According to the American Cancer Society, cancer remains the leading cause of mortality in the United States, representing 25% of all cancer-related fatalities. - type: "paragraph" text: >- A nutritious diet rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains can significantly diminish one’s risk of developing cancer. Research indicates that increasing consumption of beneficial foods, while reducing harmful ones, can lower the risk of cancer by as much as 30%. - type: "paragraph" text: >- Furthermore, diet plays a crucial role in the battle against cancer. Certain compounds present in foods can both prevent and combat cancer at the cellular level.

Watermelon and pink grapefruit are high in a phytonutrient called lycopene. - type: "paragraph" text: >- Watermelon contains about 40% more lycopene than fresh tomatoes – the vegetable most people probably think of when they think of lycopene. - type: "paragraph" text: >- When processed into a sauce. Juice or ketchup, however, yields more usable lycopene. Interestingly, a recent study found that organic ketchup has up to three times more lycopene than ordinary kinds. - type: "paragraph" text: >- Probably because organic ketchup is made with riper tomatoes than other types of ketchup, the darker the red, the greater its lycopene content. actions: [] - section: title: "The Power of Antioxidants" description: "Antioxidants such as beta-carotene and vitamin C help defend against free radicals and cancer." elements: - type: "paragraph" text: >- Your body is under attack from free radicals, harmful molecules that have lost an electron.

Two particularly powerful and best studied are beta-carotene and vitamin C. - type: "paragraph" text: >- Beta-carotene is the pigment that gives many fruits and vegetables their lush, deep orange-to-red hues. However, it’s more than nature’s palette. - type: "paragraph" text: >- Beta-carotene has been shown to stimulate the release of natural killer cells, which hunt down and destroy cancer cells before they can cause damage. - type: "heading" level: 3 text: "You don’t need much beta-carotene to get the benefits." - type: "paragraph" text: >- Research recommends getting 15 to 30 mg/day; the amount provided by one or two large carrots is probably all it takes. Cantaloupes, sweet potatoes, spinach, and Pop-Choy are all excellent choices for beta-carotene. - type: "paragraph" text: >- Another antioxidant, vitamin C, has been shown to help prevent the formation of cancer-causing compounds in the digestive tract. The Daily Value for vitamin C is 60 mg, which is easily met from foods. - type: "paragraph" text: >- Beans as a cancer fighter.

As it turned out, fiber does more than anyone ever imagined. - type: "paragraph" text: >- Consuming a high-fiber diet is essential for reducing the risk of certain types of cancer, particularly colon cancer. Fiber works against cancer in several ways. - type: "paragraph" text: >- Since fiber is absorbent, it soaks up water as it moves through the digestive tract. This makes stools larger. The more quickly stools move, the less time there is for any harmful substances they contain to damage the cells lining the intestine. Also, fiber helps trap cancer-causing substances in the colon. - type: "link" label: "fiber helps trap cancer-causing substances in the colon" url: "https://www.watchurdiet.com/lung-cancer-new-study-suggests-proton-therapy-lowering-heart-disease/" context: "Related article on lung cancer and proton therapy" - type: "paragraph" text: >- If you pick the right foods, Beans and certain vegetables are the best sources of fiber. - type: "paragraph" text: >- A half-cup of kidney beans contains 7 grams of fiber, and the same amount of chickpeas contains 5 grams.

More than 100,000 people were struck down, and worst of all, nobody knew what triggered it. - type: "paragraph" text: >- It wasn’t until 1937 that scientists understood pellagra (meaning rough skin). It was because when people didn’t get enough niacin, a B vitamin, in their diet, especially in the rural South. People relied on corn as their main grain, which contains a form of niacin that the body can’t use. - type: "paragraph" text: >- Today, we’ve all but kissed pellagra goodbye in the USA, thanks to the fortification of flours and cereals. This makes it very easy to get the DV of 20 milligrams of niacin. - type: "heading" level: 3 text: "Pellagra." - type: "paragraph" text: >- However, pellagra is still common in parts of the world where people have a lot of corn in their diets.
