Top 10 Foods That Inhibit Tumor Growth

Top 10 Foods That Inhibit Tumor Growth

The following foods have all been found to contain powerful cancer-fighting elements. We highly suggest adding them to your daily diet to reduce inflammation and strengthen your immune system.

1. Green Tea

Green tea polyphenols actually inhibit an enzyme required for cancer cell growth. In addition to inhibiting cancer cells from growing, Polyphenols (GTP), has been found to kill cancer cells without affecting the healthy ones (2).

The amount of green tea intake necessary for anti-cancer effects has been suggested to be around 3 cups of tea a day (in cases such as early stage breast cancer). Women who had three cups of green tea had 57% fewer relapses than women who drank one cup or less per day (3)

2. Resveratrol and Grapes

Resveratrol, a known potent antioxidant found in a number of plants like grape skins, pomegranate, and raw cocoa has been found to have anti-cancer benefits.

Resveratrol is also a powerful anti-inflammatory (preventing cancer as a result of excess inflammation), that has also been found to aid cancer treatment (4).

3. Tomatoes

Researches have found that eating tomatoes have the potential to protect men from prostate cancer. The fruit helps guard the DNA in your cells from damage that leads to cancer. Tomatoes are also high in antioxidants and aid your body in the absorption of lycopene, a cancer-fighting antioxidant (5).

When regularly consumed, tomatoes can help lower your overall risk of cancer. By regulating hormones, releasing toxins, and reducing levels of cholesterol, it is a valuable addition to your daily diet (6).

4. Cannabis Oil

Despite the taboos associated with it, cannabis oil hosts an abundance of health benefits, particularly in the realm of fighting cancer.  Cannabis oil may be one of the strongest cancer-fighting food available,  due to the fact that they activate cannabinoid receptors in the body. Cannabinoids play a major role in immune system generation and regeneration, vital parts of battling cancer (7).

5. Spirulina

Spirulina is an ideal supplements for cancer patients. The tiny algae contains one the highest levels of chlorophyll per ounce than any other plant (nearly 58 percent). The algae also contains high amounts of vitamin B, C and E. This potent cocktail of nutrients creates a two-fold attack against cancer (8).

6. Cruciferous Vegetables

Cruciferous vegetables are the ultimate anti-inflammatory food. In addition to their antifungal, anti-bacterial properties they are also rich in vitamins C, E, and K, as well as folate and minerals. These nutrient-dense vegetables help protect cells from DNA damage, render carcinogens inactive, induce cancer cell death, and inhibit tumor blood vessel formation, making them a powerful cancer-fighting choice (9).

7. Garlic

Several population studies have found that by increasing your intake of garlic you can significantly reduce your risk of certain cancers, including colon, esophagus, breast, pancreas, and stomach.

In addition to this, garlic is also capable of halting the activation of cancer-causing substances, reducing cell proliferation, enhancing DNA repair and inducing cancerous cell death (10).

8. Turmeric

The main active ingredient found in turmeric called curcumin and has been found by researchers to stop precancerous cells from changing into cancer. A number of laboratory studies on cancer cells have found that curcumin does have anticancer effects, and seem to be able to kill cancer cells as well as prevent them from growing (11).

9. Sea Vegetables

Sea vegetables, including kelp, wakame, arami, hiki, noi and kombu are abundant in minerals such as magnesium, iron, and bio-available iodine. However, the most impressive of these nutrients are their dense concentration of fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide that has been found to treat neoplastic diseases, including cancer. The vegetables have been found to be particularly effective in cases of colon cancer and cervical cancer (12).

10. Medicinal Mushrooms

Maitake, shiitake, cordyceps, reishi, Coriolanus, and other mushrooms have been found to be effective in the treatment and prevention of cancer. Research has found that the mushrooms increase survival times in breast, lung, and prostate patients.

Eating any of these medicinal mushrooms can help shrink cancer tumors up to 70 percent, stimulate the immune system, reduce blood supply to prostate cancer tumors, and reduce the dangerous side-effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy (13).
