Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by abnormal cell growth. It has more than 100 different types classified according to the type of cell affected.
During its formation in the body it undergoes a process called angiogenesis.
However, this process does not stop growing – in fact angiogenesis is activated whenever we suffer an injury and the body needs to restore any type of blood vessel.
However, this process is associated with cancer. Angiogenesis is regulated by activators and inhibitors.
All experts agree that cancer is associated with inhibitors, but activators are responsible for promoting and increasing the growth of vascular cells, so it is possible to create new blood vessels.
The following 5 foods may help fight cancer
Coffee and green tea
Drink green tea and coffee every day because they can stop angiogenesis and prevent cancer.
Blueberry and raspberry extract
Both berries contain phytochemicals that have strong antitumor properties and give the fruit a dark color. In addition, blueberries and raspberries can reduce oxidative stress and prevent angiogenesis.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a strong antioxidant that can prevent angiogenesis. According to a study conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health, people who consume tomatoes reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer by 50%.
Turmeric
turmeric and its active compound curcumin can stop angiogenesis and prevent the development of cancer.
Dark chocolate
Yes, this delicious chocolate has strong antitumor and antiangiogenic therapeutic properties, so you should enjoy it every day.
