Each year, cancer claims the lives of around 10.0 million people around the world. Food components have been shown to alter numerous particular intracellular signaling events that frequently go awry during carcinogenesis. Many studies suggest that dietary behaviors involving the consumption of antioxidant-rich foods, as well as caloric restriction, may play an important role in cancer prevention. Gene expression patterns, such as genetic polymorphisms, can influence the response to food components by altering their specific action on targets, as well as absorption, metabolism, and distribution, among other things. This review discusses two significant cancer prevention techniques: a vitamin-rich diet and caloric restriction. It also discusses the possible molecular interactions between the two dietary strategies and the first clues of a probable synergy that would come from combining caloric restriction with antioxidant use. Caloric restriction diets have positive effects on life expectancy and the avoidance of age-related illnesses. As a result, this manuscript is based on the degenerative nature of cancer and intends to shed light on the biochemical features of not just calorie restriction but also vitamins. Both are thought to have an effect on oxidative stress, autophagy, and signaling pathways involved in energy metabolism and mitochondrial functions.
