1. High fiber foods are essential for cancer prevention. Fiber can help decrease the risk of cancer. Start consuming foods that are high on fiber such as fresh vegetables, fruit and grains regularly.

2. Avoid obesity. Some researches show that obesity increases the risk of cancer, especially breast, uterus, colon, kidney and gall bladder cancers.

3. Consume foods containing vitamin A and C such as vegetables like broccoli and fruits like bananas, oranges, papayas, tomatoes, and mangoes. These foods are rich in antioxidant and can help prevent esophagus, larynx, lung and stomach cancers.

4. Cut down consumption of fatty foods such as fried foods and offal. Foods that are processed for long periods of at high temperatures are equally as bad.

5. Avoid cooking processes that can produce procarcinogen such as smoking, baking, roasting and overcooking your food. Avoid microwaving your foods as well. Boiling and steaming are the most preferable method of cooking.

6. Reduce the consumption of foods containing artificial sweeteners and food coloring as well as those with preservatives.

7. Consume more vegetables which are members of the cabbage family such as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower. These vegetables can protect you from stomach and respiratory cancers. Broccoli is known as a ’super food’ and is known to prevent cancer.

8. Stop smoking and keep away from alcoholic drinks. Smoking can potentially cause lung cancer.

9. Always consume clean foods. Make sure you wash raw foods before you consume them to get rid of harmful chemical substances and pollutants.

10. Add garlic to your cooking. It contains sulfur compounds that potentially reduce tumor growth and stimulate the immune system to fight against cancer.

11. Consider adding strawberries or blueberries to your morning cereal. Berries are rich in antioxidant which helps neutralize free radicals that will potentially damage body cells and lead to cancer.

12. Exercise regularly. Exercising helps improve circulation, ward off stress and reduce the risk of cancer.

13. Stress can trigger cancer as well. While avoiding stress seems impossible, you can minimize it by exercising, engaging in relaxing activities, or interacting with other people.

In 2007 the World Cancer Research Fund created an expert report entitled ‘Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective’. Researchers looked at all evidence concerning the links between cancer and diet, exercise and body fat. The overall results were quite predictable, in that the findings ascertained that people can reduce their risk of cancer through healthy eating, regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight. However, the links between body fat and cancer were stronger than previously thought.

The panel created ten recommendations from the research. These are:

1. Body fat: Be as lean as possible within the normal range of body weight

2. Exercise: Be physically active every day

3. Weight-gain promoting food and drink: Limit consumption of food dense in energy; Avoid drinks containing sugar

4. Plant food: Most food intake should be of plant origin

5. Animal Foods: Limit consumption of red meat and avoid processed meat

6. Alcohol: Limit alcoholic drinks

7. Preservation, processing, and preparation: Limit salt consumption; Avoid moldy cereals (grains) or pulses (legumes)

8. Dietary supplements: Aim to meet nutritional needs through food alone

9. Breastfeeding: Mothers to breastfeed; children to be breastfed

10. Cancer survivors: Follow the recommendations for cancer prevention

Looking at these recommendations many of us may be concerned that we are not following the correct diet or exercise program. It is easy to get caught up in nights out drinking and quick takeaway meals as they are so convenient and, unfortunately, tasty. There are three important things to remember when making changes to our lifestyles:

1. Get in touch with how you actually feel when you have had too much to drink, eat unhealthy food or do not exercise. It is likely that you don’t actually feel very good at all.

2. Remember that even small changes can have a positive impact. You do not need to go on a drastic detox, although some people prefer this approach.

3. Your health is important as it allows you to enjoy life to the full. Poor lifestyle choices can increase your chances of getting cancer.

These lifestyle changes are equally important for people who have had a diagnosis of cancer. In fact many are adopting detoxification diets and other methods of reducing the toxins in their bodies. Angeles Health International offers an alternative cancer treatment called functional oncology.

The program consists of many different stages, one of which is cellular nutrition. This includes detox, alkalinization, a hypo allergenic food plan, supplementation, amino acid IV therapy and essential fatty acid IV therapy. Functional oncology is therefore a holistic approach to cancer treatment.

All cancers involve the malfunction of genes that control cell growth and division. Every cell in the body has a program that tells it what to do, called the DNA or the genetic code.

If the cell DNA code gets changed a bit by hormonal imbalance, chemicals, or free radicals, mutations occur. The cells with mutated DNA no longer look like the original cells we were born with. Also, mutations accumulate with age, that’s why about 78% of all cancers are diagnosed in persons 55 years and older.

About 5% of all cancers are strongly hereditary. However, most cancers do not result from inherited genes but from damage to genes occurring during one’s lifetime.

We all have a few cancer cells in our bodies, which are normally suppressed by our immune system. We need about a billion cancer cells to get to the lump or bump stage, which means a tumor takes years to develop.

Cancer is, by and large, a man-made disease. There is a lot you can do now to significantly reduce that risk. Be aware of the multiple factors that can bring on this disease as well as the many nutritional interventions that can reduce your cancer risk.

Factors That Can Cause Cancer

1. Constant Emotional Stress

Negative emotions are the most powerful aspect of creating illness. Even the CDC (Center for Disease and Prevention) states that 85% of disease is caused by emotions. If you are constantly stressed or harboring angry, fearful, worrying, cynical, depressed or pessimistic emotions, the body can generate free radicals that promote DNA damage.

Look closely at your life and identify anything that is out of balance. If you have a hard time addressing and resolving it yourself, seek professional help (such as a life coach or therapist).
Are you always looking at a glass half empty? Changing your attitude from negative to positive can influence a situation and emotional outcome.
Learn to honor your feelings and be truthful to yourself instead of suppressing them by saying things like “I’m just fine”. People who are capable of releasing their emotions alleviate tension in the body and are generally happier.
Having a support system along with healthy outlets for stress (such as exercise or playing a musical instrument) are ever so important for emotional wellness.
Live your life with purpose, passion, and gratitude.

2. Toxins Accumulating In The Body

In modern days, we are continually exposed to numerous environmental and dietary toxins. Once these toxins enter the body, they tend to accumulate (especially in the fat cells) and produce enormous amounts of free radicals which in due course, damage the DNA. Hence, it is crucial to recognize and avoid them in the first place.

Environmental toxins:

Use of tobacco products and exposure to secondhand smoke
Air pollution
Excessive sun exposure
Toxic chemicals in household cleaners, air fresheners, bug sprays, soaps, personal hygiene products, and cosmetics.
Radiation exposure from diagnostic exams such as CT scans, X-rays, and mammography. Try to minimize having such exams or if you can afford it, opt for MRI. A much cheaper and effective alternative is thermography, which detects precancerous and cancerous tissues that are hot in contrast to benign lesions that are cool. Unfortunately, most insurance policies still don’t cover it yet.
Electromagnetic radiation from cell phones and cordless phones. Two recently released long-term studies found that radiation from cell phones substantially increase the risk of salivary gland and brain tumors. For this reason, it is safest to use the speaker, wired headsets, followed by bluetooth headsets (lower radiation than cell phones). Try not to hold wireless phones directly to the ear.

Dietary toxins:

Pesticides and herbicides in conventionally grown produce
Antibiotics and hormones in factory-farmed meats and farmed fish. If possible, choose organic, grass-fed meats (second best is organic meats) and wild-caught fish from pristine, cold water. Fish caught from clean waters are void of mercury which is a toxin to the brain.
Genetically modified foods (GMO) such as canola oil and soy products
Preservatives and additives in processed foods
Nitrates and nitrites in processed and smoked meats
MSG
Oxidized or rancid fat from refined polyunsaturated oils made from soy, cottonseed, corn, sunflower, and safflower. These oils are high in omega-6 fats and promote inflammation in the body. They are often found in processed foods, fast foods, and restaurant foods.
Carcinogens from charred or burned meats. Avoid frying or charbroiling. Instead, boil, poach, steam, or roast at 300 degrees F or below.
Artificial sweeteners
Toxic gases released from Teflon and other nonstick cookwares
Harmful chemicals from plastic water bottles leaching out and contaminating the water. If you leave the bottle in a hot car or reuse it, the exposure is magnified.

3. Extra Pounds

It is crucial to maintain a healthy weight throughout life. Two-thirds of the Americans are either overweight or obese. Extra pounds raise the risk of many cancers, including breast, colon, esophageal, kidney, pancreatic, and uterine. If you need help and support in losing weight healthily, contact me for a complimentary phone consultation regarding the Metabolic Typing Nutrition Program.

4. Hormonal Imbalance

We all have cancer-protective genes in our bodies, they are like light switches. Sadly, when we age, these switches get turned off as our hormonal production declines. Of course, by not managing stress, eating badly, and consuming and living with chemicals, we put even more stress on our entire hormonal system.

To reinstate these cancer-protective genes, we need to live and eat better and restore the hormones to proper balance. When you replace your hormones, it is critical that you use bio-identical hormones that are exactly the same as those produced by the body, not the synthetic hormones manufactured by drug companies as they have been shown to cause cancer. Please consult a healthcare professional who is familiar with bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

Below are some hormones that have a direct effect on cancer growth:

DHEA is a key hormone that decreases the quantity of an important enzyme involved in the pathway that feeds energy to cancer cells. By keeping DHEA at the right level, this pathway becomes less active. People who are constantly stressed and have fatigued adrenals have lower DHEA levels, which means they are more prone to stimulating the growth of cancer cells.
Estriol by itself is a weak estrogen. But in the presence of other estrogens such as estradiol or estrone, it becomes an anti-carcinogen and is cancer-protective. As we age, the body makes less estriol, supplementing with proper amounts can reduce cancer risk.
It is crucial to have the right balance of 2-hydroxyestrogen and 16 alpha-hydroxyestrogen, both are estrogen metabolites (by-products of estrogen in urine). If there is more 2 than 16, breast cancer risk is lower. If it is the other way round, more 16 than 2, the risk is higher. This 2/16 ratio is the single greatest factor impacting estrogen-sensitive cancer risk and is also totally modifiable through dietary interventions (see below).
2-methoxyestradiol (another estrogen metabolite) is a very potent anticancer hormone that the body manufactures. It also inhibits the growth of fibroid cells in the uterus.

5. Excessive Alcohol Intake

Studies show that women who drink more than 2 drinks a day significantly increase their free iron (iron not bound to protein) concentrations in breast tissue. Free iron triggers intense inflammation and free radical generation.

However, one’s iron intake does not correlate with risk of breast cancer. It is high alcohol intake and excessive estrogen that lead to a higher incidence of invasive breast cancer.

6. Too Much Or Too Little Exercise

Exercise is crucial as it increases oxygen supply to the cells. Normal, healthy cells require sufficient oxygen to function well, whereas, cancer cells can only multiply and flourish in an anaerobic (no oxygen) environment. What’s more, when you sweat, it carries away a lot of toxins accumulated in the body, especially the toxins in the fat cells.

Having said that, too much exercise is not beneficial either as the body becomes constantly stressed, producing a vast amount of free radicals that can eventually lead to DNA damage.

Diet That Reduces Cancer Risk

Limit sugar intake as cancer cells ferment sugar to create energy to grow and spread. Sugar also produces excess insulin which acts as a second stimulant for cell growth, cell division, and ultimately multiplication of cancer cells. Therefore, pay attention to how much sugar and refined carbs (which acts like sugar) you consume at one time as increased blood glucose level means more insulin in the body.
Vitamin D3 (from sun and/or supplements) is the most powerful vitamin in preventing new cancer and inhibiting established cancers by stimulating and strengthening the immune system. When you increase your D3, make sure the body has adequate vitamin K as they work together as a team. Good dietary sources of K are green leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach, collard greens, swiss chard, turnip greens, mustard greens, brussels sprouts, and broccoli.
Brassica vegetables boost the body’s level of 2-hydroxyestrogen in reducing breast cancer risk. Eat 3 or more servings a week of broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cabbage, collard greens, Kohlirabi, rutabaga, turnips, bok choy and mustard greens. You can also get the benefits of these vegetables in a supplement called indole-3-carbinol.
More omega-3 fats and less omega-6 fats as their ratio influences the rate of cell proliferation through hormones called prostaglandins. Omega-3 fats reduce inflammation while omega-6 fats increase it. Good sources of 3s are fish caught in pristine, cold waters and grass-fed meats. Unfortunately, most cows in the U.S. are corn-fed, so their meat and dairy products are much higher in omega-6 fats instead.
Eat a large variety of vegetables and fruits to get a balanced dose of different antioxidants which protect against the free radicals. Do not over focus on just one particular antioxidant.
Natural folic acid from green leafy vegetables are far superior in boosting the body’s natural defenses against cancer than the synthetic folic acid in fortified refined flour products. In addition, make sure you have enough vitamin B12 as it works with folate to protect DNA from damage. Vitamin B12 is not found in plant foods but only in animal products, including calf’s liver, meats, poultry, shellfish, fish, and dairy products.
Drink enough clean, filtered water every day as it keeps the lymphatic system clean and helps the body detox. For an average person, drink 8 to 10 eight-ounce glasses a day.
Have adequate protein at every meal and snack throughout the day, which will help the liver eliminate toxins through the bile and stool. Protein also helps to maintain an even blood sugar level.
Increase fiber (soluble and insoluble) intake to reduce the risk of colon, breast, and prostate cancer. Aim for 40-50 grams a day which is more than double what an average American eats every day.
Lastly, there is also compelling anticancer evidence for resveratrol (in red wine but only drink in moderation), curcumin (in turmeric), green tea, grape seed extract, pomegranate extract, quercetin (in onions, apples, and grapes), Conjugated Linoleic Acid (in grass-fed meats and its dairy), luteolin (in celery, green pepper, carrots, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano), and ginger.

The Bottom Line

To reduce your cancer risk,

Avoid:

constant emotional stress,
accumulation of toxins (environmental and dietary) in the body,
extra pounds,
hormonal imbalance,
excessive alcohol intake, and
too much or too little exercise.
Do:
limit sugar intake,
make sure you have enough vitamin D3,
eat more Brassica vegetables,
have more omega-3 fats and less omega-6 fats,
eat a large variety of vegetables and fruits,
drink enough clean, filtered water, and
have adequate protein and fiber.

* Eat soy. Soy protein improves the liver’s ability to product HDL cholesterol. British studies suggest that consuming 14 grams of soy protein daily can raise your HDL cholesterol by 4%. This is the equivalent of two 8-oz. glasses of soy milk or one soy burger.
* Exercise. You can raise your HDL cholesterol by walking for 30 minutes per day. If you don’t have that much time to spare, you can get the same benefit by doing some kind of strength training for 20 minutes, three times per week. The more muscle tissue you have, the more sugar you burn. When your blood sugar stays steady, your liver produces more HDLs.
* Drink modestly. You might be surprised to learn that drinking a modest amount of alcohol each day can help stall the breakdown of HDL cholesterol. Researchers suggest that you drink either 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1 ½ ounces of spirits daily to achieve this goal. If you are a teetotaler, you can drink cranberry juice or calcium fortified orange juice.
* Eat nuts. A handful of nuts each day can life your HDL cholesterol levels by 11%. Nuts are loaded with monounsaturated fats which the liver uses to produce HDLs. The best nuts you can eat are pistachios, almonds or peanuts.

Cancer and your diet

The following excerpt comes from a well-known medical magazine and the idea was to deal it with people who are more looking at natural remedies and life without pills.

In cases where patients have already been diagnosed with cancer, treatment is definitely necessary.

— An apple a day plus a veggie-intensive diet are the stars of new cancer prevention studies.

— A chemical in apples helped prevent colon cancer in laboratory studies.

— Three or more servings of vegetables a day — potatoes not included — reduced risk of cancer In studies.

— “It’s been estimated that up to one-third of cancers are related to food we eat. … That’s a lot of preventable cancers” . Antioxidants in fruits and vegetables protect the body from damaging free radicals “like rust-proofing your car. Cyanidins are also found in abundance in red wine and cocoa.

— Green leafy and cruciferous vegetables got “particularly strong” cancer prevention protection.

— Cruciferous vegetables include broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. One serving (one cup) daily of greens like spinach as well as one-half cup of broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts, showed strong cancer protection in studies.

— Whole fruits, yellow-orange-red vegetables, and processed tomato products like tomato sauce and juice.

— Nutrients and vitamins like selenium and zinc have some cancer prevention effects.

The points mentioned could be very valuable to those people wanting to be pro-active in preventing sickness-especially if they want to live naturally .

There are some people who cannot, or will not,live on pills day-after-day—because that is not how we were made to live.For these people I feel dearly as I myself detest taking pills.

That’s why information from a NATURAL CANCER REMEDY SITE is worth looking at. See how natural foods and nutrients can be incorporated in your CANCER DIET

Unfortunately we don’t have a cure for cancer yet even though we spend billions of dollars a year searching for one. I have every confidence that someday we will find a cure for this horrible disease and eradicated from the face of the planet, but until then just about the best thing we can do is focus on prevention and that’s what I would like to talk about in this article today.

I don’t think it’s a huge leap in logic to say that you should eat less foods that have been shown to increase the risk of cancer and eat more foods that have been shown to decrease the risk of cancer but it needs to be said anyway because most people don’t follow this simple rule.

But I guess before you can implement that rule you have to know which foods are good for you and which foods are bad for you.

It’s not all that difficult when you get right down to it. Foods that are bad for you include most meats, most prepackaged foods, most processed foods, and any other food like this. Foods that are good for you include fruits and vegetables as well as vegetable proteins, dietary fiber, and clean and clear water.

Let’s get into foods that are good for you in a little more detail. Just about all fruits and vegetables are good for you but certain ones are especially good when it comes to shielding you from cancer because they contain phytochemicals you should be eating every day if possible.

These foods include onions and garlic because they have sulfur that helps protect cells from oxidative damage. Crucifers are another great cancer shield and these include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and things like this. You should also eat nuts and seeds because they help block the growth of blood vessels that tumors need to get nutrients from the bloodstream.

Whole grains are also great cancer prevention foods and these include things like oats and wheats and just about any other grains that contain fiber as well as flaxseed and rye and even millet. Legumes such as beans and peas and lentils are also fantastic prevention foods. And of course we shouldn’t forget fruits. Most citrus fruits are great and also blackberries and strawberries and raspberries. And don’t forget tomatoes, are they a fruit or vegetable? It doesn’t matter, eat them because they’re great for you.

So there you have several very simple tips that you can use to help shield yourself against cancer. Yes it really can be as easy as eating the right foods but most people, on some level, already know that. It’s hard to eat a healthy diet in our fast-paced world but it may be the only thing that will stop you from getting cancer.

Cancer is one of the most devastating diseases on the planet. Anybody who has gone through this disease and survived or has a friend or family member who has knows just how intense and horrible it can be. Luckily there are many different things that anybody can do to help prevent cancer in themselves and that’s what I would like to talk about in this article today.

We can’t yet cure cancer but we do know many things that help prevent it. Unfortunately there is no quick fix and many of these techniques require major lifestyle changes from what most of us are used to today. They mainly have to deal with food, what we eat, and how we eat it which may not be music to most people’s ears.

Most studies show that eating less dietary fat can cut your risk of cancer dramatically in most cases. On the flip side, eating more dietary fat certainly raises the risk for certain cancers such as breast and colon and maybe even prostate.

It really basically just comes down to one thing. You should eat less of the foods that are known to increase your risk of cancer and you should eat more of the foods that help prevent it. So what foods are these?

Beef, pork, poultry, and fish consumption should be minimized as much is possible because they can be concentrated sources of dioxin, polychlorinated biphenyls and other carcinogens.

On the other hand, you should increase your consumption of vegetables and fruits as well as dietary fiber. Always wash your produce thoroughly if you can’t peel it completely. The jury is still out on whether or not organic food is better than regular food when it comes to produce but I tend to believe it is so I buy organic whenever possible.

Apart from eating more healthy you should also increase your consumption of water. A good rule of thumb is to drink eight 8 ounce glasses of water a day or roughly 4 tall glasses based on regular sized kitchen glasses. Water helps flush out carcinogens from your body and overall promotes good health.

Finally you should cut out as much processed foods as you possibly can because these foods almost always have a lot of trans fatty acids and also refined sugars and salts.

So there you have several very simple tips that almost anybody can use to help cut their risk of cancer, sometimes by as much as two thirds or more. If prevention is the name of the game then this is clearly the first play in the playbook.

In this article today I’d like to give you several important tips for things that you can do to help prevent cancer in yourself.

One of the main areas to focus on is diet. Studies have shown that how we eat and what we eat is a major contributing factor to cancer prevention.

That means avoiding certain types of food if at all possible. Eating less dietary fat can definitely cut your cancer risk for things such as breast, colon, and also prostate cancers.

You should try to minimize the consumption of certain meats including beef, pork, and even poultry and fish.

You should also try to eat more vegetables and fruits but along with eating more of these things you should also be aware of how you prepare them. When it comes to preparation, it’s very important to wash your produce thoroughly as well.

Another important tip is to drink more water. Some studies have shown that drinking between 6 to 8 eight ounce glasses of water every single day does a good job helping to flush carcinogens out of your body which is very important to cancer prevention.

You should also try to consume as much dietary fiber is possible. This comes in the form of fresh fruits but also vegetables and whole grains. Fiber generally speeds that passage of feces through the intestines. This helps reduce the amount of time that those carcinogens stick around in your body which can only be a good thing.

Along with avoiding certain foods, it’s a good idea to add certain foods that are known to be good in the fight against cancer. When you come right down to it, almost all fruits and vegetables and grains are good for you and this area but some of them are even better than others.

These foods include onions and garlic as well as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and brussel sprouts. Nuts and seeds are especially good as well and whole grains; and tomatoes are great too.

So there you have several tips on how to prevent cancer that are fairly simple and straightforward and shouldn’t take too much effort on your part.
