Lung cancer still
remain the top killer among men and women globally. Recent discovery shows that
women double the rate in lung cancer death, because they start smoking at a
younger age compared to men. From 2008 to 2010, scientists proofs that about
85% of lung cancer is cause by smoking and about 15% is from non- smoking. Diets ,
lifestyle and environmental factors play a vital role . Methods of removing
lung cancers are CT scan, MRI, biopsy and chest x-ray . All this depend on
the various location of the cancer and its symptoms. At the early stage of lung
cancer, it can be remove through surgery as far as the tumor does not spread to
other organs of the body and there is enough lung tissue remaining for breathing after surgery. If the cancer has stay long in
the system, combination therapy can be used , like chemotherapy and Radiotherapy. Whatever kind of treatment
given to patient, pain management is the top priority in
treatment of lung cancer. This is where diets and fruits comes in ,
since it help in reducing the pains. Lung cancer diets is a complete sets of
foods that contain high anti-oxidants and vitamins like vitamin E , Omega 3 ,
vitamin C , omega 6 and vitamin D etc. Here is the breakdown of diet and fruits
that prevent lung cancer
VITAMIN C :
Vitamin c is the bedrock of any antioxidants
power that is why US government recommended to chain smokers that they should
consume 35mg of vitamin c more than the
recommended daily allowance { RDA} so
that it can offset the oxidizing effect of smoking. Lung cancer patient should
eat enough fruits and vegetables that are highly rich in vitamin c. fruits like
cabbage, collard green, orange, grapefruit, lemon, broccoli , guavas and water melon are all contain high content
of vitamin c .
RASPBERRIES:
Raspberry contain
an acidic substance known as ellagic acid. It stop the binding of carcinogen to DNA and
also strengthens all the tissues that connect to it, and further prevent cancer
cells from spreading. Ellagic acid is the major cause of apoptosis or cancer
cells death The following facts proved that ellagic acid found in
raspberry stop the growth of tumors ,
cause G- arrest and contributed immensely to the health and growth of human
being.
* The Hollings Cancer Institute at
the University of South Carolina has conducted a double blind study on a group
of 500 cervical cancer patients that had everyone excited. Nine years of study
have shown that a natural product called Ellagic acid is causing G-arrest
within 48 hours (inhibiting and stopping mitosis-cancer cell division), and
apoptosis (normal cell death) within 72 hours, for breast, pancreas,
esophageal, skin, colon and prostate cancer cells.

*European medical studies also
demonstrate that Ellagic Acid is known to lower the incidence of birth defects,
promote wound healing, reduce heart disease, and may reduce or reverse
chemically induced liver fibrosis.

*Rats that consumed 5-10 percent of
their diet as freeze-dried black raspberries and strawberries showed dramatic
reductions in the growth of precancerous cells and tumor
progression, the researchers found. And in other animal tests, Stoner told
Reuters Health, the berries reduced colon cancer growth by 80 percent. The Ohio
Department of Agriculture supported the research Stoner presented at the
meeting.
MUSHROOM:
For decades, mushrooms have been a medicinal value to man, pharmaceutical
agencies have show much interest about the medicinal value of mushroom in the last decade ever
since they discovered it. The medicinal value are as follow:
anti- tumor, anti- allergic, nephroprotective, anti-oxidant
, anti-diabetes, immunomodulatory, anti-
microbial agents and hypocholesterolemic . The mushrooms that belong to the following
families help in prevention of lung cancer: Suillus,
Clitocybe, Antrodia, Agaricus, Trametes, Genus Phellinus,
Pleurotus, Ganoderma, calvatia, flammulina,
fulia, inonotus, inocybe, lactarius fomes, russula and xerocomus etc.
The above mention anti cancer compounds performed different
function in the war against cancer, from apoptosis angiogenesis inhibitor, oxygen
species inducer, and cancer proliferation.
CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES:
Cruciferous veggies help in prevention of cancer in
general. research conducted by National Cancer Institute shows that cruciferous
veggies has the ability to kill cancer because of the glucocinolates that are
in them - a sulphuric compounds. Glucocinolates take place during chewing and
digestion process and split into biological compounds, that prevent cancer cell
growth, chemically known as isothiocyanates, indoles and thiocyanates.
Glucocnolates empower the liver to bring forth detoxifying enzymes that
barricade free - radical attack on DNA.
Other importance of glucocinolates are:
* It help in the prevention of tumor formation and
metastasis.
* It made up of antibacterial and antiviral properties.
* It reprogram cancer cells to die off.
*Glucocinolates are anti-inflammatory.
* Is an inactive carcinogens.
Glucocinolates are richly found in the following
cruciferous vegetables:
*Cabbage, broccoli, watercress, collard green, kale, Brussel
sprout, mustard green, arugula, turnip, cauliflower, bok Choy and radish.
