Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells.
The most common risk factors for cancer include aging, tobacco, sun exposure, radiation exposure, chemicals, other substances, viruses and bacteria, certain hormones, family history of cancer, alcohol, poor diet, lack of physical activity, or being overweight.
A comprehensive review of thousands of studies on diet, physical activity, and weight conducted for the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research pointed to the benefits of eating mostly foods of plant origin.
Foods such as broccoli, berries, and garlic showed some of the strongest links to cancer prevention. These superfoods prevent cancer from the body:
1. Garlic
The same sulfur compounds causing garlic odour may also stop cancer-causing substances from forming in your body, speed DNA repair, and kill cancer cells. Garlic battles bacteria, including H. pylori (the one connected to some ulcers and stomach cancer), and research suggests it reduces the risk of developing stomach, colon, esophageal, pancreatic and breast cancer.
The World Health Organization recommends that adults consume approximately one clove of garlic daily to promote good health.
2. Broccoli
Broccoli and its cousins are most protective against cancers of the prostate, lung, colon, breast, bladder, liver, neck, head, mouth, esophagus and stomach, according to a review of hundreds of clinical studies conducted for the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research.
3. Tomatoes
