Anti-Cancer Fruits

“Which Of The Favors Of

Your Lord Will You Deny?”

Eat Wisely And Keep

The Doctors Away!

(M. Javed Naseem)

“It is He Who has spread out the earth for

(His) creatures. Therein is fruit and date-palms,

producing spathes (enclosing dates); also

corn, with (its) leaves and stalk for fodder,

and sweet-smelling plants. Then which of

the favors of your Lord will you deny?”

(al-Quran 55:10-13)

Humans are the most beautiful and fascinating creation of the Almighty Lord, Who is the Supreme Creator! The Most Merciful Allah created this planet Earth for us humans and in it provided us with all kinds of things we need to survive. The universe is full of His bounties and He showers them onto us when He is pleased. It’s a great privilege (in fact His mercy) that we enjoy all those bounties (including air, water, food, fruits, vegetables, etc.) even when we disobey the Lord. He is the Most Merciful, the Best Provider and the Best Sustainer indeed.

“Who has made the earth a resting place for

you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down

water (rain) from the sky and brought forth

therewith fruits as a provision for you. Then

do not set up rivals unto Allah (in worship)

while you know (that He Alone has the

right to be worshipped).”

(al-Quran 2:22)

Allah, the Almighty, reminds us in the Quran in many different chapters that He is the Creator of everything we are enjoying and eating in this universe. He is the Sole Provider and Cherisher. We should reflect and ponder upon it; and eventually be grateful to Him for all His favors and mercy. There are signs of His dominion in everything.

“It is He Who sends down water (rain) from the

sky, and with it We bring forth vegetation of all

kinds, and out of it We bring forth green stalks,

from which We bring forth thick clustered grain.

And out of the date-palm and its spathe come

forth clusters of dates hanging low and near, and

gardens of grapes, olives and pomegranates, each

similar (in kind) yet different (in variety and taste).

Look at their fruits when they begin to bear,

and the ripeness thereof. Verily! In these things

there are signs for people who believe.”

(al-Quran 6:99)

The Merciful God created all kinds of fruits and vegetables, in different tastes, colors, shapes and sizes. They are not only pleasing to the eyes but also provide us with nourishment, quench our thirst and feed our hunger. When we get sick, they can also cure us and cleanse our bodies of all toxins. If we eat our food (fruits, vegetables and meat) wisely, we can stay healthy for a longer time and can also keep the doctors away. We should be moderate and modest in our eating habits.

The experts (nutritionists) recommend eating fresh fruits to obtain a higher amount of anti-cancer compounds. There are fruits and vegetable that fight diseases, like cancer. It is recommended that cancer-fighting foods should make the two-thirds of the meal containing fruits and vegetables, and one-third containing meat. If we consume fruits on a regular basis, we can significantly reduce the risk of getting cancer. Here are excerpts from a doctor’s recommendations:

 

The Best Anti-Cancer Fruits

to Include in Your Diet

By Dr. Adem Gunes 

(Guest Writer for Wake Up World)

Fruits offer nutritional gains to the human body in the form of substances such as Vitamin C, phenols, fiber, folic acid, and antioxidants. It is a strongly established fact; plenty of evidence shows the anti-cancer properties of certain compounds in fruits. 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. And, as science has demonstrated, there are plenty more.

Cancer Fighting Foods

Many studies have supported the immense benefits of fruits against cancer. A review of 206 studies have 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 stem and fruit of pineapple. 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:

Liver

Colon

Breast cancer.

It is the primary reason 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:

Lungs

Bowel

Skin

Breast

Stomach

Prostate.

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:

Colorectal cancer

Brain cancer

Leukemia

Esophageal cancer

Oral cancer.

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 the prominent amount of folate, dietary fiber, potassium, and beta-carotene. Citrus fruits are most beneficial in the following cancers:

Stomach cancers

Mouth cancers

Larynx cancers

Pharynx cancers

Studies have shown that citrus fruits are advantageous for heart disease, arthritis, and gallstones. There are several studies that Lemon has the property to fight cancer. Since, lemon contains vitamin C, that is already a cancer-fighting agent and also lemon extract affects only the malignant cells and leave the healthy cells unharmed.

Berries:

The sweet berries are potent anti-cancer compounds. According to research on mice, Black Raspberries showed reductions in:

Oral cancer

Esophageal cancer

Colon cancer

The berries inhibited the whole spectrum of tumors from being promoted and initiated. The berries contain ellagic acid that inhibit the tumor genesis.

Blueberries are one of the most strong sources of antioxidants. Phytochemicals are cancer-fighting substances that are found in blueberries. They are also 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 oneself with 100% of your daily recommendation of vitamin C.

Pomegranate:

Pomegranate is rich in antioxidants tannins and flavonoids that have drawn the researchers’ attention towards its healing properties. Its extract prevents the growth of:

Breast cancer

Prostate cancer

Colon cancer

Lung cancer

Clinical research has given solid proof that pomegranate is anti-carcinogenic.

Kiwi:

Kiwi is well known for high vitamin C content than even an orange. It is also a powerful antioxidant. Vitamin C prevents free radical damage. It consists of flavonoids and carotenoids that protect the DNA from damage or oxidative stress that is cancer. Being packed with vitamins, it is a strong immune booster. It proves its effectiveness in healing different cancers like:

Liver cancer

Stomach cancer

Breast cancer

Lung cancer

Kiwi extracts inhibit cancer cells proliferation. In addition to this, catechin, which is phytochemical helps in prevention of cancer and reduce 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 kills the malignant cells in 12 types of cancer including:

Colon cancer

Lung cancer

Prostate cancer

Breast cancer

Pancreatic cancer
