Can you prevent and fight cancer with the help of foods?

According to the American Institute of Cancer Research, your plate should contain two thirds plant-based foods and one third animal protein as a cancer-fighting tool.

Here are some foods which contain some cancer-fighting nutrients:

• Fruits and vegetables, the more colourful the better they are at preventing and fighting this disease.
  
• Whole grains, breakfast cereals fortified with B vitamins.
  
• Folate and carotenoid-rich foods such as beans, asparagus, eggs, spinach, sunflower seeds, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, Brussels sprouts, kale.
  
• Tomatoes, the fresher the better, but even the processed tomato sauce and tomato juice may help fight cancer.
  
• Green tea is a strong contender but further research is ongoing.
  
• Purple and red grapes contain an antioxidant called Resveratrol with some inflammation-fighting properties. Some scientists believe that inflammation might be a trigger for cancer, however, this remains inconclusive.
  
• Other fruits such as oranges, melons, blueberries and strawberries are a good source of vitamins and folate.
  
• Water may protect you against bladder cancer as it may help dilute the concentration of cancer-causing substances in the bladder.
  
• Turmeric is an exotic Indian spice with curcumin as a main ingredient with a potential to fight cancer, research is ongoing.
  
• Other foods and spices with health-giving properties such as ginger, garlic, cinnamon, nuts, flaxseed, olive oil, fish, peas, beans, lentils, squash and whole foods.
