Nature-cure: negating the risk of cancer

Cancer is one of the most dreaded diseases that has been plaguing mankind since centuries. Earlier, it was considered to be 100% fatal as there was no known cure for it. Besides, lack of medical expertise and facilities made it completely incurable. Although the situation today is far more different and cancer cure and treatment is available, the cost of treatment is still a big worry today. Apart from the emotional and physical trauma, the financial loss is overwhelming and often the future of the families is put at stake for bearing the expenses. Moreover, the treatment methods like chemotherapy or radiation therapy are usually toxic and take a heavy toll on the patient’s body and overall well being.

Decades of research and insight into the natural cure, however, has come to the rescue of the masses. Ancient Ayurvedic knowledge and natural cures from a variety of parallel schools of thought lay stress on the fact that adopting a natural lifestyle and maintaining healthy habits can go a long way in prevention of this malady. Some important tips for prevention of cancer naturally are listed below:

1. Eating a ketogenic diet:

   A ketogenic diet is naturally low in carbohydrates and is rich in essential fats. Such a diet allows the burning of stored fats without burdening the mitochondria (powerhouse of a cell). Ketogenic diet includes seafood, especially fish meat rich in Omega-3, eggs, organic poultry, fruits like coconut, avocado and apple, and olive oil etc. Such a diet rids the body of unwanted fat and regulates the metabolism for elimination of toxic agents from the body.

2. Consuming fresh fruit/vegetable juice: 

   Juicing mineral/nutrient-rich foods inundates the body with essential and powerful antioxidants and helps in elimination of toxins and free radicals that can cause cell inflammation and mutation. This leads to an enhanced immunity against tumors and cell damages and enhances overall health. Juicing and consuming cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, kale and broccoli and sprouts goes a long way in ensuring prevention of cancer.

3. Vitamin D:

   Vitamin D is very essential for the healthy functioning of central nervous system (CNS). Besides, vitamin D also promotes the production of GcMAF protein that directly regulates cancer cells. Although the prime source of vitamin D is sunlight, organic supplements can also be taken in order to boost the supply of vitamin D to the body.

4. Turmeric:

   Turmeric has been known to mankind for centuries and is used for its antibiotic and anti-inflammation properties. Regularly consuming this “king of spices” ensures reduced cell-inflammation and increases resistance to cancer cells.

5. Detoxification of the body:

   Overall detoxification of the body is essential and helps in prevention of cancer. The natural ways of detoxifying body include: regular exercising, avoiding unhealthy habits, consuming lemon water (it regulates the pH of the body), taking periodic saunas (coffee sauna and infra red sauna), practicing Yoga and breathing exercises and stress free lifestyle options.
