There is no food that ‘definitely’ prevents cancer. There are many foods that are ‘helpful’ in preventing cancer. If you eat it consistently, you can slow down the growth of cancer cells. Fresh vegetables and fruits are representative examples. This is because it is rich in antioxidant nutrients, phytochemicals, and dietary fiber that are effective in preventing cancer.
I haven’t smoked in my entire life… Why do 10,000 women develop lung cancer every year?
According to national cancer registration statistics, lung cancer is a fatal cancer, with 28,949 new patients appearing in 2020 alone, ranking 1st to 2nd in both the number of patients and the death rate. Although there are more male patients who smoke a lot, the number of female patients is also close to 10,000 (9,292). More than 90% of female patients are non-smokers. Even if you don’t smoke, you can get lung cancer from other factors such as radon, secondhand smoke, cooking methods, and air pollution. Even if it is cold after cooking at home, you should frequently open the window and ventilate.
Vitamin E helps improve lung function… nuts, sweet potatoes
There are foods that help prevent cancer if eaten consistently over a long period of time. Foods rich in vitamin E are mentioned in the prevention of lung cancer. Nuts (almonds, walnuts, peanuts, etc.), cooking oils (corn oil, soybean oil, sunflower seed oil, etc.), sweet potatoes, etc. contribute to the prevention of lung cancer and breast cancer. These are the foods posted on the National Cancer Information Center.
Vitamin E has a powerful antioxidant effect that reduces oxidation (damage-aging) in the body. It protects normal cells from oxidative stress, preventing damage, and delays the aging process to prevent cancer cells from forming. Vitamin E strengthens the immune system, protecting the body from infections and diseases. Helps improve the function of immune cells.
Sweet potatoes, carrots, old pumpkin, sweet pumpkin, mango, spinach… What is beta-carotene?
Beta-carotene also improves lung function and has anti-cancer effects. These include green-yellow sweet potatoes, carrots, old pumpkins, sweet pumpkins, mangoes, spinach, and fruits (apricots, citrus fruits, sweet persimmons, etc.). Beta-carotene also has the function of slowing down aging. However, research has shown that if smokers consume a lot of beta-carotene, it actually has adverse effects. To prevent lung cancer, you must first quit smoking.
Sweet potato + old pumpkin… Anticancer effect that slows cancer cell proliferation
Beta-carotene is a predecessor to vitamin A. It is also effective in destroying cancer cells and removing carcinogens. According to the Medical Science Research Institute of the University of Tokyo, Japan, the carcinogenesis inhibition rate of sweet potatoes reached 98.7%, ranking first among 82 types of vegetables with anticancer effects. Sweet potatoes were selected as one of the top 10 healthy foods by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), an American food and nutrition advocacy group.
According to the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, the deep yellow color of old pumpkins is produced by carotenoid pigments. When absorbed into the body, it is converted to vitamin A and plays a role in preventing normal cells from turning into cancer cells. It has anti-cancer effects, such as slowing down the proliferation of cancer cells. Beta-carotene reduces waste in the body and helps excrete cholesterol from the blood. It is helpful in reducing swelling after surgery, postpartum swelling, or diabetes.
