Experts agree – eating a diet rich in fresh, natural, wholesome and minimally processed foods that include a daily selection of vegetables, fruits such as berries, chicken (preferably free range, organic and again, minimally processed), fish, legumes, nuts, limited amounts of fats, oils such as olive and canola and healthy starches (sweet potatoes and whole grains) can prevent cancer.

Here are the top recommended anti-cancer foods:

Greens – Spinach, chard, collard, turnip and a whole family of green leafy vegetables are rich in antioxidants that protect your body’s cell structure from damage caused by ‘free radical’ cells that can cause cellular mutation and lead to cancer. One study gave spinach the top ranking of vegetables for its ability to protect against cancer. Try and eat spinach or any one from the family of green, leafy vegetables daily. They are very versatile. Hate cooked spinach? Kale and chard to bitter? Try adding just a few leaves to a salad, sauté lightly with olive oil and garlic, add to soups and stews…it really is easy to get a healthy helping without being “Popeye” Continue reading ‘Can Eating Certain Foods Prevent Cancer?’ »

Garlic – Garlic is full of a compound called allicin. Chopping, slicing or dicing a fresh clove of garlic causes this compound to undergo an amazing chemical change. All of these chemicals function as antioxidants that prevent many types of cell mutations that can be the beginning of a cancerous cell. Study continues but points to evidence that in addition to cancer, garlic can aid in the prevention of cancers of the prostate, kidneys, ovaries, larynx, esophagus, prostate and colon. The best way to consume garlic, especially if you not a big fan of the strong flavor is to slowly bake or roast with it. Cooking appears to increase its potency and effect and long cooking reduces the strong flavor into a sweet, smoky flavor. There really is no set amount to consume…just eat as much as you can daily. And if the flavor is just not something you can learn to like, there are a number of pure garlic supplements that will allow you to consume garlic without feeling ‘vampire-proof’.

Now, can you think that if this bowel is so important, what are the chances that cancer will develop in the bowel? Actually, it has become quite common. The small bowel is a long ‘tube’ that takes up nutrients and water from foods as well as constructs waste materials into feces. This is all done by the workings of the 3 divisions of the small bowel, particularly the duodenum, the jejunum and the ileum. Hence, it is considered to not only be a vital part of the excretion system, but also of the digestive system. In addition, it provides a link for the stomach and the large intestine, more commonly known as the colon. Continue reading ‘What is Small Bowel Cancer?’ »
