Miracle foods in the fight against cancer According to most cancer researchers and organisations, there are a few ‘wonder foods’ that one should take to protect against, and heal cancer. Their findings are truly amazing. Especially cabbage seems to be a miracle vegetable. What fascinates me most, is the fact that the consumption of cruciferous vegetables in conjunction with chemotherapy has such astonishing results, that researchers are actually looking at producing I3C (substance in these veggies) medication to take with chemo. In the meantime, I would suggest you eat as much of these vegetables as you desire! Cruciferous Vegetables: CABBAGE, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, watercress, bog Choy, kohlrabi, rutabaga, Japanese wasabi, horseradish, collard greens, mustard greens. Eating these veggies protects against: Prostate cancer – 44% Colorectal cancers – 49% Bladder cancer – 29% to 50% with brussel sprouts Lung cancer – 30% in non smokers 69% in smokers (wow!!) Breast cancer – 40% with cauliflower that breaks down estrogens and produces safe estrogen-byproducts. Cabbage inhibits the metastic capacity of breast cancer!!! The indole-3-carbinol (I3C) in cruciferous vegetables, in conjunction with chemotherapy is a cancer killer. Because of the high vitamin C levels in cabbage, it has a cleansing ability, disarming free radicals that cause cancer. The high levels of active phytochemicals called glucosinolates (the bitter taste) changes in the human body into isothiocyanates, which is anti-carcinogenic!! Higher phytonutrient levels in organically grown veggies. Tips: Eat 3 to 5 servings a week (one serving = one cup) Red cabbage has twice as much fibre. Steam rather than cook (to save phytonutrient levels) Try to buy organically grown. Get addicted to these miracle veggies!!! There are many things one can to in the fight against cancer. One definite help for all-round health is surely exercise. The reasons are obvious: Obesity causing cancer numbers is JUST AS HIGH as tobacco causing cancers. The psychological effect - slowing depression and anxiety, is great when you exercise. At least 30min a day, 5x a week of vigorous exercise is necessary to keep healthy. During illness: - Moderate (equal to a brisk walk) exercise will do wonders. - It keeps muscles from wasting away. - You will experience less nausea. - Your fatigue will lessen. Always consult your doctor first!! Here is some interesting reading for you: Holistic nutritionist Mike Adams, author of "The Seven Laws of Nutrition," says simple foods frequently offer the most powerful anti-cancer medicine in the world. "Breast cancer is easily prevented with the help of the right foods: cruciferous vegetables, garlic and onions, ginger, raw almonds and herbs like green tea, liquorice or rosemary," said Adams, creator of HealingFoodReference.com, a free online database that allows users to search for natural foods that can help treat specific health conditions.
