The right diet and the nutrition provided by the right diet and our right lifestyle process protects us from 30-40% of the causes of dangerous diseases like cancer, while the wrong foods - such as packaged foods, red meat consumption, use of saturated fat, high use of low fibre foods, more use of refined flour and sugar, consumption of alcohol and tobacco increase the causes of cancer and also inhibit the treatment of cancer.
Can food be carcinogenic?
Foods are the mixture of various types of macronutrients such as protein, carbohydrate, fat, fibre & water and micro-nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, when we interrupt these natural elements and try to change their natural taste, then due to adding colour, flavour, preservatives and due to cooking processing, some of the same foods can be carcinogenic. Rather, when we consume food in its natural form, all these nutritional elements increase the immunity of the human body and reduce the chances of getting a fatal disease.
MEASURES TO REDUCE THE RISK OF CANCER
Use of healthy food plate - A healthy food plate prescribed by "The National Institute of Nutrition" is an example of a balanced diet and complete nutrition, Because A healthy food plate includes all seven types of food groups. And also represents the amount of substance that must be on our food plate so that every day we can get the nutrients in the form of a balanced diet.
"National Institute of Nutrition" describes a healthy and balanced diet by describing grains, pulses, fruits & vegetables, egg/milk/curd cheese, ghee oil, dry fruits and seeds on this healthy food plate.
Having these foods in the diet reduces the risk of cancer in the following ways, such as-
It is imperative to have insoluble, soluble fibre, minerals and protein in our food which is obtained from the use of different types of grains in food - coarse grains such as Barley, Finger millets, Pearl millets, Maize, Buckwheat and different types of pulses & legumes in their whole form. We can classify or purchase these grains and pulses as suitable according to the variety and season in our region.
Antioxidants, Vitamins, and Minerals that do not allow the formation of harmful radicals (free radicals) in the body and develop antibodies which help to remove or stop the formation of free radicals and enhance the body's immunity. And for this, it is necessary to have the right amount of seasonal vegetables and fruits on our food plate, in the amendment of the National Institute of Nutrition, it has been said that a person should have at least three hundred grams of vegetables and fruits per day so that human can keep their digestive system healthy, and to balance metabolic rate.
By including different types of vegetables and fruits like raw turmeric, raw papaya, different types of cabbage, carrots, green leafy vegetables, green onion, onion, garlic, ginger, tomato, gooseberry, papaya and different types of citrus fruits we can get all required vitamins and minerals.
A variety of micronutrients such as vitamin E, selenium, copper, zinc, and folic acid contribute to preventing the possibility of cancer and provide protection, hence it becomes very necessary ensuring the amount of these micronutrients in the diet. And to complete the requirement of micronutrients, we should consume different types of seeds and nuts such as peanuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds and flaxseeds every day.
