Known as the use of certain kinds of vegetables and fruits in the treatment of diseases throughout history, where he was believed to have played a role in addressing these and prevention of diseases, from headache and the end of the arteries and heart disease. In modern medicine, these items were used in many prescription medicines. With the development of science, research and development related to cancer, it was found that 70% of cases of various types of cancer are attributable mainly to the food, which dealt with rights in their daily lives and has developed many of the scientific hypothesis, which aims to find a relationship between the address and the emergence of some food types of cancer, for example on the relationship between the intake of foods rich in fat and breast cancer, colon, and the relationship between excessive alcohol consumption and cancer, which affects both the respiratory and digestive system, liver and breast cancer and, finally, between the consumption of fiber, little food and colon cancer. Perhaps one of the strongest assumptions that have been developed to find the relationship between food and cancer is the hypothesis of a daily consumption of vegetables, fresh fruit, a hypothesis that has received the largest amount of research and scientific support, and studies have shown the results of a clear and concrete, more than any other hypothesis. Through this article I will try to highlight some aspects of this relationship, highlighting the importance of these foods in the prevention of cancer.
The researchers in the field of cancer, a number of scientific studies and a total of up to six hundred and epidemiological survey and study on human beings and the twenty-two scientific study on animals, and most of these studies showed the presence of the direct inverse relationship between consumption of vegetables and fruits, the incidence of cancer in different body sites, so that it has become such a relationship established scientific fact, especially in cancers that affect both the stomach, esophagus, lung, oral cavity and pharynx, the lining of the uterus, pancreas and colon.
The following is a review of the main types of cancer prevention, which is linked to an increase in consumption of vegetables and fruits:
1 - stomach cancer: comparison of all the studies showed that the consumption of fresh vegetables and paper frequently is directly linked to the prevention of gastric cancer (the most common type in the world), and to a lesser extent, it was found that eating citrus fruits and Alzenbkiet (garlic, onion, leek) help reduce of cancer.
2 - colon cancer: Most studies have shown that in general, vegetables (fresh and fresh and paper) to help reduce the injury of colon cancer, as it speeds up the amount to the passage of food waste through the intestine and reduce the pressure on the waste generated by such large intestine walls This, in turn, reduces the opportunity to be pockets of the intestine (which is what is known as the bowel disease Alrdbe) and also reduces the chance of colorectal cancer.
3 - cancer of the esophagus: scientific studies have shown that all the vegetables used in general, and paper and tomatoes in particular, in addition to citrus, that regular consumption of these foods help to prevent cancer in this region of the body, and showed that the platoon Alzenbakip vegetables do not have any role to prevent this type of cancer Menen.
4 - Lung cancer: Lung cancer is one of the most types of cancer causing death in the United States in both men and women, has shown the results of studies carried out there to deal with leafy green vegetables and tomatoes, in particular, are clearly limits the opportunities for exposure to this type of cancer, It also showed that the islands will help - but to a lesser degree - to reduce the infection.
Perhaps one of the most important reasons why it is this relationship that smokers often (they make up the majority of people living with lung cancer) are less of these items of food from others, because of the weakness of appetite and lack of motivation of eating, may be attributed to the role of reason as well as to discourage smoking or the effect of slowing down the anti-cancer factors, which are available in such food.
5 - cancer of the esophagus and oral cavity and pharynx: The leafy green vegetables and citrus fruits is one of the most important plant foods to prevent the incidence of these types of cancer, and studies have shown that the islands play a role no less important than the above-mentioned food, but the role of his role than any other type of vegetables and fruits in the prevention of this cancer.
6 - colon cancer: is a family of plants such as Venus crusade, cabbage and radish and rapeseed and mustard gas, one of the most important vegetables to prevent infection from this type of cancer, also contribute to acid fruits and islands to reduce the chances of the disease, which is ranked second after the plants in the crusade to reduce the platoon and prevention.
7 - Breast cancer: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States and the second largest cause of death among cancers. Studies indicate that there is a clear inverse relationship between consumption of green leafy vegetables, carrots, fruits, and cases of this type of cancer.
8 - cancer of the pancreas: the majority of the studies conducted on patients with pancreatic cancer that vegetables and fruits contribute significantly to the reduction of cases of this type of cancer.
9 - prostate cancer: is this type of cancer among the exception of the cancers that have a relationship to deal with vegetables and fruits, which showed all the scientific studies on this matter that the consumption of vegetables and fruits did not have any role in limiting the development of this disease.
The review of these results indicated to us that the fresh vegetables and paper, including, in particular, is one of the most influential food plant Shield of different types of cancer, infection, showed 85% of the studies conducted in this area (the 194 study) that it has a direct impact on the prevention of cancer in different body sites. The platoon Alzenbakip plants in the second and third largest islands in the crusade Venbataat platoon Fourthly and lastly, especially citrus fruits and in fifth place.
But how can the fruits and vegetables to reduce the incidence of cancer? Does it mean the daily and systematic handling of fresh fruits and vegetables to prevent the development of cancer and an absolute?? The answer is that the vegetables and fruits do not completely prevent the emergence and development of these diseases, but, in fact, reduce the chance of infection by half or a little more, and this role is an important and vital role even stop at this point. The comes to mind another question: how the fruits and vegetables to prevent cancer? What are the components that help to do this role?.
The answer is that the protective effect of fruits and vegetables is mainly due to the containment of a group of chemical compounds which are available in quantities sufficient to reduce the development and growth of cancer cells, where the advantage of each of the varieties of fruits and vegetables contain certain compounds given the ability to prevent cancer, and examples:
Plants platoon Crusader: The advantage of incorporating large quantities of vehicles and called Aldaeciol Tionat Aloithotiossianat, a sulfurous organic compounds to increase the effectiveness of enzymes crashed to carcinogens and vehicles coming to the alien body, also includes vehicles Andul 3 - Carbonell, which affect the metabolism of estrogen metabolism and in humans, so that the resulting production of vehicles to protect from injury estrogen-related cancers such as breast cancer and endometriosis in women.
Plants Alzenbakip platoon: the advantage of incorporating compounds such as sulfuric Aldaiolel Alolel methyl sulfide and Treisselvaid, a vehicle to increase the effectiveness and the revitalization of the enzymes shattered poisons and carcinogens, and have an adverse impact of the types of bacteria that help to produce carcinogens, through the prevention of bacterial conversion of nitrate to Netrit in the stomach and thus reduce the amount of nitrite necessary to interact with the secondary amino compounds necessary for the production of vehicles Alnitrozzo secretaries, it is thought to have particular impact on the cancerous stomach.
Citrus: The citrus fruits contain large quantities of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which protects the walls of cells and genetic material from harmful oxidation processes, in view of the nature of the acid, which qualifies it to work bar-oxidants. It also believes that the vitamin “C” role in the prevention of cancer through its ability to link and to reduce the nitrite and thus reduce the chance of O secretaries as well as carcinogens, the citrus fruits contain compounds Allimonin and coumarin, which is working to revitalize the enzymes Algelotatheon Transferiz wrecked vehicles carcinogens.
Leafy green vegetables: Alliotin containing compounds, which act Kmanap vehicles Korotinip-oxidants and it has the ability to link the free radicals that cause cancer in the cultures, and leafy green vegetables are rich sources of folic acid, a vitamin essential for the manufacture of nucleic acids and the genetic material of the cell, where the lack of this acid to break the chromosomes at sites that are believed to be the place for the culture of cancer.
Yellow fruits and vegetables: such as carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkins, mangoes, papayas, melons, which contain ample quantities of a substance beta - carotene Kamadadat working-oxidants and protect the cells from the adverse impact caused by free radicals, of how beta - carotene to vitamin turned into “a “gained the ability to limit further growth of the cancer, because of the vitamin” A “role in the operations division and differentiation of cells Tlaiip (Alabthelep), that the disorder is characterized by cancer cells in these divisions and misalignment. In addition, the yellow vegetables containing large quantities of alpha - carotene, which play a role similar to the beta - carotene, but less efficiently. Not only the impact of vegetables and fruits on the anti-cancer control of the vehicles mentioned above, but that there is a group of chemical compounds and elements of this counter-effect , which is distributed to various kinds of vegetables and fruits without the type and only one of them, for example:
Selenium: a metallic element essential for the body needs very small quantities (100 micrograms / day), and is in vegetables and fruit in small quantities (less than 0,1 micrograms / g), and vary the content of plant foods in general this component depending on the content of the soil from it. And highlights the importance of selenium in the prevention of cancer through the role played by the facilities of the enzyme “Gelotatheon Berrocsidaz,” which is one of the means of defense to protect the body wall of living cells, the effect of oxidizing free radicals, one of the most important causes of cancer growth, and because the anti-cancer effect to the capacity of the element to influence the metabolism of carcinogens and thus to prevent the aggravation of the threat. The collaborative nature of the relationship between selenium and vitamin “e” (Altokoverol) contribute to the clarification and interpretation of the vital influence of Selenium, acting vitamin “e” on the protection of fatty acids found in many Allchaabaa the cell walls of living of oxidation, is also believed that the Tokovirollat role in reducing Alnitrozzoominac of the vehicles that cause stomach cancer.
Filawoonoeidat: the phenols and many vehicles to prevent the oxidation of living cells, which are available in good quantities of vegetables and fruits, especially tea and working papers of the vehicles to the expulsion of carcinogens from the cells and thus to break the protection of these cells, the risk of cancer.
Dietary fiber: The vegetables and fruits, legumes of the most important sources of dietary fiber, which is believed to have played an important role in the prevention of colon cancer, dietary fiber, working to increase the size and accelerate the passage of stool food waste from the bowel and reduce the period of stay and thus reduce the chance of interaction between carcinogens Tlaiip cells lining the intestinal walls. It is believed that these fibers as well as articles related to carcinogens and acid yellow and facilitate raised outside the body as well as that of some of the dietary fiber of fermentation in the colon by certain types of bacteria so Ahmada productive short-chain fatty acid such as Alpiotrik, which is believed to have anti-cancer effect by increasing the acidity colon and thus reduce the chances of some carcinogenic substances. “The importance of vegetables and fruit does not stem from just being a factor to help prevent the incidence of cancer, but that there is a set of scientifically proven health benefits and rights that accrue from having such food. Valoliav food in the fruit and vegetables help regulate blood sugar in patients with diabetes, and help to reduce high blood cholesterol and prevent intestinal disease Alrdbe, and that the articles of anti-oxidants contained in vegetables and fruits, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, Alkorotinat and others, helps to organize and the prevention of high blood pressure and the organization of work of the heart muscle, thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Finally, the low content of fat and energy in the fruit and vegetables help reduce the risk of obesity and help people living on mitigation.
In spite of all the health benefits that accrue to address the rights of vegetables and fruits, but that too is addressed in the source of many of the problems such as lack of dietary protein and energy and the lack of some mineral elements such as iron, as it must be prudent and cautious approach to avoid some of the injured and health problems that may have to be dealt with, so that eating fruits and vegetables is one of the most important means of agricultural pesticide poisoning, and two-thirds of which is believed to contain toxic and carcinogenic, which requires the consumer to ensure the well-washed before eating. Among the problems that may result from the use of health of vegetables and fruit poisoning Baloflatkowsinat, as it produces deadly toxins by microorganisms on some crops, which produce these toxins in the absence of health conditions of storage and sound.
The vegetables Almakhllp one of the sources of danger, as proved scientifically that the increase in consumption associated with an increased risk of cancer, unlike in the case of vegetables and fresh fruit. Finally, we put some of your advice and guidance to help deal with this increase in healthy food to help in the prevention of cancer:
Diversification of vegetables and fruits in your food covered by the daily.
Work to double the quota intake of vegetables and fruit.
Dealing with vegetables and fruits Kojbat light between the main meals.
Drink fruit juice or fresh vegetables instead of other beverages.
Use the power Ekhaloy fruit instead of sweets.
More than one address and vegetable meals, without too much at the expense of animal food.
Address baked pastries and fruit, which contain, such as apricot or apple dumplings or bananas. Note: In this article, adopted on the basis of scientific article published in the Journal of Nutrition Society of America (conduct)
