Do you eat these cancer fighting foods?
Hi John
I think it’s a fair statement to say that most people don’t want
cancer
to become a part of their lives.
Agreed?
But unfortunately, boatloads of people have habits that practically
roll
out the red carpet for cancer to come calling!
Nowhere is this more prevalent than in our
diets.
Studies have shown repeatedly that
sugar feeds cancer and that a
large intake of highly refined
salt (especially in processed or fast
foods) increases your cancer risk, yet I still see people’s carts
loaded
with cookies, crackers, chips, boxed dinners, white bread and soda at the
grocery store, and the line of cars outside of the drive-thru window at
McDonald’s is always a mile long.
But the good news here is just as eating the
wrong foods can increase
your cancer risk, eating the
right foods can help protect you against
it!
Here is a list of foods that really
pack a punch in terms of
protecting against or ameliorating cancer and they also happen to be
delicious!
Exceptional cancer-fighting
foods
- Alfalfa sprouts—these help
detox the body, assist in assimilation of nutrients and contain phytoestrogens
that block certain cancers. Use in salads or on sandwiches.
- Almonds—contain
phytosterols that help fight cancer and lower cholesterol. Eat alone
or use as a topping for salads or cooked vegetables.
- Apples—these literally “keep the doctor away” by
promoting healthy gut flora and reducing your risk of heart disease and
certain cancers. Best eaten raw.
- Asparagus—this is the
vegetable which is highest in glutathione, an anti-carcinogen.
Lightly steam or roast with olive oil.
- Beans and legumes—contain a
compound (diosgenin) that inhibits cancer cells from multiplying and
isoflavones that help prevent against heart disease and cancer.
There are endless possibilities here for delicious dishes including soups,
stews and chilis.
- Berries—their
ellagic acid is a potent anti-oxidant, it blocks activation of carcinogens
and helps keep DNA from mutating (which is how cancer “starts”). Eat
alone for breakfast or as a first course of a meal.
- Cabbage family—these
superstars inhibit cancer formation, detoxify carcinogens and protect
against digestive and respiratory system cancers. These include all
varieties of cabbage plus broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, mustard
greens, kale, arugula and even horseradish.
- Carrots—these help
support elimination of wastes and are an anti-carcinogen. Use as
part of a crudité platter, add to salads or roast with a touch of olive
oil.
- Citrus fruits—these
contain a whopping 58 known anticancer agents! They’re also
high in bioflavonoids which help the liver break down carcinogenic
substances. Just beware of grapefruits, as too much of them
or their juice can inhibit your liver’s ability to detox.
- Fennel—this too is a natural anti-carcinogen and
contains quercetin which is helpful for cancer patients following
radiation and chemotherapy. Use just as you would celery.
- Fermented foods—they help
your body produce natural antibiotics and anti-carcinogen compounds.
Good choices here are sauerkraut, kefir, yogurt, kimchee, apple cider
vinegar, miso, tempeh and tamari.
- Garlic—its sulfur compounds inhibit tumor
metabolism and enhance immune responses. Best eaten raw in salads or
salad dressings.
- Ghee (clarified butter)—a natural
anti-carcinogen. Used heavily in Indian cooking.
- Melons—their beta-carotene is a natural
anti-carcinogen. Eat alone for breakfast or as a first course of a
meal.
- Mushrooms—they are
anti-carcinogenic and help stimulate the immune system. Good choices
are shiitake, maitake and reishi. Add to soups, stews and pizza or
sauté as a topping for beef or chicken.
- Onions—it’s hard to be these little wonders.
They lower cholesterol and are a strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,
antibiotic, antiviral, anti-parasitic and anti-carcinogen! They are
extremely versatile and can be added to just about any dish to enhance
flavor.
- Parsley—in addition
to being a natural anti-carcinogen, it also helps to purify the blood,
regulate the bowels and supports your kidneys, liver and
gallbladder. Use in salads, salad dressings, sauces and in grain and
rice dishes.
- Tea—both black and green version inhibit tumor
growth, help prevent heart disease, strengthen the immune system and are
potent antioxidants.
But that’s just the tip of
the iceberg!
Incorporating more of these cancer-fighting superstar foods into your diet
will go a L-O-N-G way in protecting you against this dreaded disease, but
that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Here are five other very important measures you can take to help keep our #2
killer far away from you:
1) Quit smoking
I know--this one should be pretty
obvious by now.
But I continue to see people lighting up wherever I go! So clearly
there's been a
disconnect somewhere in people getting this message.
Plus remember
you are not the only one you're harming with your
smoke--the dangers of
second-hand smoke are documented and very real.
Countless times I have had to hold my breath when entering a building
because I don't want to breathe in the poison from all the smokers huddled at
the entrance puffing away.
If you smoke, please quit already. Millions of people have done it
before you and it's not impossible.
If you need help, that's fine. There are lots of stop smoking programs
and aids out there. Pick one and put that cancer-loving habit behind you
for good.
2) Exercise regularly
Regular exercise helps rid your body of toxic wastes, and since cancer needs
a toxic environment in order to thrive, when you exercise and help keep your
innards clean, you are putting out a "No Vacancy" sign for cancer.
Now, don't start with your "
I can't exercise because __________"
excuses!
If you think you don't have the time, that's simply not true. You HAVE
the time for anything you MAKE the time for, and that includes exercise.
Make the time for it.
If you're self-conscious about going to a gym, that's OK. Get some
home equipment or a DVD instead.
If you're on a tight budget, as far as I know, walking is free (except for
the cost of sneakers which you probably already own).
Just be sure to get your doctor’s OK especially if you’ve been inactive for
a while.
3) Avoid unsafe exposure
to the sun
Exposing your skin to natural sunlight is how your body produces Vitamin D,
so some exposure (without sunscreen) is actually
good for you.
The problem arises when people remain in the sun unprotected for HOURS on
end and/or get a
sunburn. That's when you're really playing with
fire as far as skin cancer is concerned.
Although Vitamin D production can vary depending on your skin type and
color, as well as the strength of the sun where you live and for the particular
time of year, generally speaking
20-30 minutes of sun exposure 2-3 times
a week will help your body create the Vitamin D you need.
If you are going to be in the sun for much longer periods of time, it's wise
to either cover up with clothing or use sunscreen.
And NEVER allow yourself to "roast" in the sun to the point where
you get
burned.
4) Nourish your body with
a healthy diet and encourage good digestion
This is far and away THE #1 most important anti-cancer measure you can
take.
The National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society estimate that
at least 30-35% of all cancers are related to a
poor diet!
Here's why a good diet has such a
profound effect on cancer
prevention and treatment:
First of all, having a diet comprised of meals that are easier to digest and
contain lots of alkaline foods (like fruits and vegetables) can help eliminate
built-up
toxic wastes in your body.
So your body becomes a much less attractive home to cancer and can make it
difficult for it to thrive!
The
nutrients in a healthy diet play a big part too.
Antioxidant vitamins (like Vitamins C and E) and minerals (like selenium)
can actually help prevent and repair DNA damage that may otherwise develop into
a cancerous tumor!
Plus, Vitamins A, D and folate all encourage healthy, proper cell growth.
And many of the phytochemicals found in
fruits and vegetables (like I
talked about up above) have been shown to have anti-carcinogenic properties and
are potent antioxidants as well.

The great news is,
having this ever-important healthy diet and promoting good digestion is not
only easy, but it tastes good too.
That is, if you follow the
Great Taste No
Pain health system
-
http://www.greattastenopain.com/great.asp
or if you're gluten-sensitive,
Great Taste No
Gluten.
-
http://www.greattastenogluten.com/great.asp
Both the Great Taste No Pain and Great Taste No Gluten systems will show you
how to create healthful, nutritious meals (featuring many of the anti-cancer
foods mentioned earlier) that are not only positively delicious, but are also
easier for your system to break down.
When your digestion is accomplished more easily and thoroughly, not only
will you be helping to eliminate toxic waste build-up, but you'll also help
maximize your body's absorption of cancer-fighting nutrients from your foods.
5) The impressive
1-2 punch from healthy gut flora
Having a strong population of healthy gut flora can actually help prevent
cancer in TWO ways.
The first way that most of us are familiar with is that they help strengthen
your
immune system.
A strong immune system is absolutely
vital in the fight
against cancer. Your immune cells are constantly on alert for cells that
could potentially develop into cancer, and when they see a possible culprit,
they engulf and destroy it.
Since 70% of your immune system resides in the
beneficial bacteria in
your gut, it's essential to make sure yours are healthy and in the proper
balance.
And now another
gut-cancer connection is emerging.
Researchers from
UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center (JCCC)
have observed that certain types of dangerous bacteria that can be present in your
intestinal tract are major contributors to lymphoma (cancer of the white blood
cells).

So
clearly it's becoming increasingly important to ensure that you have a healthy
flora balance in YOUR gut.
In addition to a healthy diet like I mentioned in #4 above which nourishes
your friendly flora, probiotic supplementation can help you achieve this
important, possibly life-saving goal.
Super
Shield's 13 strains of friendly bacteria are up to this potentially
life-saving task.

As soon as they arrive "on the scene," Super Shield's impressive
"army" lines your intestinal walls, helps crowd out unhealthy
bacteria, and helps keep your digestion smooth (so carcinogens and dangerous
bacteria can be eliminated with your bowel movements instead of becoming a part
of you).
This will help keep your intestinal flora balance where it needs to be and
help build a strong, cancer-fighting immune system!
Cancer continues to be a very effective killer, but that doesn't mean you
are completely defenseless against it.
When you adopt healthy habits, help encourage your body's natural defenses
and make yourself a less attractive home to cancer, you are taking giant steps
toward fighting it and keeping it FAR away from you...for good.
I can’t think of anything more important than that.
To your health,
Sherry Brescia
PS: Always be
sure to let your doctor or healthcare provider know what supplements you are
taking.
PPS: Elden’s down 45
pounds and kissed acid reflux goodbye!
Sherry:
I just wanted to say thank you. I have been on
the Great Taste No Pain program for a little over 6 months and it works for me.
I have suffered from acid reflux for years and would take a pill each day to
eliminate it.
I initially said I would try it for 3 months and
see what happens. Well, I noticed a change in the first month of starting your
program.
Not only have I ended my acid reflux pain, I
have also lost over 45 pounds, and I do not take any medicine. I was paying
over $90.00 for a three months’ supply of pills and your program cost was far
less. Talk about saving money!
Thanks.
