14 Foods
that Will Fight Cancer For You
|
Cancer, unlike
many other diseases, comes from within the innermost processes of our bodies. It
is one of the most internally focused diseases, and as such, what we do with our
bodies throughout our life and continue to every day - has a huge impact on our
chances to develop it. Nutrition plays a huge role, and that is why it is
crucial to know the foods that fight to prevent cancer from developing in our
bodies.

People fear cancer and many believe there is
little they can do to prevent it. They put factors such as hereditary or genetic
or sheer bad luck. However, research shows
that this is not the case, and that lifestyle factors such as diet can play a
major role in preventing cancer.
Did you know that about a third of all
cancers are linked to bad eating habits?

There are small
amounts of cancer in all our bodies. Most of them never get anywhere and are
destroyed early on. What we call cancer are the ones that continue to get bigger
and aren't stop by the immune systen. Anticancer molecules present in fruits and
vegetables fight cancers at the source, before they can reach
maturity.

You can think of
cancer as a chronic disease, one that needs to be handled on an ongoing basis,
whether you have it or not, with proper diet and healthy
habits.

Two myths to forgo:
1. Fruits and vegetables contain pesticide
residues that causes cancer.
FALSE: The residue is in trace amounts
and no study has ever found a link between them and cancer.
2. Only organic fruits and vegetables offer
real health benefits.
FALSE: In fact it would be just as
well to consume regular fruits and vegetables and only occasionally eat organic
foods.

A few more tips to fighting
cancer:
1. Quit smoking (you knew that,
though).
2. Try to reduce red meat and overall calorie
intake.
3. Avoid overly-processed foods (chips, soft
drinks, hamburgers).
4. Avoid greasy BBQ meat. The greasy
droppings you see that fall and catch fire produce toxic substances known as
aromatic hydrocarbons
