Fish – the Omega 3

Already, there are much studies that suggest omega-3 fatty acid from fish ( such as salmon, sardines ) could help in lowering some cancer risks. In some studies, men who ate moderate to large amount of fish are reported to having lower risk level of prostate cancer, compare to men who didn’t eat fish !

Soybeans

In both animal and human cell studies, it shows that soybeans contain several chemicals that proven to be anti-cancer substance. For instance, studies in large population show that soy may actual help in preventing several common cancers like colon cancer , breast cancer , prostate cancer . Another chemical, Genistein , by inhibiting the growth of cancerous risk blood vessel and eliminating cancer cells, Genistein might protect against cancer.

So, next time, try to include more soy food in your dietary, like cheese, tofu, miso, and of course soy milk !

Go Green with Fruits and Vegetables

Well, one of the easiest route to lower you risk of getting cancer ( and all other diseases ), is to consume more serving of fruits and vegetables on daily basis. Well, don’t get the wrong idea and start chewing off with just bowl full of salads without any other food. Mostly, a mid-size bowl salad daily should be sufficient.

Another point to take note is that, the more variety of the fruits and vegetables, the wider the range of cancer fighting compounds. Such compound is called as ‘flavonoid‘ . So, eat up those red grapes, leeks, red apples, cabbages ( red ), yellow onions too !

Love the Apples !

As the norm saying -> An apple a day keeps doctor away. While it may not be 100% practical, researches do found that one of the best sources of cancer-fighting compound, phenolics , is within apple skin. Apple skin could possibly be the main contributing factor as to why apple is such an healthy fruit .

Reduce the Sugar

It is known that high sugar diet is almost likely to be of high in fat content, and low in fiber and other nutrients. Such high sugar diet could actually increase your risk of getting cancer. So – cut it down !

Reduce Red Meat intake

Red meat is already well-known to be one main contributing factor of increase cancer risk. It is found that higher intake of red meat might be the culprit behind higher risk level for common type of breast cancer.

Reduce Coffee Intake – Go for Tea

Coffee, a known phytoestrogen, already widely known to be causing fibrocystic breast disease worse. Although it is not thought to be the caffeine, but coffee itself actually mimics estrogen much. Thus, decaffinated coffee still may be estrogenic.

Tea, on the other hand, contains antioxidants called ‘catechins‘ , which in laboratory studies show to be having the ability of preventing cancer. Both green and black tea are rich in antioxidants. Nevertheless, green tea actually contain higher level of antioxidants, probably due to less being processed.
