How to Defeat Cancer

Cancer is a disease that strikes fear in the hearts and minds to every human being. It has become an epidemic in every country of the world, and no population is free of it.
Today, cancer is the second leading cause of death and if current trends continue, it is expected to be the leading cause of death.

The good news is that the cancer deaths could be prevented by changing bad habits and lives healthfully. Eat foods that help build your body’s defenses against cancer.
Cancer is largely a preventable disease.
While a small proportion of cancers are caused by inherited genes, the vast majority are triggered by DNA damage that accumulates during a person's lifetime. You can't pick your parents, but by the wise choice of the foods and lifestyle you can reduce your risk of developing and possibly even stop cancer in its tracks.
The research shows that only 5-10% of all cancer cases can be caused by genetic defects, but the remaining 90-95% of all cancers is due to identified factors.
Research is showing that certain foods have properties that can starve the microscopic cancers that develop in our bodies all the time. These properties are based on the breakthrough approach of suppressing blood vessels that feed cancers, a process known as angiogenesis.
The thousands of tiny blood vessels present in almost every square millimeter of our bodies.
The growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels is called angiogenesis.
Angiogenesis is a vital process for growth and wound healing. Cancer turns the body against itself by hijacking the angiogenesis process and steals the oxygen and nutrients from tissues and multiplies them. But, unlike normal tissues, cancer tissues don’t help to grow or on healing process.
In a person with cancer, uncontrolled angiogenesis keeps cancer cells growing and allows them to spread in an uncontrolled way. In normal human being tissues follow a process to grow but the cancer cell grow in an uncontrolled way.
A major reason cancer is so difficult to cure is that by the time it can be detected, it is often very advanced, and like all advanced diseases, much more difficult to treat.
The microscopic cancers that form in our bodies all the time are mostly harmless. These cancers aren’t even visible on a standard X-ray or body scan. So, to effectively prevent cancer, angiogenesis needs to be brought under control before the tumor can get a foothold. This is where your everyday diet comes into play.
We know that all phytonutrients that are present in fruits and vegetable has the power to inhibit cancer cells. But all fruits and vegetables are not created equal – some are much more potent than others, based on their anti-angiogenesis profiles.
Choose one cancer fighting food for each meal. At 3 meals each day, that adds up to more than a thousand of cancer fighting food choices each year.
