The Alkaline Diet Info Every Cancer Patient Needs to Read Immediately
This
article is really useful! Not only to cancer patients, but to
everyone as it provides an explanation of the pH balance of numerous
foods. Every human being needs to maintain the body alkaline in order to
promote health and prevent serious illnesses such as cancer.
According
to Raw Food Health “The human body goes to great lengths to maintain a
slightly alkaline pH of 7.35, but poor diet and stress can change the PH
to an acidic one in which disease can thrive.”
You will protect yourself and your health to a great extent if you change your eating habits.
An
alkaline diet, which is great cancer prevention, cannot be easily
followed nowadays, especially in the fast-paced Western countries, when
numerous people consume packages snacks, processed foods, fast foods and
microwave meals. These foods are no good for your entire well-being,
and are especially unhealthy in the case of cancer.
Therefore,
as soon as a patient is diagnosed with cancer, it is advisable to start
a healthy and balanced, alkaline diet. This will significantly elevate
the chances of healing.
The
proper diet would be abundant in minimally processed, fresh food. These
are the most important dietary changes you need to do in the case of
cancer:
Alkaline diet
An alkaline diet reduces inflammation and improves intracellular pH
Nowadays,
numerous people consume foods which increase the intracellular pH and
cause inflammation. The state of an increased intracellular pH is known
as latent acidosis, which is the ideal environment for the proliferation
of cancer.
Hence, a healthy alkaline diet will enhance the intracellular pH with time, and will fight inflammation.
Eat Alkaline foods
It
primarily includes organic leafy green vegetables, broccoli, root
vegetables, herbs and spices, beans, lentils and peas, cauliflower and
cabbages, garlic, onions, leek and chives, nuts and seeds, along with a
small amount of non-gluten grains like rice. You should eat as much
fruits and vegetables as you can.
Avoid gluten
Glutinous
grains lead to inflammation, which is beneficial for the progression of
cancer. Therefore, you should eliminate high-gluten grains like whole
grains, rye, wheat, as well as cereals, pasta, cakes, bread, muffins,
crackers, cookies and other baked goods.
On
the other hand, you should consume whole, non-gluten grains like rice,
quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth and millet. Moreover, you should avoid
“gluten free” prepared products, as they contain added sugar or
processed oils.
Avoid sugar
This
diet excludes sugar, as cancer cells use more glucose per unit of time
than other cells. Namely, the metabolism of sugar leads to acidity,
which is beneficial for cancer progression.
Also,
a diet rich in sugars, as well as too much fruit (yes, eating too much
fruit is not good as well. Try to eat more bitter fruits like granny
smith apples, grapefruits, etc.) will stimulate the insulin response.
Thus, if you frequently consume fruits during the day, you may suppress
the immunity and elevate the levels of insulin in the body, and thus
lead to insulin resistance, which is directly related to cancer
proliferation.
Processed
sugar drains the body’s magnesium and contributes to cancer. Also, high
fructose corn syrup, due to its processing methodology, is rich in
mercury, which is a toxin that causes cancer.
Therefore,
you should avoid all kinds of sugar, even “natural” sugars such as
agave and honey, high fructose corn syrup and white sugar. You can eat a
few figs, of dried apricots, unsweetened applesauce, or fresh
pineapple.
Keep
in mind that even fruit should be consumed in moderate amounts since
research has shown that fructose raises the cancer cell division rate
two times more than other sugar types.
Avoid dairy products
A
major study conducted by Prof. (Emeritus) T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D.,
Cornell University Cow showed that dairy is one of the most cancer
promoting foods. Namely, this is due to the casein protein.
Also, yogurts rich in proteins made with added powdered milk or whey are even a bigger threat than cheese, yogurt or plain milk.
If
you are struggling with cancer, you should avoid all kinds of dairy
products, as they may lead to bone deterioration, due to the high acid
production, inflammation, and promote cancer proliferation.
