Cancer Prevention
September 30, 2008
It has been considered by scientists that Vitamin D is a potential fighter against cancer for over a decade but has never been till date a gold-standard trial. A report presented after carrying out a study by the researchers of Creighton University of US and further published in the American Journal of clinical Nutrition states that a low chance of 60%-77% of having cancer is incident on women who add to their diet an additional amount of 1000 international units (IU) of vitamin D almost every day for more than 4 years than the ones who do not do so.
According to lead study author, Dr Joan Lappe, this effect is not only limited to women. What Dr Lappe says is that, cancer cells die out fast due to the presence of Vitamin D which accelerates the functioning of the immune system efficiently.
It was nature who proposed us to make up Vitamin D from the sun. But that necessarily depends upon your location of your home, which time of the year and how much you stay out in public places. And in fact, you
may not reach the minimum level of 80 nanomoles per liter of blood.
A blood test can present a basic outline. Dr Lappe suggests a1100-2000 IU of Vitamin D in a single pill every day. This particular vitamin is also found in reindeer meat, shiitake mushrooms, salmon, sardines.
Wanna Have Blueberries ?
Do you have pterostilbene? A recent survey from the University at Rutgers in the US revealed the fact that this particular amalgam does exist in blueberries which is gifted with the colon-cancer fighting property. A certain experiment was carried out in which rats having this kind of cancer were fed with a diet containing this supplement. The results showed that the ones which were fed with this diet had 57% lesser chances of contracting pre-cancerous lesions than the ones not fed with this diet.
Having blueberries helps you to take in a huge dose of vitamin C ,i.e., 14 milligrams each cup. Studies from New England Research Institute by their scientist expose another interesting fact that of 42,340 men, the ones having the highest nutritional vitamin C intake had a less chance of 50% to mature pre-malignant oral lesions than the ones who had really low levels of intake . Accordin to Dr Bandaru Reddy , a professor of chemical biology at Rutgers University , states that , this supplement of two doses fed to the rats equals the human need.
A sliced grapefruit, 225 ml of juice and a cup half filled will blueberries for your breakfast will do wonders. If this meal tends to become too heavy for you, then have this meal throughout the day.
Drop In Selenium
According to the Director of the Gerald P. Murphy Cancer Foundation in the US, Dr David Waters, Selenium, for quite a long time has been thought of as a potential combat element against the deadly cancer. But as the saying goes, you just cannot have too much of a good thing. In the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, a survey of more than 1000 men was published and exposed the fact that the risk of having prostate-cancer was cut down by a whooping 92% for the ones who had the shortest rates of selenium in their body and had been fed regularly for more than four-an-a-half year with this supplement.
Men who were instead, fed with high selenium doses right from the beginning developed 88% increment in the chances of having cancer.
Thus, we can conclude that you have to make huge payments to get to the level of selenium exact.
Better ask your doctor to get a check of your selenium level the next time when you go in for a blood test. If the level is low, start taking up grains, meats, tuna and Brazilian nuts to bring about an increase in the levels.
Your Ultimate Rescuer – Sweets !
Repeated research results have proven that the ultimate way to win over cancer is to do your exercises regularly. A recent research from Norway has revealed a better fact that even a little bit of exercise will work
wonders for you.
Published in the International Journal of Cancer , a review on 29,110 mean reveals a fact that men who exercised once in a week had a lesser risk of around 30% of developing metastatic prostate cancer than the
ones who did not do it at all. Your risks keep lessening as you increase your regularity, period and strength involved in it.
Turn into a warrior for just a week: dive into a game of footy in the park, a basketball game, a squash game with your pal and a morning surf will be more than enough for you to include yourself in the 30% cancer
