Our body’s natural defense systems against diseases like cancer can be strengthened through the foods we eat. For instance, dietary sources of naturally-occuring, so-called antiangiogenic substances can contribute to cutting off the blood supply to tumors. Prof. William Li writes: "When abnormal blood vessels grow, they can nourish microscopic cancers. A healthy angiogenesis system regulates when and where blood vessels should grow and can prevent tumors from recruiting a private blood supply [...] My extensive research has uncovered a plethora of delicious foods (and beverages) that are naturally anti-angiogenic: foods that can block blood vessel growth and, subsequently, inhibit cancerous cells from ever developing into cancer, even in those for whom cancers run in the family. [...] For example, repeated tests have shown that an abundance of fruits, herbs, vegetables, and spices, such as berries, grapes, beans, garlic, and parsley, inhibit angiogenesis by over 60%. Even more astonishingly, tests have shown that combinations of these foods provide our bodies with a more potent cancer inhibitor than any foods do by themselves, which proves the beneficial power of 'food synergy' (eating a combination of healthful foods rather than a lot of the same food). My research team and I have tested numerous dietary factors for their ability to starve cancers and we’ve found that eating a predominantly whole foods plant-based diet [...is] powerfully effective at obstructing the development of cancer in our bodies." The below foods contribute to a balanced and healthy angiogenesis system. You can watch Prof. Li's Ted Talk here: https://t.co/mSHfw4TmMn
