Do you that you will guard yourself against cancer? If you take these
foods, Try it today and boost your immunity.
Oranges and Carrots -
Oranges and carrots are rich, respectively, in the
antioxidants vitamin C and beta-carotene - which appear to protect cells by
neutralizing free radicals, molecules that cause damage that can lead to
cancer. A diet high in fruits and vegetables has been linked to reduced levels
of lung and other cancers.
Tofu -
Tofu -
The isoflavones contained in soy beans have a gently
estrogen-mimicking effect in the body. This may help block the effects of
stronger estrogens, both natural and those from environmental chemicals from
sources such as plastics and pesticides. This may reduce the risk of hormone-linked
cancers in both women and men.
Green Tea –
Is a powerful
antioxidant that appears to stop damage at a genetic level in lab cultures. In
studies with animals it also stops tumors from forming their own blood supply
network, which means they can’t grow. Green tea is lower in caffeine than black
tea or coffee, but drinking large amounts can still lead to problems such as
trouble sleeping and nausea
Garlic -
The smelly compounds in garlic are potent anti-cancer
agents. All of the onion family, including leeks and shallots, contain these
compounds, too. In lab studies, chemically induced cancers were interrupted by
the active compounds formed from allicin (which comes from garlic). Studies in
humans show a lower risk of several common cancers in those who eat lots of
garlic, to get the most out of garlic, chop or crush the clove and eat it raw
or cook it lightly.
Whole-Grain Cereals
Whole-Grain Cereals
Fiber found in whole-grain bread and cereal is important
for digestive and hormonal health. The fiber gives the colon something "to
work with" and also promotes activity of good bowel bacteria. Grains are
rich in several other compounds that have been linked to reduced cancer risk
Yogurt –
Probiotics, the beneficial bacteria found in live yogurt,
promote good digestive health and may boost the performance of the immune
system. Regular yogurt intake has been shown to increase levels of immune
anti-cancer compounds such as interferon and natural killer cells
Tomato Sauce –
Tomato Sauce –
The compound in tomatoes thought to be key is lycopene, a
potent free-radical scavenger. Lycopene inhibits the growth of prostate cancer
cells in lab studies and is associated with lower prostate cancer risk in men
with high intakes of tomato products; blood levels of lycopene are much higher
when tomatoes have been cooked than when eaten raw.
