Cancer is one of the dreaded diseases which claim many lives every year, in women breast cancer, cervical cancer and ovarian cancer and in men oral cancers, intestinal malignancies and prostrate cancers are the key offenders. There are some key messages which are important to be known to prevent or manage malignancies.


Avoid carcinogens as far as possible

• Many carcinogens are avoidable like smoking, chewing tobacco, pan masala and excessive alcohol. By controlling them a big drop in cancers is seen in the people.
• Taking precautions when working with hazardous chemicals and gases
• Avoid pre cancerous chemicals in foods and environment – there are many chemicals which come through the foods and environment and the less of highly processed foods we eat and try to prefer the fresh foods, the better chances of avoiding the pre cancerous carcinogens.


Foods which protect against cancers
 
Foods which protect against cancers have to be foods with vital energy and such foods are in the category of fresh foods. Foods like fresh vegetables and fruits along with whole grains are a good source of preventive foods.


To give some examples,
 
Green vegetables – in the winter one can eat lots of green leafy vegetable lightly sautéed like palak, methi, green leafy vegetables should be carefully washed to avoid worms and then cooked . They can also be eaten in the form of soups, rolled in rotis, vegetables and in dal ( dal-palak is an excellent combination ) green vegetables have special compounds which neutralize the cancerous chemicals.
 
Yellow, red and white vegetables – cauliflower, carrot, beetroot are some of the vitamin and enzyme rich vegetables which are cancer protective .

Onion and garlic – particularly people who are non vegetarians need these two in their diet as they have sulforapane and indoles which specifically protect against cancer.
 
Avoiding meat, pork and switching to fish is a better choice to prevent cancers . Heavy meats are directly linked to cancers and all the new researches have conclusively indicated that switching to lean meats and preferably a more vegetarian based diet is useful to prevent cancers.
 

Herbs
 
Some of the herbs which are beneficial namely haldi, ashwagandha, tulsi, triphala, shatavri, which primarily work as antioxidants to destroy the cancer cell membranes, they also make the environment less acidic by bringing in more alkali based ions to the cells as many cancers thrive in an acidic environment where the toxin accumulation is very high and also the oxygen levels are low.
 
Cancer management is a lifestyle management also because some components of cancer management like positive visualizations are powerful but they need time to go deep into the system and heal it.

    The article is a good one from the knowledge point of view. If we visits any Physicians or Dietician will also advise the same. The important point is that the pictured vegetables and fruits are rarely available at commoners budget and at markets. The freely and cheaply available is what is not suppose to consumed ones i.e. gutkas, tobacco, liquor, pan masala, beedies and cigarettes. JAI HO!!

    @ juliet mascarenhas madam all these epidemic breakouts where even present in olden days, but the man dint knew what exactly was goin on with in his own body, may b medical science was not that developed in those days to name it as cancer. but i agree the the rate of people getting cancer have increased with large margin when compared to olden days and this is just bcoz man wanted changes in every field and with the changes came the ugly side of the changes !!!!!!

    Even the people who live only on vegetables also are affected by cancer.olden days people used more of meat, pork but the cancer disease was less known to them. Use balanced diet and avoid diseases. Eat less, live long.
