.

Healthline explains: "It’s not always easy to get the daily 2 1/2 cups of fruits and vegetables that the American Cancer Society recommendsTrusted Source to prevent cancer and disease.

"Thanks to blenders, you can boost your fruit and veggie intake by drinking them in a smoothie. Unlike juices, smoothies contain all that good fibre.

"Smoothies that contain greens like spinach (or other vegetables) in addition to fruits are the best choice, as they tend to be lower in sugar and higher in fibre — while still tasting sweet."

So, for a green smoothie for example, you're going to need one heaping cup of fresh spinach, one cup of coconut water, half a cup of frozen pineapple chunks, half a banana, all topped off a quarter avocado.

There are many other ways to help reduce your risk of developing cancer, including getting the steps in.

A senior lecturer in biochemistry at Loughborough University in the UK, Dr. Mhairi Morris, wrote in The Conversation: "At 7,000 steps, the risk of developing cancer dropped by 11%. At 9,000 steps, it dropped by 16%.

"Beyond 9,000 steps, the benefits levelled off. The difference in risk reduction became marginal, and varied slightly between men and women.
