STUDY – a group of researchers have discovered that there are 5 types of foods and drinks that can help you stop the cancer and tumor growth, and help the body in killing the cancer cells. YES, these 5 foods and drinks have powerful anti-carcinogenic properties.
Many scientists and medical experts have stated that these foods are even more effective than the conventional chemotherapy treatment. These foods can actually stop the blood supply to the tumor cells, property which is known anti-angiogenesis. They also say that this type of process involves the creation of new blood vessels in the human body. The angiogenesis process is enhanced in some periods of our lives, especially in newborns. At adults, this process activates in case of wound when tissues and capillaries need to be regenerated and refreshed. The angiogenesis process is usually regulated by activator and inhibitor molecules, and usually inhibitors predominate. When there are carcinogenic cells in the human body, they stimulate the activators to increase the vascular growth. This results in the production of new blood vessels. The cancer cells release their activators of angiogenesis. These are the molecules that “trick” the human body and stimulate the growth of new blood vessels that supply the tumor to nutrients and oxygen.
Tomatoes – a recent study has discovered that people who consumed tomato juice more than 5 times a month have significantly reduced their risk of prostate cancer by almost 50%. Tomatoes are loaded with the compound lycopene, which has strong anti-angiogenic properties. Lycopene is a fat-soluble compound and this is why it requires proper absorption through the digestive tract.
Turmeric – the curry spice is loaded with turmeric powder. Turmeric speeds up the fat-burning process and improves the health in general. You should add turmeric to your meals every day!
Dark Chocolate – dark chocolate is loaded with organic compounds that are biologically active and function as antioxidants. These include polyphenols, flavanols, catechins, among others.
Coffee – coffee helps prevent cancer, not cause it. Different studies show coffee may play a role in the prevention of cancers of the breast and colon and may also help to reduce the risk of recurrence in survivors of both. Coffee consumption has been linked with reduction of cancers of the oral cavity and skin.
Blueberries – they’re loaded with many healthy nutrients and contain high amounts of phytochemicals, which can protect from many different types of cancer. Blueberries are also able to reduce the oxidative stress and stop angiogenesis. They are also very useful in protecting and fighting against ovarian cancer.
