Foods good for cancer

These are some of the good foods:

• Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, collards, mustard greeps, rutabagas, turnip


• Contain nitrogen compounds called indoles which appear to be effective in protecting against certain forms of cancer, particularly, cancers of the stomach and large intestine.


• Also contain other anti-cancer compounds and antioxidant nutrients such as carotenoids and vitamin C. These help to sweep up cancer-promoting free radicals.
• Garlic and onions


• Reduce the incidence of some tumors and inactivate some cancer-causing chemicals.
• Berries (Cranberries, raspberries, strawberries and loganberries)


• Contain ellagic acid which helps prevent certain types of cancer.
• Wheat bran/Oat


• Sources of insoluble fiber which has beneficial effect on precancerous polyps of colon. Insoluble fiber reduces bile acids in the intestines and lessens their toxicity as well as reducing bacterial enzymes, both are possible cancer promoters.


• The phytochemicals in oat may have cancer-fighting properties.
• Brazil nuts


• One of the few good sources of selenium that helps protect against cancer. Just two Brazil nuts a day can meet the need.
• Baked beans


• The tomato sauce covering baked beans is a good source of lycopene which helps prevent prostate cancer.


• Also contain insoluble fibre which is not digested but moves into colon, where bacteria act on it and produce short-chain fatty acids to nourish the colon lining and protect it from carcinogenic (cancer-causing) invaders.


• Insoluble fibre also adds to the physical bulk of the stools, helping them to move along more rapidly and helps prevent the cancer-causing substances from attaching themselves to the colon wall.
• Flax seed


• Contains lignan which helps prevent cancer.
• Graviola


• Contains natural compounds that have cytotoxic activity to prevent abnormal cellular division. Thus it is used for immune support and cleaning abnormal tissue growth.
• Bitter Melon


• Contains insulin, acts as an anti-tumor agent and inhibits HIV-1 infection.

Meanwhile, Madagascar Periwinkle, though not classified as "food", contains vinblastine and vincristine, which are identified as active anti-cancer agents.

Also, do not overeat protein-rich foods, such as nuts and never eat any secondary protein such as those from animal meats as this would increase the burden on the pancreas. Eat nuts such as almonds in the morning and at noon only. Allow time for the pancreas to rest.
