Person available is the easiest way to impact on your body - changing power. And if pricked or cut off at something agrees not everyone something to eat / not eat anything "useful" / "harmful" ready either. If the "pinned", of course.
That's why most "optimistic myths" relating to cancer, it revolves around a "therapeutic" food. Let's try to understand the recommendations newfangled gurus who promise healing from the worst diseases merely by changing the diet.
Sweet + fat
Ask any doctor and he said: to maintain health is impossible without the weight control. So you can not avoid overeating. Obviously, the extra weight increases the risk of many different diseases. Not only cardiovascular diseases, but also many types of malignant tumors, by the way. Obesity can provoke breast cancer, uterus and colon, pancreas, etc..
We will understand. So: adipose tissue is involved in the metabolism of many substances - hormones and growth factors that affect cell division. And hence the possible formation of malignant tumors, which is also initiated on the cellular level. Balanced nutrition and physical activity and normalize metabolic and regulatory processes reduce the risk of tumors in the body.
A diet rich in carbohydrates fast, often leads to overweight and therefore is one of the reasons for the emergence of the myth that cancer - "sweet tooth disease." But the presence of a normal weight of sweets in the diet does not affect the development of tumors. A risk factor is not sugar, and excess weight. If there is no obesity, cake or candy will not increase the chances of getting cancer.
Meat + salt
Today's dietary recommendations suggest a reduction in the diet of red meat and processed meat products (such as sausages and all kinds of sausages), as well as salt. This is due to an increased cancer risk.
It turns out that the carcinogenic effect, which occurs as a result of eating red meat is associated with an increased amount of heme in the muscles of animals. Therefore, the red meat of mammals and a bird -. "White" Excess "meat" heme entering the human body during digestion, damages cells and promotes their malignant degeneration. This means an excess of red meat in the diet did increase the risk of tumors in the digestive organs - stomach, pancreas, intestine.
Council nutritionists:a week you can eat no more than 700 grams of red meat! And to minimize the consumption of processed meat products containing other than "ill-fated" heme lot of preservatives and salt.
As for the salt - it is itself a carcinogen. Its abuse was significantly associated with the risk of developing cancer.
Fruits + vegetables
Nutritionists believe that you must have as many raw fruits and vegetables (unless contraindicated by other pathologies) for the prevention of cancer. Such a diet significantly reduces the risk of developing lung cancer as well as cancer of the mouth, larynx. However, the lack of natural nutrients are not compensated, as many think, taking advertised artificial additives. Pharmacy vitamins appearance of tumors less likely absolutely not.
It is proven by numerous studies: fiber-rich plant foods chances of not getting cancer of the digestive tract increases significantly. These fibers increase stool, but accelerate their passage through the digestive tract, and this reduces the contact time of harmful substances in food digested with the intestinal wall.
Effect of other products of the probability of tumor formation is open to question.
