Intro to Battling Cancer and Hair Loss: Empowering Your Journey Through Diet and Support
Cancer.
Who doesn’t hate that word?
It evokes a sense of dread and fear in everyone.
We’ve all been touched by this awful disease in one way or another. Whether we’ve faced it personally or have seen loved ones struggle against it, cancer’s impact is profound and far-reaching.
Its very mention can bring about a wave of emotions and memories, from the initial shock of diagnosis to the arduous journey through treatment.
Cancer cells are notoriously resilient, possessing pro-survival properties that make them tough adversaries. They can adapt, resist, and thrive in ways that challenge even the most advanced medical interventions.
So, how do we combat such a formidable foe?
The answer lies not just in medical treatments but in our everyday choices, particularly regarding our diet.
The Role of Diet in Cancer Prevention and Treatment
Diet plays an essential role in our bodies’ health. Are you aware that your diet can both feed and starve cancer cell productivity by affecting multiple mechanisms that promote cancer?
Doctors have recently, through cancer stem cell research, begun to take a whole new approach to preventing and treating cancer. The good news is that cancer stem cells are affected by phytochemicals, the nutrients in our diet. Each of these nutrients is designed to prevent and treat the pro-survival cancerous properties that allow a cancer stem cell to function.
Nutrients That Fight Cancer
We’ll discuss some of these phytochemicals found in your diet that can manipulate the communication pathways between the cancer stem cell and the corresponding cancer cell. Please note that we are not medical professionals and are not giving any medical advice.
Ursolic Acid
Found in the waxy coating of fruits like the skin of red apples and herbal medicines like holy basil, ursolic acid causes “cell suicide” in cancerous cells and inhibits cancer cell DNA replication, reducing tumor growth and metastasis. A 150-300mg dosage, 3x a day, is optimal. Unfortunately, this is significantly more than what you can get from using apple peels or taking holy basil.
Piperine
This compound in black pepper has been used to treat common ailments such as colds and fever. Recently, piperine has been studied for its anticancer properties. It prevents H. pylori, a carcinogenic bacteria responsible for colorectal cancer, from adhering to the gastrointestinal tract. Add fresh cracked black pepper to your salads, meat, sauces, dips, and soups.
Lycopene
Lycopene, found in red-pigmented fruits and veggies, disrupts cancer stem cell communication pathways, causing cancer cells to die. To reap its benefits, snack on watermelon in the summer and add a bowl of grapefruit to your breakfast in the winter.
Sulforaphane
This isothiocyanate, synthesized in our bodies from cruciferous vegetables, promotes detoxification, activates cancer-inhibiting agents, boosts immunity, and protects against various cancers. For optimal impact, consume at least 2 servings of cruciferous veggie sprouts like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and Brussels sprouts daily.
Curcumin
Curcumin, found in turmeric, is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer agent. It prevents chronic inflammation, which is repeatedly evident in cancer development. Add turmeric to your dishes and mix with piperine from black pepper for optimal absorption.
EGCG (Epigallocatechin-3-gallate)
Green tea is a rich source of this polyphenol. Drinking green tea regularly may reduce the risk of cancers such as breast, colon, prostate, and lung cancer. EGCG interrupts cancer stem cell signaling pathways. Sip on green tea in the morning or use it as a base for smoothies. Matcha green tea contains up to 10 times more EGCG than commercial green tea.
