Welcome to our natural health blog.
An article by Mike Adams reveals some life-changing health information!
Here are some salient points he makes:
Eating just three small servings of raw cruciferous vegetables per month, such as broccoli and cabbage, has been found to decrease the risk of developing bladder cancer by upto 40 percent, is the conclusion reached by researchers from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo. The study is one of several that has added to the evidence that raw fruits and vegetables dramatically lower cancer risk.
However, the researchers did not find a protective benefit from eating the same quantity of cooked cruciferous vegetables. This suggests that the anti-cancer properties of cruciferous vegetables are destroyed by cooking.
Cruciferous vegetables are widely consumed in the world, accounting for 10 of the most popular vegetable foods. The family includes cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower, arugula, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, daikon, garden cress, horseradish, kale, kohlrabi, mustard, radish, rape (canola), rapini, rutabaga, tatsoi, turnip, wasabi and watercress.
These vegetables are known to be high in important nutrients such as vitamin C and selenium. They also contain hundreds of plant compounds that are known to fight cancer, including isothiocyanates.
Isothiocyanates inhibit both cancer and tumor development by directly blocking the carcinogenic action of free radicals. They prevent free radicals from attacking healthy cells and turning them cancerous.
These plant-based medicines, however, are delicate molecules that are easily destroyed by heat. Cooking these foods obliterates the medicine they contain. So does food irradiation, by the way: Microwaving broccoli destroys up to 98% of its phytonutrients, including its anti-cancer nutrients.
Ninety percent of bladder cancers occur along the inner lining. Chemotherapy is useless against bladder cancer. In fact, chemotherapy is highly toxic to the bladder and kidneys, causing cellular damage that actually leads to more cancer later on.
The conclusion to all this is that consuming raw fruits and vegetables is a very powerful way to halt degenerative disease, stop cancer, reverse diabetes, end heart disease and enhance your health. So visit your local grocery store, and shop organic if possible.
