Smoking and genetic factors are some of the main causes of cancer; however, doctors have found that certain foods can help fight cancer in the body. We will tell you more about them in this article.
According to the World Health Organization, an unhealthy diet contributes to the development of approximately 30% of cases of cancer. That being said, the following foods can help fight cancer.
1. Tomatoes
Tomatoes have many health benefits as they contain lycopene. This substance plays an important role in the fight against cardiovascular disease, and also contains antioxidants that help weaken cancer cells.
According to a study conducted by Harvard University since 1999, the inclusion of tomato meals in the daily diet reduces the risk of prostate cancer by about 30%.
2. Foods rich in fiber
You don’t need to avoid sugar to prevent breast cancer. Eating fiber-rich foods is recommended instead. According to a recent American study, eating 10 grams of oats or other fiber-rich foods a day is enough to reduce the likelihood of developing breast and laryngeal cancer by 7%.
3. Strawberries
Strawberry fruit inhibits tumor growth due to its high content of antioxidants. Several scientific studies have shown that 15 strawberries a day are beneficial in the fight against breast and esophageal cancer.
4. Green vegetables
According to doctors, lettuce, kale, broccoli, and other similar foods eliminate the carcinogens found in red meat.
5. Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits help slow the growth of cancer cells. It is recommended to drink citrus juice every day, provided that it is a natural, and not a finished product.
6. Walnuts
Walnuts are especially rich in vitamin E, or so-called gamma-tocopherol. It promotes the production of an enzyme that plays an important role in suppressing cancer cells.
7. Fish
Fish is considered a very healthy food, as it contains omega-3 and vitamin D, and salmon and herring are considered a storehouse of vitamins.
American scientists conducted a study with the participation of about 48 thousand men over 12 years old. They ate fish, salmon in particular, more than 3 times a week. According to the results, this group is 40% less likely to develop prostate cancer than others. For women, eating fish cuts the risk of breast cancer by almost half.
