Food and Its Impact on Cancer

By Guest blogger: Leroy Templeton.

Changing diets is usually what someone does when they want to lose weight or fit into that old dress or maybe even something as noble lowering chances of heart disease. While none of those are necessarily bad motives, they do tend to neglect some of the bigger more pressing reasons to eat right. As scientist and researchers are discovering more and more information on dieting and food intake, we are beginning to learn one very important truth: what you eat plays a huge role in whether or not you will get cancer.
Among the leading causes of death in the country (alongside heart disease, another issue caused by diet), cancer likelihood can be either reduced or increased depending on one’s diet. Studies show that the best foods for limiting cancer and cancer development are those foods which are most natural. Organic foods and foods that do not have unnatural additives are best. This is because the chemicals used to treat food often have carcinogens which can get in the body and disrupt the cell division process. When this happens it leaves the body open to a number of different cancers including gastric cancer and pleural mesothelioma.  Limiting red meat is also essential because red meat carries with it a high percentage of animal fat. This animal fat has been shown to promote colon cancer. If you can, try replacing red meats with lean white meats, fish and poultry.
          As for the foods that will help fight cancer, you can never go wrong with a diet rich in natural fruits and vegetables. These foods regulate the body so that toxins spend less time in the body and contain a high amount of vitamins that can strengthen the immune system. Antioxidants and flavonoids, found in many bitter foods such as coffee and dark chocolate, also help fight cancer through detoxification.
          Improving diet is one of the more important things you do. Not only will it improve your life’s quality, but you will also increase its length. Diet can either help you by reducing your chance for cancer, or hurt you by increasing it. I hope you make the choice to have it help you.

  11. Thank your for your sharing. Now a days know about their health and nutrition but most of the time they ignore the health rules. We choose the food delicious and crazy rather than healthy. We should eat more fruits and vegetables in our daily meal as they are the great source of vitamins and minerals.
