Can.cer develops when cell DNA changes, turning them into can.cer cells that multiply uncontrollably. Unlike healthy cells, these become “immortal” and rapidly spread, depleting the body’s resources. However, some foods have natural compounds that can help prevent and slow its progression.
1. **Garlic & Cruciferous Vegetables**
“Raw, crushed garlic” releases allicin, which “induces programmed can.cer cell death (apoptosis).” Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli sprouts and kale contain sulforaphane, a compound that “encourages can.cer cells to self-destruct.”
2. **Berries & Green Tea**
Blueberries, rich in anthocyanins, “protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.” Matcha green tea provides EGCG, which “prevents can.cer cells from spreading.”
3. **Turmeric & Mushrooms**
Curcumin in turmeric “inhibits the development of blood vessels in tumors.” Mushrooms like reishi and maitake contain phytonutrients “used in can.cer treatments in Asia.”
4. **Omega-3 Fish & Tomatoes**
Wild fish like salmon provide omega-3s that “reduce inflammation,” a key factor in can.cer. Lycopene in tomatoes “slows tumor growth and reduces inflammation.”
5. **Dark Chocolate & Pomegranates**
Dark chocolate (70%+) offers antioxidants that surpass berries, while pomegranates “block tumor growth and prevent can.cer cells from spreading.”
