What You Can Eat to Defeat Cancer

How You Can Eat (and Drink) to Defeat Cancer

Eating to defeat cancer can be accomplished simply by adding a few anti-angiogenic foods to your
meals each day, like those listed above. Like life itself, ones diet is all about making choices. Since we
all eat every day, why not choose foods that can reduce your risk of disease? Listed below are some
food facts, supported by scientific research, to help you get the most cancer fighting benefits from your
diet.
Be picky. Red Delicious and Granny Smith apples have twice as many cancer fighters as Fuji or
Golden Delicious apples. The San Marzano tomato contains more cancer fighters than any other
variety. Wine grapes grown in cooler climates have more cancer fighters than grapes grown in
warmer climates.
Eat Your Sprouts. Broccoli sprouts can contain more cancer-fighting properties than regular
broccoli.
Dunk Your Teabag. Dunking a tea bag up and down releases more cancer-fighting molecules
than letting the bag just sit in the cup.
Cook Your Vegetables. Raw tomatoes are good, but cooking them in olive oil is better.
Chew Your Greens. Chewing leafy greens helps to release enzymes that activate cancer-
fighting molecules embedded deep in the leaves.
Go Soy. Fermented soy, like the kind used in miso soup, contains four times more cancer
fighters than regular soybeans.
Choose one cancer fighting food for each meal. At 3 meals each day, that adds up to more
than a thousand of cancer fighting food choices each year.

Disturbing new research suggests that microscopic cancer, small cancer cells that can only been seen
under a microscope, is widely prevalent. A recent study of women in their 40s indicated that 40% of
them had microscopic breast cancer. Even more shocking, almost 100% of people in their 70s will have
microscopic cancer in their thyroid glands.

A microscopic tumor can grow up to 16,000 times its original size in as little as 2 weeks. But new
groundbreaking research from The Angiogenesis Foundation proposes that you can stop cancer before
it begins to grow. This new preventive approach is called anti-angiogenesis. To learn more about anti-
angiogenesis and the groundbreaking research at The Angiogenesis Foundation, click here. Anti-
angiogenesis encourages that, by changing the way you eat, you can change your internal
environment, thereby depriving cancer cells the opportunity to grow and multiply.

Certain foods, eaten in the correct portions and frequency, can provide cancer-starving benefits. Below
are 5 foods to eat that can prevent cancer growth:
1. Bok Choy This type of Chinese cabbage contains brassinin; a powerful cancer-fighter, also
found in broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Bok Choy should be eaten 3 times a week,
in 1/2 cup servings to obtain its full benefits.
2. Cooked Tomatoes have more cancer-fighting properties than raw tomatoes. Both contain the
molecule lycopene, but heating the tomato changes its chemical structure and makes the
benefits more readily available to your body. You should eat 2-3 (1/2 cup) servings of cooked
tomatoes a week.
 3. Flounder This fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low in mercury. Three 6-ounce servings a
week is ideal.
4. Strawberries The antioxidants in this berry help fight cancers. You should eat 1 cup a day,
including the juice.
5. Artichokes contain 3 different cancer-fighting molecules. Enjoy cup of hearts per day.

The Anti-Cancer Diet

By making smart decisions every time you visit the grocery story, you can greatly reduce your risk of
hormone dependant cancers like breast, ovary, uterus and prostate. This simple daily diet contains foods
rich in antioxidants, fiber and isoflavones.

1) Breakfast: Berries, Yogurt and Green Tea

Blueberries are believed to be one of the most powerful antioxidants; they also contain ellagic
acid, which prevents carcinogens from latching onto your DNA.
Yogurt contains the healthy bacteria lactobacilli, which stops enzymes that turn healthy cells
into cancer.
Green tea is another powerful antioxidant that reduces cancer cells; you should be drinking at
least once a day.
2) Lunch:Tempeh, Rainbow Chard, Tomatoes and Flaxseed
Tempeh is packed with isoflavones, a plant-based estrogen that mimics estrogen found in
animals and humans. Isoflavones help reduce estrogen-induced cancers by blocking natural
estrogen. A diet rich in isoflavones could be more impactful for women who have less natural
estrogen (i.e., post-menopausal.) It's important to understand that isoflavones can help reduce
estrogen-induced cancers by blocking our natural estrogen.
The same chemicals that give rainbow chard its color are also powerful immune boosters.
Tomatoes are one of the world's most concentrated sources of lycopene, which prevents cancer
cells from growing and dividing. They are best absorbed if cooked with a bit of olive oil.
Flaxseeds contain lignans that block natural estrogen, which can feed cancers like breast and
ovarian.

3) Dinner: Quinoa with Roasted Vegetables and Curried Beans

From Peru in the Andes, quinoa is a whole grain rich in fiber and antioxidants. Fiber stimulates
the good bacteria in your colon to produce cancer-fighting compounds; it also lowers your risk
for cancer by sweeping carcinogens through your colon.
Garlic and onions, from a family of vegetables called allium, are powerful cancer-fighters.
Studies have shown them to stop cancer growth in the stomach, colon, brain, lung, prostate and
breasts. Additionally, one garlic component, named diallyl disulfide, was shown to kill
Leukemia cells in the lab.
Other cancer-fighting vegetables in this dish that are packed with antioxidants are carrots, sweet
potatoes and squash. Broccoli detoxes the liver, beans are rich in fiber and the tumeric in curry has
been found to suppress tumors.
5 Superfoods To Eat Now
1. Sweet Potato
The women of Okinawa, Japan (who also happen to be the world's longest living ladies) enjoy a purple
sweet potato they call Imo every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Rich in beta-carotene and
boasting 150% more antioxidants than blueberries, this easy-to-make treat can be simply incorporated
into an American diet. And, if you can't find Imo specifically, our orange sweet potatoes pack a
similarly healthful wallop.

2. Turmeric Tea
You usually see the yellow spice turmeric in Indian curries, giving them their characteristic color. But
those long-lived ladies of Okinawa slurp this spice in tea daily (and they have one-fifth the rate of
breast cancer than their American counterparts). Studies have shown that turmeric is a powerful anti-
inflammatory and antioxidant that can help fight cancer.

3. Mangosteen
This sweet, tropical fruit originally from Indonesia has made its way onto supermarket shelves in the
United States. Hidden inside a thick purple rind that you cut open, is a white, creamy flesh full of
vitamins A and C as well as cancer-fighting antioxidants. If you can't find the fruit, the juice of the
mangosteen, which is more widely available, is the next best thing. This is also available in tea form.

4. Mustard Greens
In Icaria, Greece, 1 in 3 people lives to the age of 90, making the Greek island one of the areas
designated as a "blue zone," where people enjoy superior longevity. There are also no cases Alzheimer's
disease reported there despite many people living to a ripe old age. One of the nourishing foods they
enjoy are mustard greens. High in vitamin K (most Americans are deficient in this nutrient), the spicy
greens are good for your blood and bone strength. Try them as the Icarians do: boil and then toss with a
little virgin olive oil and lemon.

5. Barramundi Fish
If the Barramundi fish were a human, he would be a tree-hugging, salad-loving vegetarian. The
Barramundi, hailing from the coast of Australia, eschews his fellow fish, dining on plankton instead.
That means he doesn't load up on mercury-packed smaller fish and has extremely low levels of the
toxin, which is especially important for pregnant women. Free of mercury, but full of heart- and brain-
healthy omega-3s, the Barramundi, which is becoming more popular in the US, is a shoe-in for one of
the top 5 superfoods. Bonus: the white meat is light, flaky and delicious.

Greek Greens
Greek Greens are eaten raw, boiled, cooked in casseroles, and as herbs.
Arugula (Rocket) Dock Poppy
Borage Eryngo Purslane
Bulbs Fennel Silene (Campion, Catchfly)
Burr Chervil Golden Thistle Sow-thistle
Cabbages (white, red, kale, Leeks Spinach
etc.) Mache (Lambs Lettuce, Spiny Chicory
Catnip (Catmint, Nepeta) Wild Lettuce) White Beet Leaves
Chard Mallow Wild Parsley
Chicory Nettles Wild Parsnip
Collards Palmer Amaranth (Albersia, as well as various mustard
Dandelion Greens Vlita) greens.
