Eat Foods That Help Prevent Cancer




There are foods that help to prevent cancer from growing in the body. People can eat these foods to help them to avoid getting cancer. The best foods to eat to help prevent cancer are the unprocessed plant foods that contain many phytochemicals, instead of animal foods.
Green Tea or White Tea

Green and white tea are not fermented. Black tea is more fermented and this destroys some of the nutrients in it. Green tea comes from the leaves and white tea comes from the tea buds. Studies show that the more green tea that someone drinks, the less chance that they have of getting cancer.
Many studies show that tea is great at preventing cancer. The Chinese have been drinking tea for 5,000 years. People should drink tea instead of water. Although tea is 99% water. In Chinese restaurants you get tea, instead of water, at no cost.
Drinking green tea can also help you to lose weight. Excess weight increases your chances of getting cancer. Green or white tea also helps to cleanse the body of toxins. Tea also helps with cognitive ability and studies also show that it prevents Alzheimer's disease.
The book Anticancer: A New Way of Life (2008) by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD says:
Green tea also acts as a detoxifier for the body. It activates mechanisms in the liver that can then eliminate cancerous toxins from the body more rapidly. In mice, it has been shown to block the effects of chemical carcinogens responsible for breast, lung, esophageal, stomach, and colon cancer
Berries
Berries have many phytochemicals in them that help to prevent cancer.

Cabbage Family Vegetables
 Cabbage family vegetables are the most popular foods for preventing cancer. They include cabbage, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, radish and others. They have phytochemicals in them that help protect the body from getting cancer.
Anti-inflammatory Foods

Anti-inflammatory foods prevent most diseases. This especially includes preventing arthritis, heart attacks and cancer. One website lists their top 10 anti-inflammatory foods.
This list of the top 10 anti-inflammatory foods include broccoli, blueberries, green tea, turmeric (a spice), shiitake mushrooms, papaya fruit, sweet potato and extra virgin olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is also good for losing weight and helping the arteries to work better. Some experts say that turmeric is the most anti-inflammatory food.

Grapes

Eating grapes has a cleansing effect on the body. This helps the body to get rid of toxins. It is best to buy organic grapes since conventional grapes have many pesticides on them
