Wellness and Healthy Tips

Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients needed by our bodies. These nutrients are delivered from our food & beverage because generally can not be made by our bodies. Various tests showed the benefits of vitamins & minerals for our body health, including reducing the incidence of cancer.

Beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium known as antioxidants that can stimulate the body's immune system to fight free radicals that form carcinogens (substances that can cause cancer), including preventing damage to normal cells. In animal experiments proved that these antioxidants can inhibit chromosomal damage, stage of tumor promotion, cell transformation and cancer formation stimulation chemical or radiation.

Anti-Cancer Vitamin

 A study watching 8000 men for 5 years showed those who ate less ?carotene have the greatest risk of lung cancer. Another study of 2000 men, showed that smokers consume less ?carotene has a risk several times higher lung cancer than smokers with the level of ?carotene consumption is high. Other studies show anti-cancer effects of ?carotene in various cancers such as bladder, larynx, esophagus (throat), stomach, colon / rectum, and prostate. Studies using cell cultures showed malignant cancer cells can be inhibited by providing pro-vitamin A in cell culture is subjected to radiation / chemical / virus triggers the cancer.

 Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

 Some studies suggest that the incidence of gastric cancer in Japan is often recorded may be related to high dietary cancer-causing substance and a lack of vitamin C. Ascorbic acid can prevent cancer-causing substance, particularly nitrosamines, in the body. Vitamin C, in fact, is now added to some foods such as processed meat products to prevent the formation of nitrosamines even before it enters our bodies. This vitamin is also used to reduce other cancers such incidents of blood cancer (leukemia), cancer of the esophagus, cancer cervix (cervical), etc.

Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol)

Vitamin supplements in the form of active O (1.25 - hydroxyl) can inhibit the multiplication of cancer cells. Studies at the University of California, San Diego (1985), shows that lack of vitamin D and calcium contribute to the occurrence of colorectal cancers. Active form of vitamin in vitro have anticancer properties, inhibit the growth of leukemia cells, breast cancer cells, melanoma cell weight, cell lymphoma.

Vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopherol)

Vitamin E increases the ability Selenium in inhibiting breast cancer in experimental animals. In humans, vitamin E can inhibit the initial conditions of breast cancer. As with beta carotene, vitamin E deficiency is closely related to the high risk of lung cancer. In animals (hamsters), who were not given vitamin E and exposed carcinogenic substances (substances causing cancer) developed cancer in his body, unlike that given vitamin E. Vitamin E protects the side effects adverse effects of radiation therapy and reduce toxicity from chemotherapy in animal models.

Vitamin K (Phyto Menadione)

Vitamin K can inhibit a variety of human tumors in vitro (in test tube). Tumor types including breast, colon, stomach, kidneys and lungs.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)

 Vitamin B2 deficiency associated with esophageal cancer in some regions in the world. A study indicating that vitamin B2 supplementation reduces the number of cells that are likely Precancerous cells in the esophagus.

 Vitamin B3 (Niacin)

 Niacin is intentionally added, reportedly also prevent cancer. This vitamin is usually given also in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, to reduce the effects of tocsins (poisoning) from the chemotherapy itself. This vitamin is also used to detoxify pollutants, alcohol and drugs. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). Vitamin B6 has been found to inhibit the growth of cancer cells of different species in the laboratory. Rats that were given vitamin B6 (pyridoxal form) and then injected with melanoma cells have more than twice the reduction in tumor growth compared with mice that did not get this vitamin.

Folic Acid (Folic Acid)

According to some studies, women with cervical cancer (cervical) levels of folic acid in the blood low. With folic acid supplementation, abnormal changes in cells of the cervix (cervical dysphasia), which can cause cervical cancer can be prevented.

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)

These vitamins protect against cancer, particularly cancers that are triggered by smoking. To test this hypothesis, the researchers studied 73 men who smoked a pack a day for at least 20 years. All have pre-cancerous changes in the potential bronchially tissue, but none have developed into cancer. They were then divided into 2 groups, one group received 10 mg of folic acid and 500 ? g per day of vitamin B12, another group received a placebo (fake pill). Only after 4 months, the effect of the combination of folic acid and vitamin B12 began to look real. The group that received vitamin has significantly fewer cells that are classified as pre-cancer potential.

Mineral Anti-Cancer

Calcium (Ca)

As one group of minerals that play a role in the process of reproduction (proliferation) of cells in human colonic mucous layer, because the entry of calcium is high enough to reduce the risk of colon cancer. Study for 19 years at the white man in Chicago, as well as epidemiological studies in 4 areas in Scandinavia showed that a deficiency of vitamin D and calcium in their diet is closely related to the occurrence of colon cancer. Those who consume milk 1 ? cups / day had a risk of these cancers compared with 3x those who consume milk 4 ? cups / day. They are coming and families with colon cancer, calcium supplementation was given 1250 mg / day, after 2 - 3 months supplementation, abnormal cell deficiency is reduced to the normal conditions.

Magnesium (Mg)

Research ever conducted on experimental animals showed, lack of magnesium (Mg) in experimental animal diets may promote the development of throat cancer and skin cancer out.

Zinc (Zn)

 The experts believe that zinc provides protection against prostate cancer. Patients with cancer of the esophagus (throat), bronkogenik, and zinc levels of prostate have a very low zinc deficiency in mice is closely related with an increased number of chemical compounds and esophageal cancer triggers other reports mention the addition of zinc in hamsters and rats in the diet inhibits cancer-triggering chemicals. Body with a healthy immune system (among others characterized by adequate zinc intake) is no doubt capable of protecting from attack cancer. Zinc also has antagonist properties (blocking) with cadmium, a heavy metal that can cause cancer.

 Selenium (Se)

 As antioxidants fight free radicals cause damage to trigger cancer cells, tissues and degenerative diseases. In vitro inhibits cancer cell growth and DNA repair efficiency due to cancer.

 Molybdenum (Mb)

 Research shows that molybdenum supplementation in mice can protect mice from cancer-causing chemicals. Epidemiological studies also show that the population Lian Xian, Honan, northern China suffered a lot of esophageal cancer (highest in the world), because they are poor soil molybdenum. In plants, Molybdenum can prevent nitrate (which is a nutrient for plants) transformed into nitrosamines (cancer-causing substance).

 Potassium/Kalium(K)

 Doctor Max Garson, a cancer alternate therapist suggested that high potassium diet low in sodium making cells sick. That pain can not produce a number of important energy needed by the body and cause a lot of pain, including cancer.

 Silica (Si)

 Researchers named F. Goldstein found a low level of deaths from cancer in a little town in Germany (Leaf County) associated with the intake of silica are obtained from the fountain in the town of silica containing 80 mg / L.

 You can get the benefits of vitamins & minerals in a variety of products sold in stores to ensure that there is a need for these essential nutrients.
