Fish oil, a food rich omega-3 has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
Why is it important fish oil?
As with other fats, our body requires a significant amount to survive. Fish oils, are involved in the process by which water, oxygen and nutrients are transported to every one of our 100 trillion cells and how carbon dioxide, waste and toxins are moving out of the cells.
The studies were presented at the conference “Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research” (”Frontiers in research into the prevention of cancer”) of the American Association for Cancer Research, determined that pistachios may help reduce cancer risk lung, thanks to vitamin E that contains pistachio.
The study claims that a handful of pistachios a day can help reduce the risk of lung cancer.

Fruits and vegetables of all kinds can rescue her from the ravages of lung cancer but the best are those rich in beta carotene, an orange pigment in carrots isolated 150 years ago.
Beta carotene is concentrated in orange vegetables and green (the green chlorophyll hides the yellow), and the darker the color, the higher the beta carotene. I recommend reading the article (lung cancer and deficiency of vegetables)
This substance, which counteracts the lung cáncer has been described as the morning after pill because it cancels cancer in animals fed a potent carcinogen.
In humans, the probability of getting lung cancer is reduced by 40% to 70% in regular consumers of beta-carotene, as indicated by almost all epidemiological studies conducted over the past ten years.
A typical study is that of the State University of New York at Buffalo. He showed that eating vegetables rich in beta carotene more than once a week, significantly decreased the risk of cancer, when compared with the risk of people who did not eat these plants.
Foods to prevent lung cancer: any green leafy vegetables, the darker the better, any fruit or vegetable orange, the more intense the color, better, carrots, broccoli, spinach, cabbage, dark green lettuce, cabbage kale, Brussels sprouts, pumpkin, sweet potato, green tea, beans, low fat milk.
Foods that may prolong survival: All vegetables, especially broccoli and tomato.
Do not hesitate a moment, if you are a smoker or former smoker if he lives or shares space with smokers or have any reason to believe that it is vulnerable to lung cancer, treat yourself to eat fruits and vegetables every day, especially carrots, broccoli and other green leafy vegetables.
Surprisingly, an additional carrot a day, half cup of orange vegetables and dark green, a piece of fruit or fruit juice all or more than once a week, could be the difference between getting and not get lung cancer .
Indeed, this small amount appears to reduce by half or more the chance of contracting the disease.
It also appears that eating vegetables after he produces helps fight cancer by reducing the rate of proliferation and prolonging life.
Just recently the University of California brought us good news about the broccoli, a vegetable that makes a little more time proved to be good for the heart. The fact is that broccoli helps prevent respiratory diseases, and today we have similar stories.
This time the news comes from the John Hopkins School of Medicine, where a group of researchers conducted a study that relates to the broccoli to the prevention of lung cancer published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
Studying the lungs of 39 patients, researchers found that lung cancer can be prevented by adding broccoli to your diet, which helps protect NFR2 gene activity, which produces a protein that regulates many of the processes that allow us to eliminate toxins from the lungs.
By adding broccoli to feed the defenses of the patients returned to normal and the body’s antioxidative activity was restored to baseline, which ranks this plant as a resource to draw upon to prevent lung cancer is in the case of non-smokers or addicted to snuff consumption.
Although you have been diagnosed with lung cancer anyway, you should eat more vegetables and fruits.
It is time that food will not only help you stop the cancer, but also to actively treat. Practitioners of alternative medicine have advocated for a long time vegetarian or macrobiotic diet for people with cancer including lung.
Now, traditional medicine is receiving increasing evidence that fruits and vegetables may be a good option for patients with lung cancer. Recent research shows that the substances contained in foods as beta carotene, can attack and destroy tumor cells and slow the growth and spread of tumors.
In a recent report, the Center for Research on Cancer, University of Hawaii in Honolulu, said the powers of plants chemotherapy slowed the progression and virulence of the cancer, prolonging the life span.
The study involved 463 men and 212 women with lung cancer. The researchers found that eating lots of vegetables of all kinds, women doubled their lifetime.
