If smoking and genetic factors are among the most important causes of cancer, doctors have discovered that some foods may help fight cancerous tumors in the body. We learn about them here, and we also offer other benefits for a group of vegetables and fruits.

Food has a role in about 30% of cancer cases, according to the World Health Organization, and in the following foods that may help fight cancer:

1- Tomatoes

Tomatoes have many benefits, as they contain "Lycopene", which contributes to fighting cardiovascular disease, but it also contains antioxidants that contribute to fighting cancer cells.

According to what Deutsche Welle quoted from a Harvard University study since 1999, tomatoes reduce the risk of prostate cancer by about 30% as long as they eat rich dishes daily.

2- Fiber-rich foods

It is recommended to eat fiber-rich foods to reduce the risk of breast cancer, as opposed to avoiding sugars.

According to a recent US study, eating 10 grams of oats or other foods per day is sufficient to reduce the risk of breast or pharyngeal cancer by 7%.

3- Strawberry and its sisters

These fruits hinder the growth of tumors, thanks to the huge amounts of antioxidants they contain.

Some studies have shown that 15 of them per day are beneficial in fighting breast and esophagus cancer.

4- Green vegetables

This includes salad, green cabbage, broccoli, and others, especially broccoli, which doctors say eliminates carcinogens, which red meat contains.

5- Citrus fruits

Citrus fruits, in turn, help stop the growth of tumors.

It is recommended to drink citrus juice daily, provided that they are natural juices and not ready.

6- Walnuts

Walnuts are particularly rich in vitamin E, which is called gamma-tocopherol, and contributes to the regulation of an enzyme that has a role in attacking and destroying cancer cells.

7- Fish

Fish are considered healthy foods because they contain Omega-3 fatty acid and Vitamin D, and salmon and herring are described as vitamin bombs.

An American study examined about 48,000 men over 12 years of those who ate fish - especially salmon - more than 3 times a week, and found that they were 40% less likely to develop advanced prostate cancer.

Eating fish reduces the risk of breast cancer in women by nearly half.

We point out here that these tips are for general guidance, and not instead of consulting a doctor, as food is not a cure for cancer, and it does not guarantee the absence of disease.
