Optimal nutrition is very important because when we are eating well, it helps us feel better overall, strengthens us, and builds muscles, all of which supports us in tolerating the side effects of treatments for cancer. Fresh fruits and vegetables offer a boost to our immune system to hasten recovery and also decrease chances of infections. Colour your life with the goodness of nature.
The Fresh Way to Fight Cancer |
While temperate countries often have to source for fresh fruits
and vegetables, natural harvests in all colours, sizes and shapes are readily
available to us around the clock. So any time is right to get into the habit of
adding more colour into our daily diets.
Deep, dark shades indicate that the fruits and vegetables are rich
with anti-inflammatory phytonutrients including vitamins, minerals and
antioxidants, which have been shown to help fight chronic illnesses, prevent
cancer and strengthen the immune system. You can check out SuperGreensExpert.com, for your top choices of daily vegetable intake with the revolutionary super green powders.
Bright and cheerful orange-coloured produce like citrus fruits,
pumpkins or sweet potatoes have a great supply of phytochemicals especially
carotenoid antioxidants including alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lycopene,
lutein and cryptoxanthin.
The berry family is an especially potent source of antioxidants
including blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries. The rich
greens of leafy spinach, kale and lettuces are also chockfull of fibre and
vitamins. Scarlet tomatoes contain stores of lycopene while cantaloupe melons
have vitamins A and C, minerals and hydrating water.
Studies have shown that higher intake of cancer-fighting foods
like fruits and vegetables, fish, and fibre are associated with a decreased
risk of colorectal, lung and breast cancers. Among the most highly regarded
cancer-fighting foods abundant in markets and supermarkets in our
neighbourhoods include:
Leafy green vegetables – rich supplies of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes,
yet very low in calories, fats, and sodium. Think spinach, kale, romaine, and
watercress. Isothiocyanates (ITCs) found in leafy greens, which are made from
glucosinolates, have been reported to help detox your body at the cellular
level.
Cruciferous vegetables – examples like broccoli and cauliflower are powerful cancer
fighters with rich stores of Vitamin C and glutathione, a potent antioxidant.
Berries – renowned antixodant rich with vitamin C, vitamin A and gallic
acid, a powerful antifungal/antiviral agent that increases immunity. Berries
are rich in proanthocyanidin antioxidants, capable of lowering free radical
damage.
Herbs and spices – even the humblest natural ingredients hold the key to health
such as turmeric that contains curcumin, proven to decrease tumour size and
fight breast and colon cancer. A single teaspoon of turmeric powder consumed
daily helps or in the form of supplements.
