Whether or not ovarian cancer runs in your family, it’s a good idea to adopt an anti-ovarian cancer diet. One simple anti-ovarian cancer food addition is to eat about a half a cup of endives two times a week.

Some studies have shown this can help reduce your risk of ovarian cancer by a whopping 73%.
