FOODS THAT FIGHT AND TAME CANCER

 This blog post will destroy the fear you have about cancer after you’ve read to the end!

But why does the mere mention of cancer strike fear into people’s hearts?

And why do people go into unwarranted fear and depression when they hear that someone in their family has been diagnosed to have cancer? 

Should cancer elicit such respect or fear from people when it’s mentioned, even when cancer has been proved to not be a death-sentence?

HIV/AIDS once brought similar fears to the hearts of people globally, when it first surfaced. Everyone thought that everybody in the world would soon die off in a few years from then. That never happened.

I still remember the story I read about a guy who died because he became terribly afraid when he was told his blood test showed he was HIV positive. However, after his death, an autopsy revealed he did not die of the virus infection. He had died of fear of the HIV/AIDS virus! 

There was a mistake in the lab where he and another guy had gone for HIV/AIDS test at the same time. The blood samples were swapped and the positive result was erroneously handed to him. And guess what? The guy who was actually positive didn’t die!

In the same vein, many people had died because fear struck their hearts when they were told they had cancer. Cancer didn’t kill them.

Fear, anxiety and depression are related, and are known to suppress the immune system, and thus exposes the victim to all forms of negative health conditions that could result to fatality.

Nonetheless, there are a number of foods – “super-foods” that can prevent cancer from ever occurring during a person’s life time, if regularly consumed. 

Read to the end of this post to discover how you can fight and tame cancer with the consumption of appropriate diet that battle the disease to a standstill.

Cancer is America’s second most deadly disease, which brings so many risk factors with it. Therefore, it’s logical that we should review or take a second look at what we’re eating. This necessary step would lead to our deliberately incorporating nutrient-rich foods that are proven by science to help reduce the risk of having cancer. 

Nutritional science teaches that a diet rich in fiber, vegetables and fruits, including juices that are 100% fruit juice, can make a huge difference in our exposure to the risk of cancer. In other words, foods that are rich in dietary fiber, including fruits and vegetables, would mitigate our becoming easy victims of cancer.

In this regard, our strong choices should be foods that are rich in phytochemicals which are usually found in beans and cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and kale. 

In addition, dark green leafy vegetables like spinach, romaine lettuce, and collard greens, which are packed with fiber, lutein, and carotenoids, all contain cancer-fighting ingredients or chemical substances. 

The focus should be on selecting foods that have rich amounts of vitamins C, E, and A, which all function as antioxidants themselves. The consumption of these super-foods help to protect you from cancer by preventing the development of free radicals in your body systems. 

Tomatoes are an awesome super-food that possesses cancer-fighting and cancer-taming substances. Tomatoes do not only contain lycopene, the antioxidant phytochemical that fight against cancer-promoting free radicals, it also helps prevent cardiovascular diseases. This is because tomatoes are a good source of vitamins A, C, and E, which all wage war against cancer-causing free radicals. 

Nutritionists and dieticians recommend that we add tomatoes to our salad or use it as a topping on our homemade pizza. 

Tomatoes are also a great way of increasing our relish or adding some zest to our favorite sandwich. 

Watermelon, another super-food, is also packed with stupendous amount of antioxidants, which includes about 80% of your daily requirement of vitamin C. In addition, watermelon is also a great source of vitamin A, or beta carotene. And like tomatoes, watermelon also contains lycopene. 

The next super-food is cabbage, a cruciferous vegetable, which helps in the reduction of colon and rectal cancer risks. In addition, cabbage is rich in fiber and has almost 50 percent of our daily requirement for Vitamin C, which makes it an all-time super-food with immense cancer-fighting capability. 

Carrots brings to mind the wonderful story of Ann Cameron, the lady whose diagnosed stage 4 cancer was totally cured by her drinking 1 liter of carrot juice every day for six months. 

Ann Cameron had rejected radiation and chemotherapy and used only carrot juice to obtain total healing from stage 4 cancer.

Stage 4 cancer is a hopeless case, and Ann Cameron was given only a short time to live, because the cancer had metastasized to her lungs, but this super-food that the carrot is, brought a total cure to this woman who remains alive and cancer-free up till the present time. 

Her healing story actually broke the internet regarding natural cure for cancer. This is the story of the carrot, which is a wonderful source of fiber and beta carotene, and contains up to three times our daily requirements for vitamin A.

Furthermore, did you know that one-quarter cup of kidney beans has the same amount of fiber and protein as two ounces of red meat? 

In addition, whole wheat pasta is also a good source of fiber, and broccoli will tip the daily scales for your daily vitamin A and C needs. Mix them all together with your favorite low-fat Italian dressing or the substitute, for a simple dinner that has the capacity to fight cancer. 

Strawberries and blueberries, another super-food rich in vitamin C and fiber, are handy and simple and can be quickly or easily added to your favorite whole grain cereal oatmeal to serve as a cancer-taming diet.

The consumption of these super-foods and others like them, should certainly cause us to lose our fear and dread for cancer. Refusing to explore the natural cancer cure resources which abound in our environment, is a sign that we are not prepared to fight for our lives against the raving effects of cancer in the lives of our populace. 

Ann Cameron is an icon in the fight against cancer, using natural means that are not far from our reach. Her defeat of cancer through the use of carrot juice lends credence to Hippocrates (460-375BC) apt advice: “Let thy food be thine medicine, and thine medicine thy food.”
