It is the month of October and people all over the world are campaigning on awareness of cancer. I took out time to watch Dr.Oz show on television and I saw this amazing topic about cancer.
Most times some foods actually increase your risk of cancer, while others support your body and strengthen your immune system. By making smart food choices, you can protect your health, feel better, and boost your ability fight off cancer and other disease
Now here are anti-cancer super food that helps you fight risk of cancer.
Papaya-reduces risk of cervical cancer
Papayas contain the phytochemical lycopene, the same cancer fighter found in tomatoes. But papaya has another cancer fighter, the cartenoid beta-cyrptoxanthin. Carotenoids fight free radicals, helping protect cells and membranes against damage and disease. Studies have shown that eating a papaya or more a week can lower your cervical cancer risk.
Jumbo shrimp or sardins -reduces risk of breast cancer
Shrimp are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which starve tumor cells and help fight cancer. Studies show that eating 8 or 9 shrimp a day can reduce your breast cancer risk. Instead of shrimp, you can substitute any seafood high in omega-3 fatty acids; options include salmon, haddock, flounder and sardines.
Cashews Nuts-reduces risk of colon cancer
These nuts contain proanthocyanidins, a class of flavanols that actually starve tumors and prevent cancer cells from dividing. In some studies, it’s been shown that eating 12 cashews a day can reduce your colon cancer risk.
beets-reduces risk of kidney cancer
The rich red color of beets actually comes from the cancer-fighting antioxidant betalain. Betalains starve tumors and hinder cell division. Researchers have shown that adding a quarter cup of beets, about 3 or 4 beet slices, to your daily diet can reduce your kidney cancer risk.
Although you can't find this any local market in Africa.
