FRUITS-FOR AVOIDING CANCER

AVOCADOS

This Fruits is rich in glutathione; a powerful antioxidant attacks free radicals in the body by blocking intestinal absorption of certain fats. They supply more potassium than bananas and are a strong source of beta-carotene.Avocados may also be useful in treating viral hepatitis (a cause of liver cancer), as well as other sources of liver damage.

 
FIGS

These fruits contains derivative of benzaldehyde that are highly effective at shrinking tumors. Figs, which contain vitamins A and C, and calcium, magnesium and potassium, may curtail appetite and improve weight-loss efforts. Fig juice is also a potent bacteria killer in test-tube studies.

GRAPEFRUITS

It contains monoterpenes, believed to help prevent cancer by sweeping carcinogens out of the body. Some studies show that grapefruit may inhibit the proliferation of breast-cancer cells in vitro. They also contain vitamin C, beta-carotene, and folic acid. It also contains bioflavonoid, powerful antioxidants that work as cancer preventives. Grapefruit are also a rich source of resveratrol, which inhibits the enzymes that can stimulate cancer-cell growth and suppress immune response. They also contain ellagic acid, a compound that blocks enzymes that are necessary for cancer cells - this appears to help slow the growth of tumors.

LEMON
 
Lemon contain Limonene stimulates cancer-killing immune cells (lymphocytes, e.g.) that also helps in break down of cancer-causing substances.



PAPAYAS

Papaya has vitamin C as an antioxidant and may also reduce absorption of cancer-causing nitrosamines from processed foods. Papaya contains folacin (also known as folic acid), which has been shown to minimize cervical dysplasia and certain cancers. 

RASPBERRIES

Raspberries contain many vitamins, minerals, plant compounds and antioxidants known as anthocyanins that may protect against cancer. A diet containing 5% black raspberries was more effective as black raspberries may also thwart colon cancer. These are rich in antioxidants, thought to have even more cancer-preventing properties than blueberries and strawberries.

TOMATOES

It contains lycopene, an antioxidant that attacks roaming oxygen molecules, known as free radicals that are suspected of triggering cancer. It appears that the hotter the weather, the more lycopene tomatoes produce. They also have vitamin C, an antioxidant which can prevent cellular damage that leads to cancer. It is concentrated by cooking tomatoes. lycopene can kill mouth cancer cells. An increased intake of lycopene has already been linked to a reduced risk of breast, prostate, pancreas and colorectal cancer.
