Foods that Fight Cancer: The Top 5

Be aware of these top 5 foods that fight cancer. On the whole cancer is a man-made disease; the result of turning too far from the lifestyle of our ancestors. By avoiding diets – and foods that fight cancer in particular – as well as activities that are health supporting, while accepting a highly artificial lifestyle and continually exposing our bodies to excess chemicals, we are encouraging many cancers to develop. This is why what you eat is so important to avoiding this top killer.

Your immune system is your internal body shield, your front-line of defence (white blood cells) against disease. If your immune system is weakened your body is more susceptible to invasion. The only way to build up your defences system (immune) is through diet.

Your eating habits either strengthen or weaken your immune system! Foods that feed cancer or foods that fight cancer. Eating enough plant based foods will ensure you aren’t deficient in the antioxidants and phytochemicals that feed your immune systems cells to defend the body against cancer.

It is commonly known that certain foods such as sugars (fructose in particular) and processed meats and foods contribute to cancer. Other foods can help prevent cancer and some may even kill cancer cells.

That being said “Let Food Be Thy Medicine” (Hippocrates).
