From their study, some certain diet patterns seem to have a major effect, helping people diagnosed with cancer to live longer, healthier lives. They also found other diet choices which are risky propositions, increasing the toll cancer takes.
This blog translate scientific findings into simple, practical steps you can use in your own kitchen, at the grocery store, at restaurants—anywhere you’re thinking about what to eat. :)
I will post all those tips & information that i have found in internet & books everyday that i could and divide into few categories include scientific information, case study,meal planning tips, suggested tips that you can take at home, recommend food recipes and many more.
Before i start everything, i need to clarify about cancer, The fact is, some people do their very best to follow healthy lifestyles and still develop cancer. I have known people who smoke, drink heavily, and eat with absolute abandon and yet manage to live to a ripe old age (85 yr olds !!!) .
Therefore, we cannot predict with certainty who will be affected by it and who will not. But researchers have proofed that people whom are healthy eating follower tend to be live more longer that other who are not follower.
Research into food’s role in cancer survival grew from studies looking at the causes of the illness. As researchers compared the diets of people who developed cancer and those of people who remained healthy, finding many factors that do indeed influence cancer risk, they also had an opportunity to look forward, seeing how various eating patterns affect survival. It turns out that many foods that help prevent cancer in the first place also seem to help us beat the disease when it has struck.
Among the most important themes to emerge from research has been the fact that foods influence hormones that fuel cancer growth. For example, diets that are very low in fat tend to reduce the amount of estrogens (female sex hormones) circulating in the bloodstream. That turns out to be a good thing, because taming estrogens seems to reduce the likelihood that cancer cells will multiply or spread. It is not just low-fat foods that help in this way. Fiber-rich
foods reduce estrogens, too, and also reduce the amount of testosterone in
the blood, which is of key importance in prostate cancer.
