Foods That Prevent Cancer

Cancer, one of the world’s most terrific diseases – it can affect any part of the human body, it can affect anyone, regardless of their age…There is no way to completely eradicate it, but there are ways to prevent it from happening.

The most pleasant way to prevent cancer is probably eating; good food can not only keep you full of energy, it can also keep you alive and healthy for a longer time. Researchers specialized in nutrition are always on the look for such foods. The latest they have discovered include curry, fish, citrus zest, white tea, whey, berry, nuts, sesame oil, etc.

Curry (rich in turmeric) is believed to reduce the inflammation effect of an ulcer-causing bacterium, called H. pylori, which can also cause colon and gastric cancer.

Fish, so rich in vitamins A and D and in Omega-3, helps men prevent prostate cancer and those who eat it more than three times a week have 40% less chances to get ill.

Citrus zest, consumed regularly, reduces the risk of squamous-cell skin cancer by a third, and animal studies suggest that this aliment could even fight the existing tumours and shrink them.

Three cups of white tea a day help you prevent colon cancer and even block the growth of the colon-polyp as efficiently as an anti-inflammatory drug. Besides, there are no side effects to drinking tea, other than visiting the bathroom a bit more often.

Whey protein is the perfect weapon to fight prostate cancer. It is a great source of amino acid cysteine, and one of the best foods to find it in is yogurt, especially the clear part of it.

Berries seem to be the new miracle-aliment of cancer prevention. They contain several tumour- blocking elements and can prevent colon and prostate cancer, as well as head and neck tumours. To get the necessary daily quota, drink cranberry juice with high juice percentage and eat cookies with dried cranberries.

Finally, nuts and sesame oil are essential in cancer prevention due to the large quantities of gamma tocopherol – a form of vitamin E – which helps in fighting prostate and lung cancer. This vitamin is not dangerous for the body and it has been proven that it can even kill harmful cells without affecting the healthy ones in the process.

So….all those of you who want to lead a better life…..dig in……but only eat the foods that make you stay healthy, not the ones who do the opposite!
