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!
Smoothies are the solution to quick and nutritious meals when time is short. A parsley smoothie, in particular, is the elixir for health.
Parsley is a powerful anti-cancer herb that offers multiple health benefits and is usually available in grocery stores year-round. It’s also very hardy and is a great starter herb for your windowsill garden.
It boosts the immune system, improves bone health, purifies the blood, and is a strong anti-inflammatory. Parsley is also a great detoxifier for the body and promotes the elimination of carcinogens.
Flaxseed increases apoptosis (programmed cell death of damaged cells), prevents new blood vessels from growing into tumors, decreases breast cancer proliferation, and reduces tumor growth. Soaking the flaxseeds (for anywhere from 10 minutes up to overnight) reduces hard-to-digest compounds and releases other beneficial nutrients. If you forget to soak your flaxseeds, follow Dr. Mercola’s tip and grind them first in your blender and then add in the rest of your smoothie ingredients and blend.
You’ve likely heard of chocolate dipped strawberries, but figs are a delectable alternative that make an attractive holiday dessert. While high in fructose, figs are also high in fiber and loaded with essential vitamins and minerals including vitamins K and B6, which plays a significant role in cancer prevention and inhibiting tumor progression.
The antioxidants in high quality dark chocolate help fight free radicals, which are known to contribute to cancer and other degenerative diseases. It’s also loaded with flavonoids, which have been found to help prevent cancer, improve heart health, and lower blood pressure and stroke risk. Dark chocolate also raises levels of feel-good serotonin, a natural stress-reliever.
While there are many varieties of figs, black mission figs are quite easy to find in many markets. You can dip the figs in melted dark chocolate or use chocolate with ground almonds and sea salt. Alternatively, just use plain dark chocolate and roll the dipped figs in finely chopped pistachios or hazelnuts for a delectable crunch.
Think every keto dish has to contain animal products? Think again! This high protein, high fiber, high fat, low carb pudding is vegan and can be enjoyed as part of a ketogenic diet (depending on the macros that you’re following and if you’re counting “total carbs” or “net carbs.”)
While chia seeds, hemp seeds, and unsweetened pure pumpkin puree do contain some carbohydrates, their fiber content is so high that the overall result is very low net carbs – only around 10g net carbs for the entire recipe (excluding sweetener).
This is an excellent recipe too for anyone following a non-ketogenic plant-based eating plan. If desired, you can lower the fat content somewhat by replacing the coconut milk with almond milk or another nut milk.
As hemp seed is a complete protein, this simple dish makes a complete meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, snack, or as a dessert.
