Many enzymes, coding and proteins found in our immune system can be activated to destroy cancer cells. There’s no cancer cell that can’t be defeated by our immune system. The only difference between cancer cells that grow and cells that don’t grow is what we put in our organism that forbids the growth. That’s why is really important to pay attention to what kind of food we eat.
Sea Vegetables
Here is the list of 7 most functional foods that can suppress cancer cell development:
1. Turmeric
Turmeric is the most powerful antioxidant. A recent study shows that turmeric can inhibit formation of metastasis. It contains anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties and it can suppress inflammation and/or oxidative stress.
2. Chlorella and Spirulina
Chlorella contains carotenoids which can prevent cancer. It neutralizes pollutants and toxins and it helps your blood to carry oxygen to each and every cell in your body. Cancer can’t exist in cells that are completely oxygenated. Spirulina is rich in vitamin B, K, E, magnesium, iron and fatty acids and it can boost your immune system. One study done in China shows that Spirulina prevents breast cancer cell growth.
3. Green Tea
Green tea contains a group of flavonoids called catechins. The primary catechin, epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG), found in green tea prevents certain inflammatory chemicals to bind to cells of muscle tissue in the vascular system.
4. Cruciferous Vegetables
Cruciferous vegetables are rich in minerals, vitamins, and chemicals known as glucosinolates. Those particular chemicals dissolve into biologically active compounds that have anticancer effects. Some of the cruciferous vegetables that contain the most nutritive value include broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, turnips and collard greens.
5. Garlic
Chinese medicine has been using garlic for ages for medicinal purposes. Garlic contains diallyl sulfide that can prevent cell proliferation in cell lines. Garlic also contains allicin which is the most powerful antioxidant known to men.
6. Tomatoes
Adding tomatoes to your daily menu can reduce the risk of getting many types of cancer and heart diseases. Tomatoes contain many healthful compounds, especially carotenoids and lycopene. Carotenoids help the production of anti-inflammatory mediators.
7. Sea Vegetables
Sea vegetables such as arame, kombu, nori, hijiki, wakame and kelp, contain huge amounts of iron, magnesium and calcium. Sea vegetables also contain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds which can help you reduce the risk of getting colon cancer and other types of cancer.
