Cancer is a disease cause by abnormal cell growth that divides uncontrollably, causing cancer to spread to various organs of the body, whether it spreads through lymphatic system or distant tissues. This causes patients with this disease to start showing symptoms.
We would like to be a part in raising awareness for all women about ‘cervical cancer’ that can be a silent danger in the body in the early stages. In this UFABET, we have compiled good nutrients for women that help reduce the risk of developing cervical cancer. The main important nutrients include foods that are high in antioxidants, carotenoids, flavonoids, or folate.
Cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli and cauliflower, are rich in compounds call indole- 3, carbinol and sulforaphane, which increase the secretion of estrogen, which is associat with breast cancer .
Carotenoids: are important antioxidants that help prevent various diseases, boost immunity, and help maintain eyesight, prevent cataracts, and are another important nutrient that reduces the risk of cervical cancer.
- Foods rich in carotenoids: Carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, and cantaloupe, etc.
High-fiber, low-calorie foods: We has found that getting at least 10 grams of natural fiber per day can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 7%. The reason for this is that natural fiber helps reduce the concentration of bad estrogen hormones in the body. Foods that are rich in natural fiber and low in calories are found in legumes. Such as white beans, pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, pecans, walnuts, and pistachios.
Flavonoids: are a rich source of antioxidants and can also help reduce inflammation and boost the body’s immune system. Foods high in flavonoids can help reduce the risk of cancer, neurological diseases, and heart disease.
- Foods containing flavonoids: onions, tea, strawberries, grapes, cabbage, parsley, apples, broccoli, and spinach, etc.
Folate or vitamin B9 is an important nutrient for the formation of blood vessels and growth of body cells. It also helps reduce the risk of cancer. It is also good for women who are in the early stages of pregnancy. Because folate helps reduce the risk of brain and spinal abnormalities in the fetus.
- Foods rich in folate: avocado, bananas, asparagus, eggs, orange juice, cabbage, and lentils, among others.
In addition to eating well and exercising. It is still necessary to regularly check for signs of physical deterioration according to age. Because cancer is not only cause by genetics, the environment around us can also trigger it. As we have seen, people who take good care of themselves still get cancer. Therefore, we should take care of ourselves along with health check-ups.
