ATTACK Cancer with THESE 5 Nutrients (Amazing!)
Cancer is a disease you want to stay ahead of.
Once you have it… and once it spreads… in most cases there’s nothing you can do about it.
That’s why it’s the world’s second leading cause of death.
But there are steps you can take that will help STOP cancer before it has a chance to grow and spread.
Some have to do with what you don’t put in your body—like cigarette smoke.
And some have to do with what you do… like these five nutrients that have impressive cancer-fighting properties.
#1 Flaxseeds
One study showed that consuming 25 grams per day of flaxseeds inhibited the growth of breast and prostate tumors.
Flaxseeds can decrease estrogen levels, which helps prevent breast cancer.
And studies have even shown that consuming them can help boost the effectiveness of the cancer drug Tamoxifen.
You can take a flaxseed oil supplement, or buy them whole and ground them up to put in cereals or smoothies.
#2 Garlic
Garlic can do a lot more than add flavor to your meals… it can dramatically reduce your risk of cancer.
Compounds found in garlic can block the signaling pathways involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells.
They’ve also been shown to selectively kill cancer cells—which means unlike toxic treatments like chemotherapy, they leave your healthy cells alone.
Cancer happens at the cellular level—and that’s exactly where garlic does its work.
#3 Selenium
The trace mineral selenium has numerous anti-cancer properties, including helping repair and protect your DNA, helping counteract the damage of toxins in the body, and helping regulate inflammatory and immune responses.
Studies show that it also helps prevent tumor cells from growing and spreading—while also helping directly kill off the cancer cells.
#4 Curcumin
Curcumin is the active ingredient in the spice turmeric. It’s best known for its impact on pain, but its cancer-fighting powers are just as impressive.
By suppressing certain signaling pathways, curcumin helps prevent the growth and spread of tumors, and also induces apoptosis (a mechanism that causes cancer cells to self-destruct).
Cell studies show that curcumin has anti-tumor actions against cancers of the breast, lung, head and neck, prostate, and brain.
Several human trials have also shown curcumin to be safe and effective for cancer patients.
#5 Vitamin D
What list would be complete without a mention of vitamin D?
People in the southern latitudes tend to have lower rates of cancer—and lower death from cancer—compared to people in the north. This is due to more sunlight exposures, which increases vitamin D in your body.
In cancer cell studies, vitamin D has numerous anti-tumor activities, including decreasing the growth of cancer cells, stimulating the death of cancer cells, and reducing the ability of tumors to form new blood vessels.
The best way to boost your levels is to spend more time outdoors.
