World Hematology 2018 is here today to discuss about the simplest methods to prevent Cancer to certain extent.
Our changing lifestyle is the main reason for Cancer. One of the major reason includes food too. Here we have few ways that helps reduce the risk of Cancer.
Have more plant based food and less animal based: No single food can prevent or fight cancer on its own but research shows that vegetables and fruits protect against a range of cancers because they contain the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants
that keeps our body healthy and strengthen our immune system. They are
also a good source of photochemicals, which help protect our cells from
damage that can lead to cancer. Aim for a plate of food that has at
least two-thirds whole grains, vegetables, beans or fruit. Dairy
products, fish, and meat should take up no more than a third of the
plate.
Avoid refined carbohydrates: Carbohydrates
help fuel the proper functioning of our bodies and especially the
brain, so cutting out carbs from diet suggest isn’t always healthy.
However, it’s important to avoid refined carbohydrates from foods made
with white sugar, white flour, white pasta, white rice, and concentrated
fruit juices. The carbohydrates we need to fuel our body can be got
through vegetables and fruits because they are loaded with fiber and
evidence suggest that diets high in fiber prevent cancers and promote
weight control.
Increased consumption of omega-3 fatty acids: A growing body of
research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of
cancer and help manage certain cancers. For good health, Americans need
to eat more foods containing omega-3 like fatty fish, fish oil, walnuts,
seafood and spinach and avoid foods with omega-6 fatty acids which are
often found in oils, fast food, processed snack foods and pastries.
Since many cancers are linked to chronic inflammation, increasing
consumption of omega-3 fatty acids is important as it reduces
inflammation in the body.
Follow the rainbow: When eating for disease
prevention, the best health tip we can follow is to “follow the
rainbow,” meaning that we should include as many colorful foods in diet
as possible. The beautiful colors found in vegetables and fruits are the
results of antioxidants, which protect our body from the damage of free
radicals and build a shield around them so that they are unable to
damage the cells in our bodies, which can cause cancer and other chronic
diseases. While it’s impossible to keep bodies from accumulating free
radicals, by eating more whole foods we can borrow their antioxidant
super powers to reduce aging and diseases.
