The Facts: Fruits offer nutritional gains to the human body in the form of substances such as Vitamin C, phenols, fiber, folic acid, and antioxidants. There is plenty of evidence showing the anti-cancer properties of certain compounds in fruits.
Reflect On: How much fruit do you eat? How healthy is your diet? Real cancer prevention starts with you, it’s more effective than donating money.

[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
Specifically, fruits such as pineapple, apple, avocado, lemon, banana, grapes, and tomato have been found to be the most effective in preventing and eliminating cancer cells.
Cancer Fighting Foods
Many studies have supported the immense benefits of fruits against cancer. A review of 206 studies has concluded that a higher vegetable and fruit intake is associated with lower risks of cancer in the lungs, colon, stomach, pancreas, and oral cavity.
A study conducted in California found that recurrence of cancer in women was reduced by half with the consumption of large amounts of vegetables and fruits in conjunction with regular exercise.
Researchers from Ohio State University also found that high intake of fruits caused retardation in the proliferation of cancer cells, which means that fruits can also slow down the rate at which cancer cells multiply.
Pineapples
The Bromelain enzyme found in pineapples, for instance, is capable of breaking up the protective layer in tumors. It is found in the stem and fruit of pineapples. It can also promote DNA repair and normal growth of cells. Hence, apart from its cancer-killing properties, it makes normal cells healthier and stronger.
Apples
Procyanidins, found in apples, can induce apoptosis, or natural death, in cancer cells. Apple peel also contains compounds called triterpenoids that are highly effective in stopping the growth of cancer cells, especially those diagnosed with:[/font][/size]

Liver
Colon
Breast cancer.

[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
This is primarily why it is highly advised to eat the skin of apples after they are washed thoroughly.
Grapes
Clinical cancer research has also shown evidence that grape seed extract can kill three-fourths of leukemia cells by triggering a protein called JNK, which encourages apoptosis in cancer cells. The antioxidant Resveratrol, found in grape seeds, can also influence natural death of cancer cells in the:[/font][/size]

Lungs
Bowel
Skin
Breast
Stomach
Prostate.

[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
Grape seed extract and Resveratrol, in fact, have been incorporated in many health supplements because of their therapeutic properties.
Bananas
Some compounds in bananas have been found to be effective in preventing further production of leukemia and liver cancer cells. High consumption of bananas was also linked to a decrease in the risk of:[/font][/size]

Colorectal cancer
Brain cancer
Leukemia
Esophageal cancer
Oral cancer.

[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
They are also rich in potassium, which is good for the muscles and heart.
Citrus Fruit
Citrus fruits are an excellent source of Vitamin C. They also provide significant amounts of folate, dietary fiber, potassium, and beta-carotene. Citrus fruits are most beneficial in the following cancers:[/font][/size]

Stomach cancers
Mouth cancers
Larynx cancers
Pharynx cancers

[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
Studies have shown that citrus fruits are advantageous for heart disease, arthritis, and gallstones. There are several studies showing that Lemon has the property to fight cancer; lemon in general contains vitamin C, which is already a cancer-fighting agent, while lemon extract affects only the malignant cells, leaving the healthy cells unharmed.
Berries
The sweet berries are potent anti-cancer compounds. According to research on mice, BLACK RASPBERRIES showed reductions in:[/font][/size]

Oral cancer
Esophageal cancer
Colon cancer

[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
The berries inhibited the whole spectrum of tumors from being promoted and initiated. The berries contain ellagic acid which inhibits the tumor genesis.
BLUEBERRIES are one of the strongest sources of antioxidants. They also contain cancer-fighting substances called phytochemicals, and are rich in potent antioxidants (anthocyanosides) and resveratrol.
STRAWBERRIES are also a high source of antioxidants, folic acids, and vitamin C. They have shown to decrease the risk of esophageal cancer. One cup of strawberries provides 100% of the daily recommendation of vitamin C.
Pomegranate
Pomegranate is rich in tannins and flavonoids, both antioxidants which have drawn attention for their healing properties. Preliminary research suggests pomegranate extract can help prevent the growth of:[/font][/size]

Breast cancer
Prostate cancer
Colon cancer
Lung cancer

[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
Kiwi
Kiwi is well-known for its high vitamin C content, boasting even more than oranges. It is also a powerful antioxidant, as Vitamin C prevents free radical damage. Kiwi consists of flavonoids and carotenoids that protect DNA from the damage or oxidative stress that is cancer. Being packed with vitamins, kiwi is a strong immune booster. It proves its effectiveness in healing different cancers like:[/font][/size]

Liver cancer
Stomach cancer
Breast cancer
Lung cancer

[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
Kiwi extracts inhibit cancer cell proliferation, and its active photochemical, catechin, helps in the prevention of cancer and reduces the toxicity of anti-cancer agents.
Soursop
The tree is called Graviola in Brazil. Soursop contains prickly green fruit that happens to kill cancer 10,000 times more than chemotherapy drugs — without harmful side effects to healthy cells. Extracts of the tree selectively kill the malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including:[/font][/size]

Colon cancer
Lung cancer
Prostate cancer
Breast cancer
Pancreatic cancer

[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
Dietitians recommend eating fresh fruits to obtain a higher amount of anti-cancer compounds. A cancer fighting diet would ideally contain two thirds fruits and vegetables.

The Chemistry Of Stress And How It Affects Your Health
Posted: 10 Feb 2020 08:53 AM PST
Dr. Fahad Basheer

The Facts: Stress can have unhealthy biological consequences.
Reflect On: Why are we not taught as youngsters to deal with and handle stress, and other emotions?

[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
During my general practice, I often encounter many cases that stem from stress. Gastritis is one of the common clinical presentations that come in O.P. A thorough evaluation of the patient’s day will clearly explain why he developed gastritis (stress), and most patients have no problem admitting that they had a stressful day. And so, quite often, I am treating a psychological problem which was manifested as a physical one.
In an interesting study conducted in prisoners of the World War II, it was found that the risk of developing peptic ulcer was twice higher than that of the controls. There are several other issues, like stress induced hypertension, diabetes, bronchial asthma, infections, etc., which come to an O.P. This might make one wonder why stress can cause so many clinical disorders. I will explain why this happens in this article.
In our daily life we often undergo stressful situations. There is no avoiding them. The stress that one experiences is nothing but the response of the body to its outer environment and the mind to its inner fears. These inner fears may be the result of anything, from an examination, one’s family, a job or responsibility, or an encounter with a person or situation one dislikes, etc. (1)
Do you know what exactly happens to the body when we are stressed?
Imagine that you have met with an accident. What happens next? The adrenal gland, which is located just above the kidneys, responds to the accident by releasing an emergency hormone known as adrenaline into the bloodstream. This hormone helps in combating daily life stress by changing the body physiology. The adrenaline decreases the flow of blood to the gut and shunts the blood to the body muscles to tackle the tough situation the body is faced with. This gives your muscles more energy to combat the accident. The adrenaline produced at that time shuts down the functioning of the immune system and gut by decreasing their blood supply. This is known as the flight or fight response. This natural response is one of the greatest gifts the human body has for combating external threats that we often encounter in our daily life. This response gives us more power and energy to survive any external threats (like accidents, being chased by wild animals, etc.). (1)
This was also the case for our ancient ancestors. One flight-fight response would save their life from wild animals. This response is present in every animal to combat their enemies and to save their life from predators. Once the external threat vanishes, the flight-fight response subsides and the body restores its normal functioning. (1)
But this begs the question, why does modern man face this much stress in the absence of predators?
Normally, when an external threat is removed, adrenaline production halts and the body will restore its normal functioning. But when we are stressed and the threat is internal (negative thoughts and negative emotions), the production of adrenaline is constant. This will cause deleterious and harmful effects to the body unless the internal threat — “the stress” — is managed. In this situation, “stress” the hormone causes more harm than good. (1)
Do you know why and how exactly negative thoughts impact the body?
The latest research reveals that this adrenaline is not only produced while combating an accident, threat, or disaster, but also when we are stressed more generally. Stress is indeed the disease of modern man. It follows him wherever he goes, and research shows that “the adrenaline is even produced in the body when a person undergoes a negative thought in his mind, or even when he feels negative emotions” and “the adrenaline is produced the same moment he experience negative thoughts and negative emotion.” The fact is that “there is no time lag between production of adrenaline and negative thoughts that pass through his mind or the negative emotions he feels within.” (1)
So how badly will this adrenaline affect our body? Adrenaline causes the following:
(1) Increased blood sugar: Adrenaline increases glucose production from liver to blood and decreases the production of insulin, thereby raising blood sugar. This predisposes someone to diabetes mellitus. (1)
(2) Increased blood pressure: Adrenaline increases blood pressure by constricting arterioles and veins, thereby raising blood pressure. This predisposes someone to hypertension. (1)
(3) Increased risk of cardiac diseases: Adrenaline increases the rate, force, and contraction of heart muscles and causes arrhythmias. Concurrent stimulation of the heart due to stress can place an increased workload on the heart, leading to increased chances of getting a heart attack. Women have a premenopausal estrogen that protects them from stress related heart disease. (1)
(4) Obesity: Adrenaline can move fat from storage depots and relocate it to fat cell deposits in the abdomen. This causes an increase in body mass index and generates obesity. Obesity is one of the risk factors for developing diabetes and coronary artery disease. (1)
(5) Indigestion and chronic constipation: Adrenaline decreases blood supply to the gut, decreases peristalsis of the bowel, and increases sphincter tone by acting on its receptors. This leads to indigestion and chronic constipation. (1)
(6) Increases susceptibility to bacterial, fungal, and viral infections: Adrenaline suppresses the functioning of immune cells required to combat infectious diseases and thereby increases a person’s susceptibility to bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. Higher stress levels increase our susceptibility to H.pylori infections in the stomach and common gastritis. Chronic stress can increase the chances for Urinary tract infections in females. (1,2)
(7) Increases muscle tension: Adrenaline increases blood flow to muscles and causes increased muscle tension. This leads to tension headaches that we often experience at the end of our working days. The tight muscles can cause headache, shoulder pain, backache, and body pain. Chronic stress induced muscle tension can later predispose us to fibromyalgia, etc. (2)
(8) Decreased interest in sex: Adrenaline decreases the testosterone produced in men and estrogen in women, both needed for sɛҳuąƖ arousal. Chronic stress can cause decreased sperm production and erectile dysfunction or impotence. (2)
(9) Altered menstrual cycle: Chronic stress can cause irregular or no menstruation. Sometimes it can cause heavy or painful bleeding. (2)
(10) Creates psychic disorders: Chronic stress is one of the fundamental causes for conditions like overeating, under-eating, and alcohol and drug abuse. (1, 2)
So what exactly is the solution for attaining health?
The answer is simple, but tough to achieve. Wipe away our daily life stress!
You might be wondering how we can avoid something which seems so ingrained into modern life. The first step is to bring uncontrolled thoughts and emotions into our control.
To do that, we can use a variety of techniques. NLP psychotherapeutics, mindfulness, and meditation are all wonderful tools we can use to achieve mastery over our thoughts and emotions.
