GARLIC, ONIONS AND LEEKS.
When tested in the laboratory, garlic and leeks were the top inhibitors of cancer cells. Garlic and leeks contain ally sulfides which promote cell death in colon, breast, lungs and prostate cancer as well as leukemia. To best release the anticancer ingredient, the garlic clove should be crushed and gently and fried with a little oil. Garlic can also be eaten as raw or added to salad.
SHITAKE MUSHROOMS.
Shitake mushrooms and other mushrooms contain polysaccharides and lentinian, which increase the activity of our immune cells. These protective cells kill out any cancer cell that wants to replicate and invade the body's organs. The stronger your immune system, the lesser your chances of getting sick. It is advisable to eat mushrooms to complement the effects of chemotherapy.
CAROTENOID-RICH VEGETABLES AND FRUITS.
Yellow-orange colored fruits and vegetables contain Vit A and lycopene, which may prevent cancer. These healthy foods includes carrots, sweet potatoes, squash and tomatoes.
OILY FISH.
The omega-3s in oily fishes (like sardines, salmon and mackerel) help reduce inflammation and may retard cancer cell growth. Omega 3 also reduce the spread of cancer. Studies have shown that the more fish you consume, the lesser chances of getting some types of cancer.
TOMATOES AND TOMATO SAUCE.
A study shows that eating tomato sauce (rich in lycopene) leads to longer life for men with prostate cancer. In order to release its lycopene, tomatoes should be cooked with a little olive oil. Ideally, we should consume at least 10 tablespoons of tomatoe sauce a week or approximately 150ml a week.
