Cancer-DietAdjustmentscanReduce Risks
The whole point of Marilyn and I creating this entire website is to help you to avoid disease and (in our opinion) needless aging.
We believe the recipe for a longer and healthier life is in the super foods you eat.
So, is it really possible that a strawberry can reduce your risk of cancer by perhaps as much as 30%?
Well, probably not one strawberry, but if you load your diet with this delectable and naturally fresh super foods you certainly can assist in reducing your risk.
Simply, because natural fruits and vegetables contain compounds which fight cell damage that occurs more and more as we age.
It's agreed that cancer occurs when damaged cells in our body run amuck and attack our body's tissues.
There are compounds in fruits and vegetables that naturally assist in repairing cell damage that can certainly lead to developing this terrible disease.
We've listed below powerful cancer fighters, including the super foods that contain these dynamos.
Cancer-Diet;
#1) Caratenoids, like beta carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin are antioxidants that protect our cells from free radical damage.
You'll find caratenoids in bright colored orange and yellow vegetables such as orange and yellow bell peppers, of course carrots, as well as sweet potatoes (yams) and squash.
Cancer-Diet;
#2) Fibre, which is found in natural fruits, vegetables and whole grains, aids in digestion and can help in reducing the risk of colon cancer.
Fruits high in fibre would include pears, raspberries and strawberries.
Vegetables, for the most part are high in fibre, especially beans, legumes like peas and of course our Babe Ruth of veggies...broccoli.
Cancer-Diet;
#3) It is agreed that Flavanoids can neutalize cancerous compounds and would be found in apples (an apple a day)cranberries and teas like green and black non herbal teas.
Cancer-Diet;
#4) Lycopene is an antioxidant that can protect against prostate, stomach and lung cancers.
This antioxidant is found in significant quantities in tomatoes and tomatoe based foods, as well as pink grapefruit and watermelon.
Cancer-Diet;
#5) There are compounds called "Indoles" which can reduce your chances of bladder or gastrointestinal type cancers and these are found in veggies like cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and again, broccoli.
Cancer-Diet;
#6) We can't speak enough about good ole Vitamin "C" which is of course an antioxidant that builds up our immune systems that in turn helps our bodies defend against many diseases.
Strawberries, bell peppers and naturally oranges contain large amounts of this vitamin.
Cancer-Diet;
#7) And last but certainly not least, is Vitamin "E".
This is a potent antioxidant that repairs cell damage, which also aids in inhibiting the formation of tumors.
Vitamin "E" is in nuts, avacados and sweet potatoes.
As most regular-foods contain minor amounts of this vitamin, a super natural supplement might considered.
Scientific and medical studies regarding the powers of super foods in the battle against this and other diseases is continual.

**** UPDATE
Sun Kinda Vitamin
Is vitamin D powerful enough to go head-to-head with cancer?
Yes, according to a growing body of evidence.
High levels of vitamin D have been found to protect against several kinds of cancer, particularly those of the digestive system;
mouth, throat, stomach, and colon.
While many of us think we get plenty of vitamin D from milk or a multivitamin, it turns out that the best source is the sun.
It's rays trigger your body to produce the nutrient, and a 10-20 minute stroll each day yields an abundant dose.
Benefit: Getting 400 IU of vitamin D and 1,200 milligrams of calcium per day can make your physical age as much as 1.3 years younger.
