1. What vegetables can I eat to fight cancer?
carrot
Carrots contain a glucoamylase, which can decompose nitrosamines and lignin in food, so that the activity of macrophages phagocytizing cancer cells in the body is increased by 2 to 4 times, thereby enhancing the body's immunity, inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and playing a role in preventing cancer. Glucoamylase can also decompose starch, fat and other ingredients in food. In addition, carrots contain less calories and more cellulose, which makes them feel full after eating. So some people also regard it as a necessity to lose weight. Mustard oil and dietary fiber contained in carrots can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, stimulate appetite, and help to excrete waste in the body.
The iron content of carrots is 40% higher than that of white radishes and 75% higher than that of green radishes, which helps to enrich blood. The content of potassium, calcium, iron, selenium and other substances in female carrots (a hybrid radish) is several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary radishes. Moreover, eating raw female carrots can reduce blood lipid and cholesterol, and can prevent diseases such as coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis.
Carrots can be eaten raw with skin directly. Cut the washed carrots into strips and add a pot of tea. The effect will be better. Carrots can also be mixed with cold dishes, such as sweet and sour shredded radish. Wash and shred radish, add appropriate amount of sugar and vinegar and mix well. Sweet and sour, refreshing. Carrots can also be squeezed into juice. Carrots are peeled, washed, sliced or cut into strips, added with 200ml warm water and appropriate amount of honey, squeezed into juice, and taken as soon as possible, otherwise it will be easily oxidized in the air.
(2) Mushrooms
Mushrooms are the best among mushrooms. Mushrooms, also known as "mountain delicacies", are rich in vitamin B and provitamin D, which can effectively improve immunity, resist tumors and reduce blood fat. Everyone can eat more every day.
Mushrooms are not only delicious, but also nutritious. The protein content of dried mushrooms is as high as 20%, which is higher than that of lean meat. The proportion of amino acids in mushroom protein is balanced, which is easy to be absorbed and utilized by human body. In addition, the fat content in mushrooms is very low, only about 1%, and it is rich in dietary fiber, which is an ideal food for obese people.
Mushrooms also contain a special "health care" ingredient-mushroom polysaccharide. Mushroom polysaccharide has a strong anticancer effect, can inhibit the growth of tumor cells, and is a nutrient to improve human immunity. But also can be used to enhance the immunity of cancer patients and play an anti-cancer role in clinic. Drinking mushroom soup often in winter can not only warm your stomach, but also enhance your immunity and help you stay away from colds.
(3) Chinese kale
Many people know that cruciferous vegetables are called "anti-cancer vegetables" because they are rich in glucosinolates with anti-cancer effects, but what most people don't know is that glucosinolates in kale are the highest, followed by radish and broccoli, which are sought after by many people. From this point of view, the content of anticancer substances in Chinese kale is relatively the most, and its nutritional and health care effects are also high.
In terms of nutrition, Chinese kale is also one of the best cultivated vegetables, with an average of vitamin C 103 mg per gram of Chinese kale, which is nearly three times higher than that of rape. It is a good source of vitamin C in the diet. In addition, the content of micronutrients such as carotene, vitamin B2, vitamin K, folic acid, magnesium and potassium in Chinese kale is quite high, and it is a green leafy vegetable with high nutritional value. Boiling, stir-frying, soup, all kinds of practices, you can try.
2, the principle of anti-cancer diet
1. Not too salty.
If we reduce salt and salt products and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, the incidence of gastric cancer will be reduced. Nitrite is the first killer of tumors. Stale vegetables, pickled ham and pickles all contain this carcinogen. Under normal circumstances, the nitrite in the diet will not cause harm to human health, but it will only cause harm to human health when the intake of nitrite is excessive and vitamin C is lacking in the body. If you eat too salty, it will destroy the gastric mucosa and promote the reduction of nitrate into nitrite.
2. Don't be too detailed
Modern people eat too fine food, which greatly reduces the intake of cellulose. Cellulose can absorb a lot of water, promote intestinal peristalsis, accelerate the excretion of feces, shorten the residence time of carcinogens in the intestine, and reduce the adverse stimulation to the intestine, thus preventing the occurrence of intestinal cancer. Coarse grains, cereals, celery and fungus are all foods rich in cellulose. However, excessive intake of cellulose will affect the absorption of many nutrients and reduce physical strength, so 10-30 grams per day is appropriate.
Don't overdo it
Investigation shows that if the intake of oil and animal protein increases, the incidence of colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and pancreatic cancer will increase. High-temperature fried food will produce benzopyrene, heterocyclic amine and acrylamide, which may be related to female lung adenocarcinoma, but boiling and microwave steaming will not happen.
