As an expert in Food and nutrition, Dr. Stein asserts that living a healthy life depends highly on what you choose to eat. In light of this, many health complications have resulted from poor eating habits. A large number of diseases that face us today, especially chronic illnesses, are as a result of a certain type of foods that we always seem unable to keep away. From what I have been hearing from my friends, they have suffered from food induced illnesses at one point in their life. Therefore, we must be keen on what we put in our mouths. However, as we give a critical look at our diet, we must comprehend the fact that food can also be a great source of medicinal benefits. In this article, we shall look at foods that are a great remedy for Cancer. Cancer remedying foods can be found in plenty not only in nature but as processed products as well. Most processed products which act as cancer remedies are usually made in the form of supplements. In this regard, we cannot fully consider them as foods.

Over the years cancer has taken many lives. The most saddening fact though is that many types of cancer are categorized as lifestyle diseases. What this means is that our lifestyles have a direct relationship to the probability of a cancer infection. In most studies, food has taken center stage with regards to the frequency of cancer infection. Many people who have died of cancer over the years had poor diets. Most of us confuse between a poor diet and a heavy diet. A poor diet does not necessarily imply have very little food. Quite to the contrary, a poor diet means having a lot to eat but all of which has a very low nutritional value. One of the many foods that have been associated with the highest number of cancer infections is fast foods. Fast foods which contain too much cholesterol are highly discouraged. Choose to live a healthy life by avoiding such foods.

Well, now assuming you already have cancer or you know someone who has cancer, what would you recommend to such a person? In my opinion, the first thing needs to do is reassure the person that cancer is treatable. A few years ago, without the extensive research in the field of medicine, many people lost their lives to cancer. This was due to the lack a proven treatment at the time. However, in our modern era, you can breathe with ease knowing there are many remedies for cancer. Of these remedies, preventive measures are preferable to curative alternatives. With this in mind, therefore, all cancer patients need to have reassurance that their condition has a cure.

Among the many cures at for cancer at present are chemotherapy, surgical removal of the cancerous cells and my best is antioxidants. Most of the other cancer remedies have been found to have some serious side effects. Fortunately, the foods we are going to look at have no side effects at all. This fact makes these foods the ultimate cancer remedies. As we look at each one of these foods, you must take a moment to reflect on your diet. This article is intended to open up your mind so that you can have a healthy diet.
