Cancer Fighting Minerals
 Article

 

Cancer fighting agents can be found in nutrients and minerals. Since our soils have been depleted of these essential nutrients and minerals, it is hard to get all that your body requires, from the foods you eat. Supplements are available to fill this void and provide your body with the proper levels.

Waging war against cancer - There are many ways to help prevent cancer. The most exciting aspect of cancer prevention today is the focus on prevention. During the past 10 years medical science show that particular nutrients, minerals and an active lifestyle can dramatically reduce your risk of cancer. This same lifestyle can also help those being treated for cancer. The next 10 years show promise that even more will be discovered about the battle on cancer.

The war on cancer is entering its third decade, where it is becoming clearer that medical science should engage the enemy in several ways. Until recently, the medical community has mostly waged a high tech war against this monster. Now advocates of prevention receive equal, if not greater attention.

Improving our diets and prudently supplementing with nutrients and minerals can deliver a major prevention impact. Contentiously experts concede that at least a third (and probably more) of all cancers can be blamed on a combination of eating too much of the wrong foods and not enough of the right ones.

Though cancer can progress rapidly once it leaps past its inception, it develops over many years and in several stages. Beneficial compounds in food and supplements may intervene along a line that runs from initial exposure to carcinogens to the final step into outright malignancy. Nutrients can: · Counteract environmental poisons and the toxic byproducts of liver metabolism · Neutralize free radicals (which might otherwise cause carcinogenic mutations in DNA) · Boost the immune system · Inhibit enzymes that drive cell proliferation · Halt metastasis (cancerous reproduction)

Dietary guidelines advocated by the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute suggest eating plenty of fruits and vegetables. Get lots of fiber, and limit fat, especially animal fat. Red and Orange pigments found in fruits and vegetables (Carotenoid) supply free radical-fighting activity. Carotenoids found primarily in tomatoes supply double the free radical-fighting activity of beta-carotene, the most widely studied carotenoid. This carotenoid may be the best at lowering a man's risk of prostate cancer. Resveratrol a constituent of the skin of red grapes is found to protect hearts by blocking oxidation of LDL cholesterol and discouraging blood clotting. Now tests show it also squelched both free radicals and inflammation, two well-known cancer inducers. Products related to this article.
