One of the simplest yet most effective ways to prevent cancer is to enrich your body with cancer-fighting foods. By consuming a diet that is free of highly processed foods that are laden with sugar and unhealthy fats, you give your body a fighting chance at preventing all sorts of diseases, including cancer.
When we eat certain foods, we often miss out on the full nutritional value. To get the most out of the vegetables you eat, its best to juice them to enjoy the highest amount of vitamins and nutrients possible. Juicing for cancer is just one of many ways that what you eat can impact your health and well-being.
Keep reading to learn about the benefits of juicing and how it may be beneficial in preventing cancer.
Juicing During Cancer Treatment
Cancer treatment takes a toll on the body. Many cancer patients who are undergoing treatment don’t die from tumors; instead, their body fails because of toxemia, malnutrition, and/or opportunistic infections. To address these problems, patients should eat a diet that offers good nutrition, to include plenty of vitamins and minerals. By making favorable nutritional choices and eating plenty of cancer-fighting foods, patients can reduce their risk of cancer becoming fatal.
Juicing is also beneficial in that it:
- Optimizes the positive effects of traditional cancer treatment
- Makes treatments more selectively toxic to just cancer cells
- Stimulates immune response
- Promotes new healthy cell growth
- Inhibits growth of new blood vessels in tumors
Obviously, for patients undergoing traditional cancer treatments like radiation and chemotherapy, juicing can be very advantageous and keep the body healthy and make treatment more effective.
Juicing to Prevent Cancer
Not only has juicing proven to be very helpful for patients who are undergoing cancer treatment, but juicing has also been shown to be a great way to prevent cancer. Juicing provides the body with all sorts of cancer-fighting elements, including minerals, enzymes, phytonutrients, antioxidants, carotenoids, and many more! All of these elements help cleanse the liver, enhance immune function, and neutralize cancer-causing free radicals.
Which vegetables are the best cancer-fighting foods? There are all sorts of vegetables that offer a large number of nutrients, including beets, spinach, carrots, cucumber, celery, broccoli, and red cabbage. Certain fruits are also worth juicing, including apples, cranberries, and acai berries.
