Anti-Cancer Foods to Eat | Foods to Eat to Fight and Prevent Cancer

As we all know, cancer is one of the top disease in the medical chart that bears some of the greatest mortality rate. There are different types of such that attacks the human body. Anyone who is diagnosed of the Big C usually experience great depression because of the fact that it is a malignant disease that will cause death on most of its patient.

But did you know that you could actually prevent cancer by eating the right food? Other than a stress-free lifestyle and exercise, food is one source of what’s your health life is going to be. So to help you with it, I discovered some foods that you might want to eat and have a longer healthy life.

First on the list is Turmeric.

This spice found in curry powder and some mustard, may slow the spread of cancer and the growth of tumors. It actually has the same effects on the body as certain cancer drugs do. Pair it with black pepper to absorb 2,000 percent more turmeric. Use the combo on roasted veggies or kebabs or in soups.




Cabbage

Cruciferous veggies, a class that includes cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, appear to prevent lung, colon and breast cancer. Different types of estrogens have been associated with both increased and decreased cancer risk. Cruciferous vegetables help your body process estrogen in a way that might lower risk. Steam or stir-fry them; boiling degrades beneficial compounds. Also consider sauerkraut; fermenting these veggies help release more cancer-fighting compounds.


Strawberries

Munching on vitamin C filled foods may help stave off oral, esophageal, lung, stomach, pancreatic and colon cancers. The antioxidant might block the effects of cancer-causing free radicals, help prevent cancer from spreading and enhance immunity. Trials of vitamin C supplements have not reduced cancer risk as well as food can, so stock up on brightly colored edibles such as kiwifruit, strawberries, guava and citrus.
