There are many natural proven
ways to help prevent cancer.
Here are 7:
Eat Organic– A new study published in the peer-reviewed journal
Entropy
indicates that glyphosate—the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup
weed killer—may be linked to cancer. Glyphosate is just one of the many
pesticides used in food production that has been linked to cancer.
Eat Orange coloured Foods– Carotenoids are a group of
phytonutrients that provide the yellow-orange-red pigments found in
foods like carrots, sweet potatoes, apricots, mangoes, pumpkin,
tomatoes, papaya, peaches, squash, and other similarly colored foods.
You may have heard of beta-carotene, lutein, and lycopene, all of which
are specific types of carotenoids. Studies at Harvard University of
more than 124,000 people showed a 32 percent reduction in risk of cancer
in people who consumed a variety of carotenoid-rich foods as part of
their regular diet.
Eat Anti-Cancer Superfoods—Blueberries, Broccoli,
Garlic, Green Tea, Pomegranate, Tomatoes, Turmeric are some of the
excellent foods with demonstrated anti-cancer properties. The list of
anti-cancer foods is long but they share one thing in common: they are
all plant-based—fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds.
Get Adequate Vitamin D—Vitamin D is one of the
body’s best defences against disease and cancer is no exception.
Moderate and responsible sunlight exposure is still the best way to get
sufficient vitamin D.
Supplementing with vitamin D may also be necessary. A common dose is 1000
IU/day. Follow package instructions on the product you choose. Because
vitamin D is fat-soluble it can be stored in the body and build up to
excess amounts when overused.
Address a Magnesium Deficiency–According to research in the journal
Nutrition Reviews,
low magnesium intake increases the risk of cancer. Magnesium is found in almonds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds,
figs, lemons, apples, dark leafy greens, celery, alfalfa sprouts, and
brown rice. Recommended doses of magnesium vary between 200 to 800 mg
daily.
Consume Seeds for Super Immunity—Pumpkin seeds(Egusi) are
proven protectors of the prostate gland and are a great addition to men
and women’s daily diet. Choose seeds that are raw and refrigerated to
preserve the integrity of Omega 3 fatty acids they contain. Other great
seeds with cancer protection capabilities include: chia, flax, hemp,
and sunflower.
Zinc Up—Zinc is involved in over 300 bodily
functions including the production of the potent antioxidant enzyme
known as superoxide dismutase (SOD). SOD is one of the body’s best
defences against cancer due to its free-radical fighting ability. Zinc
is found in many types of sprouts, pumpkin seeds, Brazil nuts, onions,
and dark leafy vegetables.
