Foods that fight Cancer

One -third of all cancer deaths may be diet related. What you eat can hurt you, but it can also help you.

 

Avocados: rich in glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that attacks free radicals in the body.

 

Broccoli: Broccoli, especially sprouts, also have the phytochemical sulforaphane, a product of glucoraphanin - believed to aid in preventing some types of cancer, like colon and rectal cancer. Sulforaphane induces the production of certain enzymes that can deactivate free radicals and carcinogens.

 

Chili peppers and jalapenos contain a chemical, capsaicin, which may neutralize certain cancer-causing substances (nitrosamines) and may help prevent cancers such as stomach cancer.

 

Cruciferous vegetables - broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage contain antioxidants, Cruciferous are known to pull toxic waste out your body with in 48 hours of consumption.

 

Flax: contains lignans, which may have an antioxidant effect and block or suppress cancerous changes. Flax is also high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are thought to protect against colon cancer and heart disease.

 

Garlic: has immune-enhancing allium compounds (dialyl sultides) that appear to increase the activity of immune cells that fight cancer and indirectly help break down cancer causing substances.

 

Kale: has indoles, nitrogen compounds which may help stop the conversion of certain lesions to cancerous cells in estrogen-sensitive tissues.

 

Brazil nut: contains 80 micrograms of selenium, which is important for those with prostate cancer.

 

Lemons contain Iimonene which stimulates cancer-killing immune cells (lymphocytes, e.g.) that may also break down cancer-causing substances.

 

Rosemary: may help increase the activity of detoxification enzymes.

 

Seaweed and other sea vegetables: contain beta-carotene, protein, vitamin B12, fiber, and chlorophyll, as well as chlorophylones - important fatty acids that may help in the fight against breast cancer.

 

Tomatoes: contain lycopene: an antioxidant that attacks roaming oxygen molecules, known as free radicals, that are suspected of triggering cancer.

 

Tumeric: a member of the ginger family, is believed to have medicinal properties because it inhibits production of the inflammation.

 

 

Importance of Fiber

 

Fiber helps your body rid itself waste hormones, excess cholesterol, chemicals, and other unwanted toxins. Not only does fiber help improve the immune system but it also reduces the growth of cancer. A plant based and fiber-filled diet is important for cancer prevention and survival as well as overall health.

I think most health-conscious vegans should be more concerned with getting too much rather than too little fiber, as pretty much everything we eat is rich in it

Even though this is true for some it's not for the majority of my vegan friends. They eat mostly refined foods and often do not reach the recommended limit of 35 grams per day.

Besides I don't think the post is written in original here but is taken from some random site that is read by omnis maybe...

That's why I wrote "health-conscious vegans"

Probably.

I teach Food for Life Nutrition and Cooking Classes for Cancer Prevention and Survival, with the cancerproject.org.

They recommend 40 grams of fiber per day (35 close enough) if your a health conscious vegan you would reach this # each day, But many vegans ( junk food vegans ) dont get close to it.

 

Highest fiber foods: Beans!!!!

some brands of High Bran cereals

There is some evidence to suggest that certain foods and nutrients may help to reduce the risk of developing cancer or slow its progression. Here are some examples:

Fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables contain vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals (naturally occurring plant compounds) that may help to prevent cancer. Dark, leafy greens such as spinach and kale are especially rich in cancer-fighting nutrients.

Whole grains: Whole grains contain fiber, which can help to reduce the risk of colon cancer. They also provide essential vitamins and minerals that can help to keep your body healthy.

Legumes: Legumes, such as beans and lentils, are a great source of fiber and protein. They also contain phytochemicals that may help to prevent cancer.

Nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds contain healthy fats, fiber, and protein. They also contain antioxidants and phytochemicals that may help to prevent cancer.

Also, you can try buy niclosamide online, as this drug is also a very effective treatment for cancer.
I hope my answer will be helpful to you.
