  • Angiogenesis Inhibitors are unique cancer-fighting agents because they block the growth of blood vessels that support tumor growth rather than blocking the growth of tumor cells themselves.
  • Antineoplastic Agents also referred to as chemotherapy drugs or cytotoxic drugs, are the most common type of systemic drug therapy to treat cancer. These agents interfere with cancer cells’ ability to grow and spread in a variety of ways.
  • Avoid or Minimize Sugar (especially fructose) which doesn't mean replacing it with aspartame or other toxic sweeteners !
  • Broccoli and other cruciferous veggies, like cauliflower, Arugula and watercress seem to lower cancer risk. Researchers have proven that compounds in broccoli called glucosinolates are transformed in isothiocyanates (ITCs) wich halt the growth of cancer cells. Isothiocyanates are formed after chewing and digestion food with glucosinolates. They are found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower.

  • Berries, in general, are rich in antioxidant that helps in reducing the risk of developing cancer by protecting the cells from the damage caused by oxidative stress. Although berries also showcase other potential health benefits, its ability to reduce cancer risk is the common subject of most clinical and animal studies.Berries contain an antioxidant phytonutrient called ellagic acid that prevents cell membrane damage caused by free radicals. They also contain flavonoids which are often classified as anthocyanins that give red berries their color.
  • Watercress prevents DNA Damage.
  • Milk Thistle has been explored for cancer prevention.
  • Spinach : The green leafy vegetable is packed with phytonutrients that has been found by different studies to be potent anti-cancer compounds. Phytonutrients primarily reduce the risk of developing cancer by scavenging harmful free radicals and preventing oxidative stress. Spinach also has anti-inflammatory properties that prevent cancer by battling its root cause.
  • Red Cabbage : A study on red cabbage shows that its glucosinolate compound can prevent a variety of cancers including Prostate Cancer, Colon Cancer, Breast Cancer and Bladder Cancer. It also contains omega-3 fatty acids, folate, manganese, dietary fiber and magnesium – all of which are strong cancer-fighting nutrients.
  • Tomatoes : The lycopene content of tomatoes had received most of the credits in its ability to prevent cancer. The carotenoid content of tomatoes, the pigment that gives it its red color, had been the subject of different studies, of which most have come to the conclusion that the nutrient in tomatoes can reduce the risk of developing cancer.
  • vitamin C : The nutrient, which is also present in other fruits and vegetables, is a strong antioxidant that has the ability to prevent cancer and other diseases by eliminating free radicals in the body and thereby reducing oxidative damage that may promote the development of abnormal behavior in cells.
  • Mushrooms : The broadest spectrum of anticancer properties is found in Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi), followed closely by Cordicepe sinensis and Lentinula edodes (Shitake).
  • Astragalus may boost immune response in patients with cancer and increase their body's ability to kill cancer cells
  • D-limonene is the oil from orange peels. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin found that when d-limonene was added to the diets of rats who had developed tumors, 90% of them had their tumors disappear completely. In a related study, animals that were given d-limonene one hour before being exposed to known carcinogens, were protected from the effects of the carcinogens at a highly significant rate. In rats, large doses of d-limonene produce kidney problems, but in dogs, there were no side effects. You can do what most juice experts have been saying for years: juice the orange and the peel together—just make sure your oranges are organically grown
  • Boil, poach or steam your foods, rather than frying or charbroiling them. Better yet eat as many of your foods raw as you can.
  • A vitamin E-rich daily serving of spinach or a handful of almonds can fight cancer.
  • FRUITS AND VEGETABLES RICH IN CAROTENOIDS : Carrots, yams, sweet potatoes, squash, tomatoes, apricots, beets and all the brightly coloured fruits and vegetables contain vitamin A and lycopene, which have the proven capacity to inhibit the growth of particularly aggressive cancers.
  • HERBS AND SPICES : Rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil and mint are rich in essential oils of the tarpene family which reduce the spread of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes they need to invade neighbouring tissues.
  • avoid Oils rich in omega-6 fatty acids (corn, sunflower, safflower, soy).
  • Avocados are rich in glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that attacks free radicals. This buttery fruit also supplies more potassium than bananas. And they’re a terrific source of beta-carotene.
