Foods and Drinks That Can Prevent Cancer (Part 3)


............ Continued
16.  MONOUNSATURATED & POLYUNSATURATED FATS

It’s advisable to swap animal fats found in meat and dairy produce, and trans-fats found in cakes and biscuits – both of which have been linked to a raised risk of cancer – for monounsaturated fats (found in olive oil, nut oils, avocados, nuts and seeds), and polyunsaturated fats (found in vegetable oils).


17.  ONIONS

 Onions contain flavonoids, which protect cells from damage and are increasingly thought to play a vital role in preventing cancer.


One of the largest nutrient families known to man, flavonoids is an umbrella term for a group of plant metabolites with powerful antioxidant properties.


18.  OREGANO


 This wonderfully fragrant green herb is laden with the phytochemical quercetin, which slows the growth of cancer and encourages apoptosis of cancer cells, a process by which certain cells are programmed to die.


19.  PARSLEY

 The parsley herb has many health benefits: it’s anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-spasmodic. 

It also contains apigenin, a flavonoid also found in celery, peppermint, thyme and chamomile tea, that could inhibit the growth – and shorten the lifespan of – specific cancer cells. 


20. PEPPERS

 Bell peppers score highly on the flavonoids and carotenoids rich list (known to protect against cancer).


The antioxidant lycopene, which is found in tomatoes and is thought to prevent prostate cancer, is also present in red peppers.

21.  POMEGRANATES

 Pomegranate juice is known to be high in antioxidants and, according to an American study, this brightly-colored fruit also contains ellagitannins – natural compounds that seem to prevent estrogen-responsive cancer cells from multiplying.


22. PORRIDGE

 Due to the benefits of whole grains, research has found consuming a large bowl of porridge each day can also help to fight cancer.



Scientists believe oats and whole grains help to lower cholesterol, regulate blood sugar and keep people fuller for longer, preventing people from snacking on unhealthy foods and subsequently increasing their risk of illness.


23.  RED GRAPES

 Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes, as well as peanuts, pomegranates and raw cacao.

It has anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits and looks potentially promising as an effective treatment against cancer.


Of the grape varieties, muscadine grapes have the highest concentration of resveratrol.
