The absolute best way to prevent, treat, and beat cancer is through nutrition. Unfortunately, finding the right information can be hard. The agricultural industry is doing its best to confuse us with tricky labels and misleading science.
Did you know that over 50% of cancer deaths are preventable? With the right diet, you can drastically reduce your cancer risk – and even help your body heal from most diseases. The medical mafia wants you to believe that drugs are the only way to fight disease and illness. The truth is that there’s very little money to be made in natural treatments. The standard American diet (SAD) is loaded with sugar, toxins, and processed, fake foods.
Each month, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite anti-cancer recipes. These dishes aren’t just good; They’re good FOR you!
Looking for a light, healthy, cancer-fighting recipe? Search no further. Although Romaine lettuce is often overlooked in favor of kale, spinach, and other superfood greens, it has one of the highest nutritional values in the lettuce category. It is loaded with minerals such as calcium, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium.
We’ve also added cucumbers, celery, and radishes for their powerful abilities to hydrate and detoxify the body. Basil improves the lineup, with anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor, antioxidant, and anti-anxiety properties. It can even boost immune function and promote liver detoxification!
However, one of the most impressive ingredients found in this recipe is fennel, which stimulates the production of hemoglobin and is helpful in treating anemia and constipation. Its anticancer benefits are quite impressive, inhibiting the growth of tumors and protecting against the harmful effects of radiation therapy. Fennel also helps regulate hormonal action in the body.
Finally, we add just enough lemon zest for that fresh flavor, and the cancer-fighting power of limonene.
Who can resist a ripe summer tomato? While they are delectable on their own, the synergy of eating them with other anticancer powerhouses can boost the nutritional value and the enjoyment!
Tomatoes contain all four major carotenoids (alpha and beta carotene, lutein, and lycopene). Together these carotenoids provide many health benefits, including dramatically reducing one’s risk of many cancers. Tomatoes are also high in antioxidants. When paired with healthy fats such as olive oil, the health benefits of tomatoes increase dramatically, particularly the anticancer benefits of the lycopene in tomatoes.
Vidalia onions are high in polyphenols, especially flavonoids. Flavonoids such as quercetin have strong anticancer benefits. When paired with onions, the sulfur-compounds increase the bioavailability of the lycopene in tomatoes.
Chives are anti-cancer powerhouses. Studies show that compounds in chives reduce the damage caused by free radicals in the body. Such molecules are involved in the onset of various cancers. Studies have shown that regular consumption of chives (a member of the allium family) reduces risk of stomach, breast, prostate and many other cancers.
This tangy, creamy chicken slaw is the perfect dish to add to your summer menu! Buttermilk is lower in fat than regular milk because the fat has been removed to make butter. Raw buttermilk is a rich source of probiotics. The active cultures can help build healthy bacteria in the stomach and enhance digestion, combatting digestive issues.
We’ve included a non-dairy option for an easy-to-make, vegan alternative.
Tomatoes are nutrient-dense offering numerous health benefits. Research shows they reduce cancer risk, help maintain healthy blood pressure, and reduce blood glucose in people with diabetes. Carotenoids in tomatoes such as lutein, beta-carotene, and lycopene protect eye health. Interestingly, cherry tomatoes have more beta-carotene than their larger counterparts.
Making this dish even more powerful is parsley, a chelating herb recognized for its ability to draw out toxic heavy metals and other carcinogens and expel them from the body. It is also an incredible anti-cancer food, rich in flavonoids like myricetin and apigenin that research shows help inhibit cancer cells and tumors and reduce inflammation. Considerable research shows that the flavonoid apigenin, found in celery, artichokes, and parsley may well be a key agent for killing breast, pancreatic, and numerous other cancer cell lines.
Keep this coming. Just got the dreaded diagnosis. Been following yall for years never thinking I would be here. 57.
