Wrinkles Away in 5 Min.

I heard from a friend and have read in some books that eating certain foods that are antioxidant rich (such as tomatoes, cherries, and grapes) can somewhat decrease your risk of getting cancer. I this true? I eat that stuff all the time so I wanted to know what the verdict was on that case. Also, does anybody know any other serious tips on how to decrease your risk of getting cancer? Thanks!

Please read this answer as I have a lot of valuable info even though it is long in here

Eating lots of fruits and veggies especially organic ones and raw ones is a prime way to help prevent cancer.

I feel you would greatly benefit from reading this excellent book based on 10,000 medical studies.

You can get a good used copy on amazon for only 1 cent plus $3.99 shipping– a great value at $4.00

The book is a wonderful resource for all kinds of illnesses and tells which foods prevent or cure various diseases and which lead to/promote these diseases.

It has, as far as cancer specifically, general guidelines on what to eat to prevent/cure cancer and also many different cancers. (as well as tons of other things)

For instance, the dark orange and green leafy veggies are especially important in preventing lung cancer and eating as little as 2 carrots a day greatly reduce one’s chances.while colon cancer is helped/prevented by cruciferous veggies and carrots.

I got the book from my shelf to answer this more and in addition to covering, in a very interesting easy reading style various illnesses and research on different foods, it contains info on antioxidants and various types of antioxidants and which foods contain the most as well as which foods are highest in different vitamins, minerals, omega three fatty acids etc.

She has another good book called "food pharmacy" that bases the book on various foods while this one which is more comprehensive and recommended first talks of various diseases and what helps prevent them.

She has a section on antioxidants and does say they prevent various diseases including cancer.

A tip she gives is the darker the color, generally the more antioxidants it contains.

Always pick darker over lighter like black grapes over purple grapes over green grapes or red onions over yellow onions over white onions etc but also eat the rainbow trying to get some from each color group daily (red/orange/yellow/white-brown/purple-blue and green) Get lots of green especially a wide variety of leafy greens.

I also saw a film recently by Victoria Butenko -a raw food faddist for decades who cured her family of many diseases including type one diabetes, asthma, arrhythmias, extreme obesity etc by switching to a 100% raw vegan diet..they achieved perfect health but after being 100% raw for 13 years, her family stopped growing younger and started growing older again.

A huge and intensive search into various foods and animals lead her to green leafy veggies but they were hard to consume in the large amounts we need them in (40% of the diet). Finally she discovered that the awful taste could be made palatable by making them into green smoothies using a diverse assortment of greens which were rotated often combined with fruit in the smoothie. It made them taste much better.

She had miracle results and was drinking an incredible 2 gallons a day (when your nutrition is that high, you lose food and junk cravings and this satisfied her) but she said one quart is extremely beneficial. She found if just one or two kinds is used all the time, one gets sick as each leaf contains chemicals that an be toxic when used every day like oxalic acid etc. She found they are the most nutritious food containing every nutrient in large amounts except vit b12.

Some of them are as follows" kale, collard greens, swiss chard, turnips greens, mustard greens spinach, carrot tops, beet tops, radish tops, romaine, broccoli, watercress, parsley, asian greens ( a wide assortment) and wild greens like lamb’s quarter, dandelion greens, burdock, etc.

The more raw foods especially produce one can get int their diet the better, and the green smoothie is the miracle higher than the average veggie.

She theorizes when we only eat 5% raw, we are absorbing just .03% of the nutrients..when we get to 50% raw, it ups to about .1% so we feel much better and more energetic..when we are going 75% raw we get about 1% of the nutrients in our food, when we are 99% raw it goes to 3% absorption and when we are 100% raw, it jumps ten times to 30%. this is when phenomenal health takes place but any step in the right direction helps

I just read this on the absorption rate yesterday and was stunned.

I once read people who added 6 cups of raw juice a day cured all kinds of diseases even with no other changes so get some juices, smoothies and green smoothies in your diet and lots of it as well as eating more raw produce and cooked produce too.

Also plant fats are healthier than animal fats which are very disease promoting. Things like avocados, raw nuts and seeds, good raw veggie oils and raw olives all help. Also get rid of milk..start making raw milks from nuts or buying soy milk, almond milk, oat milk or rice milk instead and at least go half and half while you cut back and only organic on that.

Raw is the key to health of super proportions…the more raw the better. I recently watched several videos and books where I learned so much about the miracle of raw foods.

You also want to detoxify..especially the elimination organs–colon cleansing, kidney-bladder, liver cleansing, liver bladder cleansing, lung cleansing, blood cleansing, skin brushing with cold and cold showers, mucus cleanse, etc. The colon cleanse is the most important.

Good products for this are sold at herbdoc.com by a man who saved hundreds of thousands from every kind of incurable diseases in his clinic and since.

Some good cleanses for mucus and other kinds can be found in Linda page’s book called detoxification sold at her site healthyhealing.com

Her other book healthy healing is a book that every health library should have..it is my favorite book to help people with with various illnesses.

also the emotions have a big link to disease,,try to lesson sadness. worry, anger, fear and other negative attitudes and feelings and cultivate things like love, joy, trust, gratitude, peace etc

The book food your miracle medicine lists the following as places to get the most antioxidants.

See recommends red grapes over green; red and yellow onions over white; cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli raw or lightly cooked; garlic raw and crushed (a super antioxidant), fresh and frozen over canned (frozen not that great as enzymes or life force dies), extra virgin cold pressed olive oil; the deepest darkest green leafy veggies; pink grapefruit over white; whole fruits and fresh juices; fresh juices or canned (frozen ok) and deepest carrots,. sweet potatoes, pumpkins etc.

the thing I noticed when reading the book was that for almost every disease discussed, the things that often showed up in the encourage this disease were meat and alcohol and high fat foods (more animal than plant) and those often showing up in the prevent or cure category were a wide variety of fruits and veggies as well as nuts, seeds, legumes. whole grains were pretty good too.

for preventing cancer, she recommends –veggies notably garlic, cabbage, soybeans, onions, carrots, tomatoes, all green and yellow veggies, fruits especially citrus,tea, fatty fish (mackerel, salmon both wild caught or canned but not farm raised), sardines and herring are some of the highest sources veggie sources of omega three fats are flax seeds, flax seed oil, purslane, chia seeds and raw walnuts (hard to find many land sources) but chia seds are superhigh (also called salba).

Foods that encourage cancer are meat, high fat foods, veggie oils like corn oil, and excessive alcohol and ones that help thwart the spread of cancer are seafood, garlic, cruciferous veggies (like kale, broccoli, cauliflower, radish, turnip, chard, cabbage, collard greens, etc)

she also has chapters on preventing various kinds of cancer like lung, breast, pancreatic etc. Each chapter discusses in more detail the studies and why this food helps and how to take it She goes into more of the top veggie cancer fighters (too many to type) and much more.

If one can becomes a vegan and eat 5% raw foods or more, all types of cancer and every illness have been helped/cured. Go to hacres.com and read some of the testimonies.
