Ten factors of cancer resistance in vegetables

In the daily diet of people, we can't leave the vegetables naturally. It is not only an important source of nutrients needed by the human body, but also an important material basis for ensuring human health. Fresh vegetables are not only delicious, nutritious, but also have high medicinal health care value. If you do not eat vegetables regularly, it is harmful to human health. As a result, the creed of "If you want to prevent cancer, exercise, eat more fruits and vegetables," will spread all over the world. So, what vegetables can prevent cancer? This article gives an introduction to the anti-cancer ingredients in vegetables for reference.

One of the anticancer components of vegetables contains cellulose, which is rich in cellulose. It is a kind of carbohydrate that cannot be absorbed by the human body. It is mainly composed of plant fibers, pectin, glue and lignin. According to the analysis of 13 cases of colon and rectal cancer, the researchers found that the cellulose in vegetables has a significant role in the prevention of colon and rectal cancer. The reason is that the presence of cellulose induces the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract and can bind the intestine. Internal toxic substances promote its elimination from the body and shorten the toxic effects on the intestinal tract. Lignin in cellulose can increase the viability of macrophages that phagocytose bacteria and cancer cells by 2 to 3 times, effectively preventing the occurrence of cancer.

Anti-mutagenicity of chlorophyll, an abundant anti-cancer component of vegetables, has recently been used by researchers at home and abroad to conduct research on anti-mutation foods using advanced SOS coloration tests. The SOS reaction is an error-prone repair function that occurs when the ribonucleic acid is damaged or the nucleic acid replication is blocked. The SOS chromogenic reaction test can quickly and effectively detect the degree of mutation or anti-mutation of food. Researchers from more than 30 kinds of fresh vegetables, such as ginger, green peppers, onions, potatoes, celery, carrots, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage, white radish, mushrooms, lettuce, broad beans, leeks, bean sprouts, citron, leeks, tomatoes, bamboo shoots The SOS test was performed on garlic, garlic, etc. The results showed that acetone extracts of most vegetables have anti-SOS reaction, which may be related to the presence of chlorophyll; the water-soluble extracts of more than 10 kinds of vegetables such as garlic, leeks, peony, bean sprouts, and tomatoes are inhibited In the SOS reaction, the effects of peony, garlic, and leeks are the strongest, and the SOS response is inhibited, suggesting that these vegetables have antimutagenic efficacy, and water-soluble extracts are closer to living conditions, so the anti-cancer effect is more significant.

Three of the Anticancer Compounds in Vegetables Containing Interferon Inducers The experts of the Institute of Virology at the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medical Sciences spent six years and finally unveiled the mystery of vegetable anti-cancer agents containing interferon-inducing agents. The interferon inducer can induce and stimulate the cell itself to produce interferon, promote the body's ability to enhance antiviral infection resistance and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. From the gourd family gourd, raw melon, gourd gourd, gourd gourd, radish radish, white radish, green radish to umbrella row of carrots, all contain interferon inducer, to prevent oral cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer For nasopharyngeal cancer, the above-mentioned vegetables rich in interferon-inducing agents can be eaten as much as possible.

Vegetable Anticancer Ingredients Four vegetables that contain a large amount of sulfur compounds are rich in sulfur compounds, such as onion, onion, and garlic in the lily family, and vegetables such as white radish, cabbage, yuan cabbage, and turnips in the family Cruciferae. For example, cruciferous vegetables contain natural inhibitors such as terpenoids and aromatic thiocyanate. According to experiments conducted by American scientists, it has been confirmed that dithiophenthione is rich in cruciferous vegetables and has anti-cancer effects. The animal experiments confirmed that taking thiophenolthione compounds can significantly reduce benzopyrene-induced gastric cancer and lung cancer. According to the US Hormones Institute, Chinese cabbage contains compounds containing indole-3-carboxaldehyde, which can break down estrogen associated with breast cancer. Eating Chinese cabbage can prevent breast cancer. Experts also recommend that women eat more cruciferous vegetables to prevent and treat cancer diseases that are unique to women.

The five anticancer components of vegetables containing β-sitosterol According to the Sloan Kettering Memorial Cancer Research Center of New York, scientific research experiments show that β-sitosterol, a main component of vegetables, has the effect of preventing and treating tumor formation. When the animals were fed a 0.2% beta-sitosterol diet, the growth of the animals' colonic epithelial cells was reduced by 50% compared to the control group without the feed. According to another experiment, animals were cared with carcinogenic nitrosamine compounds and then fed with β-sitosterol. Only 1/3 of the animals had tumors, whereas in the control group, more than half of them developed cancer.

The six cancer-fighting ingredients of vegetables contain β-carotene. Under the leadership of Prof. Bu Jin of the Cancer Suppression Laboratory of the Russian Cancer Research Center, the cancer treatment of β-carotene has been studied for many years. The results of the study confirmed that taking β-carotene preparations can reduce the incidence of cancers such as gastric cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and brain swelling by 1/2 to 2/3. If the body lacks β-carotene or vitamin A, it can cause cancers such as esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, and lung cancer. According to epidemiological surveys conducted in the United States, Japan, Iran, and North China, it is found that the occurrence of esophageal cancer is related to insufficient intake of vitamin A, and the low levels of esophageal cancer are associated with a high risk of cancer. Carotene-rich vegetables include carrots, peppers, spinach, leeks, rapeseed, Chinese cabbage, celery, tomatoes, bamboo shoots, and cilantro, and parsley.

Seven of the vegetable anticancer ingredients contain amylase and lycopene. Japanese scientists found that radish contains an “amylase” that can release the strong carcinogens nitrosamines and benzo[a]pyrene and other toxicities, causing them to lose their carcinogenic effects. The cancer effect is more significant. In addition, lettuce, peas, bean sprouts, pumpkins, etc. also contain an "enzyme" that can break down the strong carcinogen nitrosamines and effectively prevent canceration. In addition, according to U.S. research, it has been confirmed that eating more tomatoes can reduce the incidence of prostate cancer and pancreatic cancer in men. The results of the survey showed that the prevalence of prostate cancer can be reduced by 45% compared with those who do not eat tomato every week. The anti-cancer effect of tomatoes is mainly lycopene, which interferes with the destruction of the DNA of the genetic material and the cancer-causing molecules in the human body.

Eight of the anticancer components of vegetables contain B vitamins in the B vitamins, and B2, B6, B12 and folic acid have anti-cancer effects. Reducing the toxicity of chemical carcinogens in the body requires the participation of vitamin B2. According to research experiments show that: Eat more foods containing vitamin B2 can prevent and treat liver cancer. Vegetables containing vitamin B2 include fresh green leafy vegetables, seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, and fresh beans. Folic acid and vitamin B12 deficiency are important factors in the high incidence of esophageal cancer. Yangcheng County in Shanxi Province, for example, is a high incidence area for esophageal cancer. According to experts from Shanxi Medical College, a large number of investigations and tests have found that the general level of serum folic acid and vitamin B12 in the county population is significantly low. According to this statement, prevention of folic acid and vitamin B12 deficiency is one of the measures to prevent the occurrence of esophageal cancer. According to epidemiological surveys, the lack of folic acid can also lead to cancers such as cervical cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, and brain tumors. The main vegetables containing folic acid are spinach, celery, kale, leeks, cabbage, cauliflower, and lettuce.

Vegetable Anti-cancer Ingredient Nine Contains Vitamin D

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh found that large amounts of vitamin D supplementation can inhibit metastatic prostate cancer in experimental mice. This discovery provides a new way to prevent and treat human prostate cancer. Prof. Ben Wright of the University of Pittsburgh Center said in a research report that he and his colleagues transplanted highly metastatic prostate cancer cells into some experimental mice. The mice were then divided into two groups. One group received three consecutive weeks of vitamin D injection. A group does not undergo any treatment. As a result, it was found that the volume of tumor in the group of mice injected with vitamin D was 88% smaller than that of the other group, the number of tumors having been transferred to the lungs was 75% less, and the volume of the lung tumors was 85% smaller. Previous studies conducted by scientists have found that some patients with prostate cancer have lower levels of vitamin D in their blood. This suggests that vitamin D is associated with prostate cancer. However, experiments have shown that vitamin D has a certain inhibitory effect on the spread of prostate cancer for the first time. Among the vegetables with high vitamin D content are leeks, garlic, onion, soybeans, parsley, white radish, celery, seaweed, potatoes, and a variety of animal liver and fish.

Ten anti-cancer components of vegetables contain vitamin C

According to epidemiological surveys, the intake of vitamin C in residents with high incidence of esophageal cancer and gastric cancer is low. If the intake of vitamin C is high, the incidence of esophageal cancer and gastric cancer is low. Vitamin C enhances immune function, fights and eliminates cancer cells, promotes synthesis of interferon, inhibits cancer cells and carcinogenic viruses, eliminates the synthesis of foreign carcinogens in the body, and effectively prevents laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, and cervix The occurrence of cancer. Vegetables containing vitamin C include: Chinese cabbage, rapeseed, leeks, garlic, Chinese wolfberry, cauliflower, bitter gourd, chili, edamame, carrot, white radish, and lettuce.
