10 Foods That Destroy Cancer and Help You Live Longer

Diet and Nutrition, Health and Wellbeing, Source

We are blessed with an immune system that comes with many specific proteins, enzymes and coding that can be called upon to destroy cancer cells. We are very fortunate that so far we have found no cancer cell that can stand against the might of the human immune system. The big difference between cancers that grow and those that don’t is what foods we consume to charge up our body and prevent them from growing.

 

Proteins are only effective if our cells aren’t stopped by the toxins found in food, chemicals or are up against seemingly unstoppable growth due to damage or mutations to DNA from these same toxins. So start eating these 10 functional foods to give your immune system what it needs to stop cancer from growing.

1.Turmeric

turmeric

Arguably the most powerful antioxidant known, Curcumin has innumerous health benefits. A recent study published by a research group based out of Munich has said that it prevents the formation of metastases.

Curcumin has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties by stopping tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). This suggeststhat it suppresses inflammation and/or oxidative stress causes its effect on endothelial function by suppressing inflammation and/or oxidative stress by down-regulating TNF-alpha

2.Sea Vegetables

A variety of sea vegetables such as Nori, hijiki, wakame, arame, kombu and kelp have good effects for fighting cancer. Sea vegetables are a great source of minerals such as magnesium, calcium, iron, and bioavailable iodine.

 

Considering chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are both factors in the development of cancer, doctors are very interested in sea vegetables as a cancer fighting food especially in the case of colon cancer although others as well.

 

One notable area of interest revolving around sea vegetables is estrogen related cancer such as breast cancer. The consumption of sea vegetables is noted to affect women’s menstrual cycle over the course of many years that results in the reduction of total estrogen secretion during the follicular phase.

3.Grapes and Resveratrol

Resveratrol, a phenolic compound that is found in red grapes serves as an antioxidant, antimutagen, and helps reduce cell deaths resulting from oxidants. This miraculous compound has been known to prevent the creation of nitric oxide and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-A) by lipopolysaccharide-stimulated Kuppfer cells. It is important to note that Kuppfer cells are macrophages found in the liver and overproduction of nitric oxide and TNF-A in them can cause liver damage.


That is not all that Resveratrol can do. The compounds function to prevent cyclooxygenase-2 (CoX-2) is considered its most important property. CoX-2 is related to cancer and abnormal growths in your intestinal tract.

4.Chlorella and Spirulina

chlorella

Scientists based out of South Korea recently discovered that one effective way to prevent cancer in humans is carotenoids from chlorella. Chlorophyll destroys environmental toxins and pollutants. It assists the blood in moving oxygen to cells and tissues. Cancer cannot grow in fully oxygenated cells. Another role chlorophyll has is to help the chlorella in detoxifying heavy metals and healing wounds.

 

While Spirulina is unable to remove heavy metals like chlorella, it does have major immune-boosting abilities. It has many vitamins including B, E, K, beta-carotene, iron, magnesium, and important fatty acids. These vitamins help in improving mental functioning, vitality, energy, and having a balanced blood sugar. A study conducted in China found that selenium-infused spirulina could prevent the growth of breast cancer cells.

5.Green Tea

green tea

The health benefits that stem from green tea come from the presence of plant flavonoids known as catechins. South Korean researchers are particularly interested in the catechin epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG). This catechin is found to prevent cancer by binding pro-inflammatory chemicals to smooth muscular tissue found in the vascular system.

6.Cruciferous Vegetables

brocolli

Cruciferous Vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, other nutrients and chemicals called glucosinolates. These chemicals can break down into a couple biological active compounds that have been found to have an anti-cancer effect. Examples of cruciferous vegetables are Arugula, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips and collard greens. Each vegetable comes loaded with several carotenoids (beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin); vitamins C, E, and K; folate; and minerals. Biological active compounds found in these vegetables include indoles, nitriles, thiocyanates, and isothiocyanates, which help prevent DNA damage, inactivate carcinogens, causing carcinogens cell death, preventing tumor blood vessel formation and tumor cell migration.

7.Tomatoes

tomatoes

Eating tomatoes and tomato based products has been found to lower the risk for certain types of cancer as well coronary heart disease. Carotenoids and lycopene are the two components found in tomatoes that are credited for its healthful properties.

 

Drinking tomato juice regularly provides small amounts of carotenoids, which have an effect on inflammatory mediators like TNF-alpha. One study found that TNF- alpha was lowered by 30% percent after drinking raw tomato juice for a month

8.Medicinal Mushrooms

mushroom

For 5,000 years medicinal mushrooms have been used for nutritional and medicinal effects. Fifty species of medicinal mushrooms have demonstrated in animals and in vitro studies to have anti-viral and anti-cancer effects. The 6 major components they have are the lentinan component of shiitake, schizophyllan, active hexose correlated compound (AHCC), maitake D-fraction and 2 components of Coriolus versicolor.

 

CoriolusVersicolor (also known as yun zhi in Chinese) is a popular polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Polysaccharide-K (PSK), is a protein-bound polysaccharide isolated from Trametesversicolor that is used in Europe, China and Japan as an immune system boosting agent in cancer treatment.

9.Garlic

garlic

An online study published in Cancer Prevention Researchstates that garlic has been used in China as a medicine since 2000 B.C.E. The author theorizes that compounds like diallyl sulfide are the roots of the herb’s potential preventative power. This idea isn’t so far fetched as numerous studies on garlic have dealt with the relationship between diallyl sulfide and cancer.

 

A researcher from the Republic of Korea states in a paper that dially disulfide (DADS) is a good for preventing cell proliferation in cell lines. Scientists researching this have found that DADS ability to eliminate cells come in a process known as free radical production. The famous tumor suppressor gene, p53, stopped the cell cycle when DADs was present. In fact cancer cells died in less than 24 hours after the DADS treatment activated the p53 gene.

 

Another property that gives garlic its healing ability is Allicin, which is responsible for garlic’s aroma and flavor. Allicin is the world’s most powerful antioxidant. The only catch is Allicin has to decompose before the antioxidant is apparent. However, the reaction between the sulfenic acid and radicals is rapid has it get, only limited by time.

10.Hemp

hemp

Hemp oil is best way for raise melatonin levels thousands of times above the average as well as getting a full body healing, If the pineal gland produces a large amount of melatonin, it can eliminate the condition ailing you. Melatonin has been demonstrated to slow or inhibit several types of cancer.

 

Studies have shown that melatonin has been able to help patients with untreatable cancers like advanced lung cancer and melanoma, going even as far to send some cancer cases into partial or total remission. Peer-reviewed and published research has demonstrated that it offers strong protection against reproductive cancers. This stems from the fact ever cell has a melatonin receptor. When melatonin interacts with cells it causes the cell division to slow down, allowing your body to deal with the disease better.

 

Rick Simpson, a long time hemp advocate has been showing people hemp oil’s ability to cure cancer for over a decade. Commercial and illegal THC hemp oils are loaded with powerful proteins and essential amino acids like omega -3, -6, and -9 that can be used for many nutritional and transdermal purposes.
