Healthy foods for cancer

It is very important for cancer to adhere to the principles of a balanced balanced diet, regardless of the stage of the disease. Such a diet will help restore healthy body cells and organ tissues, maintain body weight, improve well-being, protect against inflammatory and infectious processes, maintain a normal metabolic rate, and prevent exhaustion.

Among useful products, the following are distinguished:

1. 1 Certain types of green plants (chlorella, green peas, blue-blue algae, cabbage, dandelion leaves, green mustard, nettle), which contain large amounts of chlorophyll and increase the body’s resistance to tumors and microbes; stimulate phagocytosis.
2. 2 Red-orange, yellow and orange vegetables and fruits that are rich in carotenoids (lutein, beta-carotene, lycopene) and have anti-cancer properties. These include carrots, apricots, zucchini, citrus fruits, and tomatoes. Carotenoids are able to destroy free radicals in lipids, increase the immune response, and protect cells from UV radiation.
3. 3 Blue, purple or red vegetables and fruits contain anthocyanids, which are antioxidants, neutralize the action of free radicals, relieve inflammation, activate the body’s resources to resist carcinogens, viruses, and detoxify pollutants and chemicals. These include: beets, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, red and purple grapes, blue cabbage.
4. 4 Broccoli, pineapple and garlic have detoxifying and anticancer properties as they contain spicy gray components and reduce the risk of N-nitroso-induced cancer.
5. 5 Cruciferous vegetables (Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, broccoli, green mustard, turnip, radish) contain indole, which activates the detoxifying properties of the liver, binds chemical carcinogens in the body.
6. 6 Green tea has protective properties.
7. 7 Pomegranates, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries contain ellagic acid, which prevents carcinogenic oxidation in cell membranes.
