Anti-cancer food items contain a few active ingredients that have been proven in lab-studies to directly destroy cancer-cells. But their beneficial effect is not limited to this. They contain many other substances that support the body’s own mechanisms to arrest the growth and multiplication of cancer-cells as well as prevent their invasion of surrounding tissues.
Here are 6 cancer-fighting foods and drinks you can include in your diet:
1.Green Tea
Antioxidant compounds called catechins occur in green-tea and are highly effective in mopping-up free radicals. They do this by combining with the free radicals and deactivating them. This process effectively reduces the risk of cancer.
The free radicals have the potential to damage the DNA of cells. Cells with damaged DNA can multiply in an abnormal way, and become the starting point of various types of cancers.

2.Broccoli
Research shows that eating broccoli and other cabbage family vegetables like, Brussels-sprouts, rapine, kale and collard greens lowers the risk of several types of cancers including prostate, breast, stomach, and colorectal cancers. Almost all cruciferous vegetables contain vitamin-C and the dark-colored ones like kale and collard-greens are good sources of vitamin-K.
They break down in the body to produce anti-inflammatory agents called indoles and isothiocyanates which have an inhibitory action on the enzymes that initiate cancer.

3.Red Grapes & Grape Juice
Grapes contain resveratrol, a polyphenol known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that offer cancer protection. The red and purple varieties are particularly high in resveratrol, so is red-wine. However, since alcohol consumption is implicated in many cancers of the mouth, esophagus, colon and rectum as well as breast-cancer in women, red-wine is no candidate for an anti-cancer diet. Resveratrol has been shown to have a beneficial effect on prostate and breast-cancers in mice as well as cancers of the gastrointestinal tract.
Since this polyphenol is concentrated in the skin of the grapes, freshly prepared juice of organically grown red-grapes would offer maximum benefit.

4.Blueberries

High Vitamin-C content as well as the presence of ellagitannins in blueberries may be contributing to the cancer-protective effect.
Ellagitannins get converted into ellagic acid and then into urolithins. These compounds protect DNA from free-radical damage that is the starting point of many cancers. Blueberries contain a substance called Pterostilbene which is related to the resveratrol in red-grapes. It has been found to cause self destruction of abnormal-cells in the stomach, pancreas and lung tissue.
5.Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate has been linked with heart-health, but it may even help prevent certain types of cancers. Lab-studies have shown that the catechins, polyphenols and proanthocyanidins in pure chocolate may prevent the formation of tumors and retard the growth and proliferation of cancers.
Although eating some dark chocolate may offer cancer protection, many types contain sugar that may not be all that great to have on a daily basis. Be sure that you purchase dark-chocolate with at-leat 80% cacao.

6.Kombucha Tea
This fermented drink is made from slightly sweetened black-tea through the action of yeast and bacteria colonies that thrive in the starter. Russian scientists noticed that large areas of the country where people traditionally drank Kombucha tea were generally free of cancer. After further studies, the drink was confirmed to be having a powerful detoxification effect on the liver that afforded protection against several types of cancer.

If you have been wondering how to detox your body effectively, and you want to do it yourself, wonder no more. A food detox is actually a great way to do so. What you do here is flush toxins out of the body through the feet. This is an ancient Asian healing method and it is based on the theory of reflexology that foot meridians are connected to other parts of the human body.
This is why you can get rid of all the toxins in your body, as well as detoxifying it just by taking some foot detox baths.

The practice of detoxification through the feet is one example of how some people in the west are getting back their health based on eastern medicine. This process involves herbs that produce secretions of harmful toxins. Think of it as sweating out toxins through your feet. 

Take a look at 3 natural ways to practice detoxification through your foot.

1.Salt Bath

Ingredients

1/4 cup of Sea Salt (Himalayan Salt can be used as a substitute);
1/4 cup of Epsom Salt; 
1/4 cup of Baking Soda; 
1/3 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar. 

Note: Essential oils can also be added, but are completely optional.

Instructions:

First, dissolve the first three ingredients in boiling water. Set the pot aside to cool slightly and add the Apple Cider Vinegar. Then pour the mixture into a basin large enough to soak your feet in. Add the essential oils if you plan on using them. 

Soak your feet in this bath for half an hour or longer. Take necessary precautions when soaking your feet in this mixture. Some people have a light-headed sensation when they finish, so just in case, don’t perform this treatment when you’re home alone. 

2.Clay Bath

Ingredients

1/2 cup of bentonite clay;
1/2 cup of Epsom Salt.

Note: Essential oils can also be added, but are completely optional.

Instructions

Dissolve the Epsom-salt in hot water and pour in the essential oils if you plan on using them. 

Then, take the clay and make a paste with it. To do this, mix it with a little bit of water. Next, stand in the tub of hot (or warm) water that you prepared with Epsom salt while you rub the clay mixture over your body, creating a mask. Allow this mask to dry for a few minutes before you sit down in the tub. Soak in the tub for a minimum of twenty minutes to allow the mask to pull the toxins from the skin. Finally, remove the clay mask with a washcloth. 

The clay in this bath works to pull any heavy metals from your body, while the Epsom-salt helps you repair your magnesium levels.




3.Oxygen Bath

Ingredients

2 or more cups of Hydrogen Peroxide;
1 Tablespoon of dried Ginger (in powder form).

Instructions:
Add the hydrogen peroxide and ginger to a tub of warm water. Soak in the tub for as long as you’d like. Thirty minutes is recommended. It’s also recommended that you try this bath when you have a cold that involves congestion and general aches and pains. You’ll feel much better as the ginger will help to clear the congestion and relieve the pain. 

As an added benefit, it could clear up minor skin irritations.

If you’re into superfoods, you’ve probably heard about spirulina. This blue green algae is a freshwater plant – in fact, it’s the very same algae that can be found on the surface of the pond. While that might not seem very appetizing, there are practically an endless number of reasons you should eat it, at least in its final form of spirulina, which is completely safe.
Check out these 6 reasons you should have a spoonful of spirulina each day.

1.Fights liver disease
Spirulina may be essential for those with a chronic liver disease as research has shown that it helps to protect against liver cirrhosis, liver damage and liver failure. In the study published in Journal Nutrition, the scientists concluded that spirulina is beneficial for liver health in addition to functioning as an antioxidant, eliminating free radicals, preventing liver damage and chelating harmful-metals.

2.Supports brain health
Taking a spoonful of spirulina a day is believed to help protect the brain from degenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. One study compared spirulina to foods rich in antioxidants like blueberries and spinach, which are well-known to cause neuroprotective effects because of their ability to lower inflammation and eliminate free radicals. Research has also shown it doesn’t only protect the brain from degeneration, but it also helps sharpen your mind, with some findings that suggest taking it daily can even help increase productivity and focus.

3.Improves muscle strength and endurance
As one of the major contributors to fatigue in muscles is exercise-induced oxidative damage, consuming plant foods that are rich in antioxidants like spirulina can prevent the problem, or at a minimum, limit the damage. Spirulina has also been found in studies to be beneficial for improving both endurance and muscle strength.

4.Lowers the risk of cancer
The University of Maryland Medical Center reports: “A number of animal and test tube studies suggest that spirulina increases production of antibodies, infection-fighting proteins, and other cells that improve immunity and help ward off infection and chronic illnesses such as cancer.

5.Lowers blood sugar levels
Some animal studies have suggested that consuming spirulina can lower blood sugar levels, in fact, results have even shown that it can outperform some of the most common diabetes medications, like Metformin. Other research on humans, in which 25 patients with type-2 diabetes took two grams of spirulina each day for two months, experienced significantly lowered blood sugar levels.

6.Eliminates candida
While candida is not a bad thing on its own and can be found in the gastrointestinal tract, your oral cavity and vagina, if there isn’t a healthy balance, will be much more susceptible to illness and disease. A microflora imbalance can lead to leaky gut syndrome and candidiasis, the leading cause of deaths related to mycosis in the United States. An overgrowth of candida is now a hallmark sign for most autoimmune diseases we see today.
How to use spirulina:

The easiest way to utilize spirulina is to mix it into various foods. While you could simply mix a spoonful into a glass of water, many people find its pungent taste rather off-putting, but adding it to a smoothie, fruit juice, soup or other foods, even dips, can be a great way to take advantage of its many benefits without suffering through the experience.

Lying on your back with your legs extended up the wall, known as Viparita Karani or Legs Up the Wall by yoga practitioners, is thought to offer benefits for the body and mind. In this restorative pose, you can support your pelvis and lower back with a bolster or a couple of folded blankets, or you can do it with no props. This pose is suitable for beginners, and you can relax in the position for quite a while, even up to 15 minutes at a time.
check out these 5 amazing health-benefits of doing something so simple everyday.

1.Circulation
Any time you stand or sit, your body has to work hard to pump blood from your legs back to your heart. In Legs-Up the Wall, your legs are higher than your heart, and gravity can help the circulation of both blood and lymphatic fluid. This improved circulation can help you recover from your workouts, and it can help control blood-pressure and improve the condition of varicose-veins.

2.It can decrease stress and anxiety
Adults and Teens are in a constant flux of stress and anxiety: academics, social pressure and emotional confusion due to changing hormones and a developing brain all cause constant activation of the sympathetic nervous-system or “fight or flight” response. When our bodies are in this state, blood-pressure rises, the digestive-system slows and we tire more quickly. By combining Legs-Up the Wall with mindful breathing, you will start to activate the parasympathetic nervous-system or the “rest and digest” system of the body. Digestion will improve, stress will decrease, anxiety will lower, and the body will have a chance to heal and repair.
3.Improves the immune-system
One of the health benefits of legs up the wall pose is its ability to enhance your immune-system. By putting your feet in a vertical position, the lymphatic-system will be stimulated. The movement of lymph in our body plays a vital role in our immune-system because it can remove toxins from our body. A well regulated lymphatic-system also helps balance hormones.

4.It calms the nervous system
This posture is designed to relax your whole body. When you combine this pose with rhythmic breathing, you will be able to relax your nervous-system. When you eat food, your stomach will digest it and use it to repair and heal your body. One of the health benefits of legs up the wall pose is its ability to make your body healthier and you will have a calmer state of mind.



5.Stretch
By straightening your legs against the wall, you gently stretch your hamstrings, the muscles on the backs of your thighs. When you perform Legs-Up the Wall with a bolster or blanket supporting your pelvis, you also stretch the front of your torso. You can benefit from this stretch by performing it after a leg-intensive workout such as running.


There are many yoga practitioners who greatly benefit by doing the legs up wall pose. Some of the yoga practitioners report that they feel relieved from insomnia, backaches, headaches and digestive problems. Even though there is no scientific evidence to back up these claims, some healthcare professionals say that yoga can greatly improve the health condition of those people who are experiencing various problems ranging from chronic pain to cancer.
