We learnt to choose food that was good for us , and not food that wouldsupposedly help us lose weight. Ten tips for eating well without having to diet.
- Eat for pleasure and good health, not for weight loss.
- Start the day with oats and you won’t be hungary for hours.
- Eat more fish , chicken, vegetables and salads, and less red meat , pasta, pastry and potatoes.
- Use tsp for sauces or olive oil-it helps you use less.
- use yoghurt instead of cream.
- snack on fruit and nuts instead of chocolate and crisps.
- steam instead of grill, grill instead of roast , roast instead of deep- fry.
- eats carbs like pasta and potatoes for lunch instead of in the evening.
- drink better, drink fruit juices , and drink herbal teas.
- if you really want something , enjoy it without guilt, then lighten up the next day.
It is also likely that anything that helps prostate cancer is likely to help breast cancer. It is amusing that fruit intake had absolutely no influence on the risk of prostate cancer. The answer is not in the fruits, it is in the vegetables. Have you ever wondered what one "vegetable serving" is? A vegetable serving equals 1/2 cup chopped raw or cooked vegetables, or 1-cup raw, leafy vegetables.
Vegetables that Prevent and cure Cancer
Vegetable intake, particularly intake of cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower and broccoli, substantially lowers the risk of prostate cancer in men. Prostate cancer risk was not affected by fruit intake. The investigators considered total vegetable intake, and they found that men who ate 28 or more servings of vegetables per week had a 35% lower risk of prostate cancer compared with men who ate fewer than 14 servings per week. In addition, men who ate three or more servings of cruciferous vegetables per week had a 41% decreased risk of prostate cancer compared with men who ate less than one serving per week, even after the researchers accounted for total vegetable intake. Cruciferous vegetables, in particular, are high in substances called isothiocyanates, which activate enzymes that detoxify carcinogens. Vegetables evolved mechanisms to avoid being eaten, such as cytochemicals that are quite bitter and toxic. Humans evolved the ability to detoxify these cytochemicals, and the enzyme systems that we use to detoxify cytochemicals are the same enzymes that detoxify naturally occurring carcinogens.It may be that upregulation of these enzyme systems has a protective effect against cancer.
A natural compound, diindolylmethane (DIM), found in vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, turnips and mustard greens can not only prevent cancer, but may be able to cure it as well.
Researchers began the study by considering compounds that protect a person from developing cancer. The research team looked at how the compounds block cancer cell growth and found that the compounds target PPAR gamma, a protein that is highly active in fat cells. Researchers concluded that a chemically modified version of natural DIM could target the PPAR gamma and stop the growth of cancer.
Researchers have found that not only could DIM prevent cancers but it could also treat them, leading to a patent for new use of derivatives of DIM to treat cancer. Researchers knew that DIM was shown to prevent cancer and developed several more analogs. Researchers found that the treatment stopped the tumor growth in mice. However, future studies need to be conducted in humans in order to see if it is beneficial.
DIM is commercially available as a natural supplement for cancer prevention and for treating estrogen-related health issues, however researchers say their chemically altered DIM is even more potent against tumors
