Foods scientifically proven to kill cancer
08/12/2016 / By D. Samuelson
In my household, each morning is greeted by a warm glass of clean water, organic baking soda and lemon. This keeps our bodies more alkaline/less acidic, which is critical for health. But that’s just one of many amazing foods that can help keep you free of disease, including cancer. What are some of those cancer killing foods? Natural News provides the list:
Omega-3
Oily fish, fish oil, flax seed oil, hemp oil, and healthy oil blend supplements provide omega-3 fatty acids (and other beneficial fatty acids), which fight inflammation and make the body less hospitable to cancer cells.
Cruciferous Vegetables
Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussel sprouts, watercress, kale, collard greens, cauliflower, bok choy, turnips, rutabagas, radishes, arugula, and more. These vegetables contain sulforaphane and other helpful compounds, which help fight tumors, breast, prostate, brain, and colorectal cancers, as well as leukemia.
Berries
Black raspberries appear to reign supreme, though all berries contain cancer fighting phytonutrients and high amounts of ellagic acid, which inhibit tumor growth.
Maitake and Shiitake Mushrooms
Mushrooms boost immune function and are a great source of antioxidants. They are also rich in vitamins C and B as well as calcium and other minerals. . .
Tumeric
Curcumin, found in turmeric, inhibits the spread of cancer (metastases) along with its anti-inflammatory and oxidative effects. . .
Tomatoes
The active compounds found in tomatoes, carotenoids and lycopene are very helpful, especially in the fight of prostate and pancreatic cancer in men. . .
Folate
Egg yolks, avocadoes, apricots, green leafy vegetables, and pumpkin are among the foods rich in folate. For meat eaters, chicken livers are very high in folate. . .
Garlic
Garlic reduces inflammation, fights free radicals, and fights cancer.
Grapes
The compound found in red grapes, resveratrol, is a powerful antioxidant that also saves cells from oxidant-caused death.
