Once among aristocrats it was considered chic languishing and with a touch of superiority to complain about gout. Today, it's fashionable to blame depression in any problems. But there is one disease, which not only does not want to talk about, but it's scary to name it by name. Speech, of course, about cancer. Can it be avoided, for example, with the help of a vegan diet? We'll figure it out together.
Cancer is also nature: take a closer look
Oncologists are still looking for the causes of cancer. As such, they are called viruses, mutations, ultraviolet, tobacco smoke, GMOs and much more. However, all amicably note that domestic dogs and cats suffer from malignant tumors much more often than horses and cows. But the last - vegetarians! Recently zoologists presented to the world an amazing animal with an extravagant name "naked excavator". He looks scary, but he lives 25-30 years and never has cancer. In this case, the digger refers to rodents and even does not take a dormant mouth. Really a coincidence? Scientists have yet to explain the relationship between cancer and nutrition, but something about this is already known. Cancer cells are constantly being born among the ordinary, but the army of ubiquitous immune bodies - leukocytes - finds them and detoxifies them. And when does the army perform its duties impeccably? When it is well fed and does not interfere. So, our immunity is able to cope independently with a terrible ailment, if the body will do everything necessary, and harmful access will be blocked. Let's see to what extent the vegan diet is useful here.
Five main reasons why vegan food is as far from cancer as possible
Behind each eaten product there are any chemical compounds that affect the metabolism. Feeding exclusively on the gifts of the flora, vegan prevents the ingestion of a number of sabotage substances from animal food. So, if you are a vegetarian, these harmful substances will NOT enter your body:
- Cholesterol. Its surpluses do not settle on the walls of blood vessels, which means that blood circulation will be able to function as a Swiss clock.
- Antibiotics. Will remain intact intestinal microflora.
- Hormones. They work point-by-point and in microscopic doses. If they are not prescribed by a doctor, their effects are unpredictable, but always destructive.
- Allergens of milk and eggs. Immune cells can safely clean the body without distracting to foreign proteins and not spending any of their energy.
- Carcinogens arising from frying or smoking. Less cause for inflammation, which weaken the body and draws on a significant leukocyte force.
In addition, it is animal food that is more readily and more salted, so the vegan is free from excess sodium, which means it can count on perfect blood pressure. The kidneys also feel better, as they do not have to deduce the astronomical volume of nitrogenous compounds that arise when proteins are destroyed.
How a Plant Diet Helps Boost Immunity
The plant is an amazing organism that can create almost any organic matter. All of them, except, of course, poisonous, are intended for us as food. For a million years, the human body has learned to benefit even from those that are not digested. Among these substances, benefactors are most valuable for immunity:
- fiber: it is not digested, but it supplies the intestinal microflora that will not tolerate intestinal cancer;
- vitamins: without them the body quickly gives up, for example, the papilloma virus, which causes cancer of the cervix;
- lycopene: these magical connections like a broom sweep the nascent cancer cells.
Why bowel health is the basis of cancer prevention
The roots of any disease, Japanese doctors are first sought in the digestive tract, and this has its own reason. The human intestine is significantly longer than the predator of the same mass, and there are two problems related to nutrition.
- Proteins of meat food do not split at once into separate "bricks". First, small ligaments of 10-20 amino acids arise, many of them are toxic. The walls of the intestine do not know how to separate them from the intestines and suck everything. And the longer the intestine, the more poisons penetrate into the blood and the liver will be overloaded.
- The stout masses have to overcome a longer distance, so they manage to give too much water, to tighten and obstruct the evacuation of the intestine.
Long constipation, the presence of toxins in the blood, working at the limit of the liver can trigger cancer of the colon and leukemia, but not in the vegan. Their diet contains the necessary amount of fiber, "tickling" the intestinal wall, and organic acids, softening feces. Food passes through the intestines fast enough to give up nutrients and not have time to poison cells. Vegetable products contain everything: high-grade protein (soy), carbohydrates with a strong energy reserve (fruit, cereals), correct fats (olives, flaxseed), iron (buckwheat). Well-designed, maximally varied vegan diet maintains the body in tone, awakens its natural cleansing forces and serves as the best prevention of the disease, which is even scary to name.
