Cancer-fighting diets are those with lower carbohydrates,
moderate proteins and higher fats.

The Zone, Atkins, modified Atkins and ketogenic diets would
come under this category.


These diets :

1. Restrict calories
2. Reduce insulin secretion
3. Enhance insulin sensitivity
4. Reduce production of IGF-1
5. Reduce production of inflammatory cytokines
which automatically rise as we age - IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, NF-kB


Such properties confer these diets not only with anticancer activity,
they also reduce the incidence of diabetes and extend lifespan.

The Laron dwarfs of Ecuador are unable to produce IGF-1.
Such a ''disability'' render them immune to not only diabetes,
but cancer as well.

Thanks for sharing. Now I know I am in the right track. 4-5 servings of vege for each meal, enough protein and turmeric with green tea every morning.

Well it's pretty simple. Protein at about 0.7g per lbs of lean body mass should already be enough for most people. The rest goes to nutritious carbs and fats.

At 4-5 servings of vegetables per meal you should be meeting adequate vitamin and mineral requirements. Most people should be doing this anyway (or via smoothies / supplements), otherwise they'd be deficient.

If you're meeting your calorie requirements (say 2400 calories per day) and are able to fit in 4-5 servings of various types of vegetables with each meal, that's a great job. I'd love to hear from you on how you incorporate it into a hectic lifestyle.

Different people have different needs. Calorie count is a universal number to know if it's sufficient for someone smile.gif

Cheap only la. I bought my herbs and spice from online. Way cheaper than malaysia's price (those miserable small spice bottles in hypermarket) except for turmeric and ginger which is home made. Buying big bag of spice and herbs can last you 3-4 months compare to buying those small bottles. Coconut oil buy from aeon/aeon big/tesco (buy 2 for price of 1 country farm brand)

Goji berries from pasar malam chinese medicine man.

That's why the cheap one which we all can afford are broccoli, tomato, turmeric, white tea (white tea better than green tea)

Turmeric is tricky as it cannot dissolve in water. Hence the coconut oil and black pepper to help.

No, the low carbohydrate, high fat diets are exactly the opposite.

This guy Dan Buettner doesn't know what he's talking about.

Interesting to note the recent announcement of the MIND diet (short for Mediterranean-Dietary Approach to Systolic Hypertension (DASH) diet intervention for neurodegenerative delay), a hybrid of the popular DASH and Mediterranean Diets. The MIND diet was developed by researchers from Chicago's Rush University Medical Center and Harvard School of Public Health, and funded by the US National Institute on Aging.

Observational studies on adherence to the MIND diet led to significant decline in risk of Alzheimer's, even when adherence was found to be non-strict. The study was published in June 2015 in the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association.

A quick overview written by a qualified scientist can be read here: http://www.askdrray.com/mind-diet-helps-prevent-alzheimers/

A more detailed PowerPoint presentation n salient points of the diet can be found here: http://www.southdenver.com/wp-content/uplo...iet-for-web.pdf

Other quick sources of media-friendly coverage on the MIND Diet available at:

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/849251
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/...50319104218.htm

QUOTE
The MIND diet includes at least three servings of whole grains, a salad and one other vegetable every day — along with a glass of wine. It also involves snacking most days on nuts and eating beans every other day or so, poultry and berries at least twice a week and fish at least once a week. Dieters must limit eating the designated unhealthy foods, especially butter (less than 1 tablespoon a day), cheese, and fried or fast food (less than a serving a week for any of the three), to have a real shot at avoiding the devastating effects of Alzheimer's, according to the study.

tagz8 note: There is no recommendation for consumption of any fruits other than berries.

Some history:

The DASH Diet is currently promoted by the US based National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (part of the National Institutes of Health), particularly for preventing hypertension and lowering high-blood pressure. Other prominent organisations such as The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada also encourage this diet plan.

Whereas the Mediterranean Diet is a way of making health-promoting food choices, with no particular diet plan. In 1993, the non-profit Oldways, together with the Harvard School of Public Health, and the European Office of the World Health Organization introduced the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid. It is now updated periodically by the Barcelona-based Mediterranean Diet Foundation, with consensus of various other organizations.

The latest Mediterranean Diet Pyramid (2010 version) is available at: http://dietamediterranea.com/piramidedm/piramide_INGLES.pdf

It is worthy to note that both the DASH and Mediterranean Diets were promoted in the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published jointly by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Health and Human Services. A major guideline update is due in 2015, and it will be interesting to note if both diets are still given the limelight.

It thus looks promising to adopt a hybrid diet combining research by various leading organizations, substantiated by evidence in high quality scientific papers.

Would be great if there were more of such similar peer-reviewed evidence originating from Asia, possibly leading to enhanced versions of dietary guidelines. The above diets have focused on heart health, and general health, and now optimized for cognitive decline with the announcement of the MIND diet. Would be great if they were optimized further for cancer risks.

What are your thoughts, Tham? Any possibility to combine peer reviewed evidence on cancer prevention diets with the MIND diet findings?

Yeah and white tea also got least caffeine compare to green tea.

When it comes to cancer prevention, white tea may have an advantage over green. Because of white tea’s higher content of some polyphenols, the scientists found it was better than green at mitigating harm done to DNA -- a type of cell damage that can be a precursor to cancer.

One more thing is

A study published in “Molecular Nutrition and Food Research” in 2007 found that adding lemon or soy or rice milk to green tea significantly boosted the body’s absorption of its antioxidants. The National Cancer Institute advises that hot brewed tea has greater concentrations of polyphenols than iced or bottled varieties
