As we all know, cancer remains one of the biggest health problems. We are facing a growing epidemic. But don't worry; the good news is that there are many natural ways to prevent cancer, especially with diet and lifestyle. Cancer is NOT one disease. There are more than 100 types of cancer, and no two types have exactly the same cause. Some of these causes are genetic predisposition and exposure to cancer-causing agents in the environment, and some may start from within — viruses and bacteria.

 

In this post, we will discuss the top 8 cancer-fighting foods or you can say natural cancer treatments that help in preventing cancer naturally.

 

  1. Berries: Berries have been a part of human diets for thousands of years, but their cancer-fighting properties only became widely known in the late 1990s. Since then, they've become one of the most popular superfoods, and with good reason: berries contain high amounts of antioxidants that help fight carcinogens, stall cell mutations, and reduce inflammation.

 

  1. Tomatoes: It's true: tomatoes aren't just delicious food; they're also a delicious medicine. In studies, the compounds found in tomatoes have been shown to kill cancer cells and prevent tumour growth. Research has also suggested that they may be able to stop the growth of the blood vessels that feed tumours.

 

  1. Walnuts: Walnuts have been proven to help fight cancer in several ways. The first way is by acting as an anti-inflammatory. Inflammation is a root cause of cancer, and preventing the inflammation that's associated with cancer will prevent the growth of cancer cells. Secondly, walnuts contain antioxidants called phytochemicals, which help protect us from cancer. Finally, walnuts also contain ellagic acid and other types of polyphenols, which are shown to inhibit the growth of various cancers.
  2. Carrots: Carrots have long been known to be an excellent source of vitamin A, which plays a role in preventing cancer. This form of Vitamin A then attacks tumour cells specifically by inhibiting their growth while leaving healthy cells alone.

 

  1. Garlic: Garlic has been used for many centuries due to its medicinal properties. It is known to help cure sore throats and colds, as well as prevent illnesses such as the flu. But that's not all that garlic can do. Studies have shown that garlic helps fight cancer, particularly colon cancer. Garlic contains a chemical called allicin, which helps prevent tumour growth and the spread of cancer cells.

 

  1. Fatty fish: Fatty fish is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to help fight cancer. Cancer cells need fat to grow and survive, so as omega-3s compete for these fatty acids, cancer cells die off, and normal cells have more chance of surviving. Apart from this, Omega-3s also reduce inflammation in the body, which can prevent cancer growth by reducing the risks of exposure to cancer-causing agents in the body.

 

  1. Olive oil: Olive oil has been used for thousands of years as a food and medicine, and it's more effective than ever in preventing and fighting cancer. Olive oil fights cancer on multiple fronts. It contains antioxidants that help prevent the spread of cancer cells, it has anti-inflammatory properties that help prevent the growth of new cancer cells, and it lowers cholesterol which reduces the risk of heart disease, which is a leading cause of death in people with cancer.

 

  1. Turmeric: Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a bright yellow spice that gives curry powder its vibrant colour. It's been used as a medicine for thousands of years, and its active ingredient, curcumin, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and cancer-fighting effects.

 

So, that's set. These are the natural cancer treatment you should try in order to prevent cancer naturally.
