“To live healthy is priceless than to live wealthy, but you are ill...."

This is another part of the series of articles that you have read about alternative cancer treatments. In this article, you will learn what foods you should consider and avoid when you are diagnosed, or you just want to get rid of cancer.

Foods to avoid:

• Chips, crisps and anything junk

Acrylamide is a chemical found in baked, fried and grilled types of food. Chips, crisps and even biscuits, bread and crackers have this ingredient. A new study shows that many cancer patients were found to have a high amount of this chemical in their bodies. It is impossible to avoid acrylamide, because almost every food item we consume has this chemical.

Since we cannot avoid this, what we can do is to lessen the intake of fatty food, most especially junk foods. Drink a lot of water and increase intake of veggies and fruits.

• Alcohol

If we are stressed, happy, and sad this is the first drink present on our tables. However, you should know for a fact that high alcohol intake can cause cancer of the mouth, liver and ...
... breast. Despite knowing that too much of anything isn’t good, we still drink alcohol. If you can’t entirely prevent it, the recommended daily allowance for alcohol is three to four units for men and two to three units for women. An increased intake will result to high-risk health; better drink a cup of fresh juice and water instead of getting drunk every time.

• Meat

We know that this is one of the best-tasting pleasure foods ever. Occasions such as weddings, baptismal, birthdays, house warming and the likes usually have this on the table. Buffet tables overflow with meat based dishes, and even snacks are flavored beef or pork. However, for everyone’s information, large intake of meat, pork or beef or lamb be it barbecued or processed gives you a high risk of getting bowel cancer.

We cannot avoid eating meat, and it is not also advisable not to take it at all because our body needs the energy we can get from it, however, we should reduce or lessen the intake of meat. At least, 3-4 times a month is just fine. Instead of high meat intake, try to replace it with fish or seafood, match it with your favorite vegetables and you’ll soon forget to eat meat every day.

You do not want to have cancer, and I am pretty sure that you would like to enjoy your life to the fullest. Why don’t you start taking good care of yourself? Remove what is not good for your body and increase the food that is needed by your body. We are living in a generation where everything is stressful and sometimes our way to relieve it is to eat instantly cooked food, which is not healthy for us. Try to make the first step! Eat what’s right and rest assured you'll be happily healthy.
