Cancer is still a frightening specter many people. However, many people actually believe cancer can be prevented. According to the eastern-style methods, by increasing the body's immune system, we can fight cancer cells are attacked.
Armed with these beliefs, a lymphatic cancer patient from Semarang, Cahyaning Puji Astuti, trying to fight a disease gnawing his body. In fact, the woman who was familiarly called Naning active and contagious spirit of the recipe to fight cancer. He also became Chairman of the Cancer Information and Support Center (CISC) Semarang.
Through a simple forums organized by CISC Semarang cooperation with various parties, Naning always involved to transmit important information related cancers, including the benefits of vegetables as a cancer preventative.
"Fruits and vegetables are actually much more powerful to prevent the cancer disease compared with vitamins, but keep in mind that not all vegetables and fruits are anticancer," said the mother of two children.
According to him, at least about 11 vegetables that have been proven effective as an anticancer, including cabbage, garlic, onions, soy, turmeric, green tea, tomatoes, citrus, chocolate, fruits and berries and strawberries.
However, he said, although fruits and vegetables is efficacious as anticancer, still required vigilance and understanding of substances contained in vegetables, including notice processing process.
Cabbage is the main enemy of cancer, either green cabbage, white cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, watercress, cabbage and purple. "In fact, efficacy of cabbage has been known since the time of Hippocrates circa 460-377 BCE," he said.
"Hippocrates said cabbage is a vegetable with thousands of properties, and consume at least five servings of cabbage per week proved to be minimize the risk of cancer and slow the progression of cancer," he said.
Cabbage Khasiat to prevent various cancers are also justified by the Dean of the Faculty of Agricultural Technology Soegijapranata Unika Semarang, Ita Sulistyowati, because sprouts contain compounds called glukosinolat.
"Glukosinolat able to reduce the risk of cancer as well as to tame the cancer cells are abnormal, and glukosinolat content may increase or decrease depending on the processing, began to wash, cut, until boiling," he said.
Therefore, despite its great efficacy as anticancer, cabbage processing must still be noted in order not to remove Khasiatnya, including washing, cooking is not too long, and chew carefully.
Naning again mentioned, garlic and onions were also very effective for preventing cancer, especially gastrointestinal cancer, esophagus, stomach, colon, prostate, lung, and breast cancer.
"Benefits of cancer prevention can be found also in a lot of soybeans processed into tofu, tempeh, and milk, because soy contains isoflavones which are anticancer compounds that are structurally similar to sex hormones," he said.
Because of the similarity in structure between isoflavones compounds with the sex hormones, making the pattern of excessive soy intake is not recommended for patients with breast cancer and prostate cancer.
"Because, both the cancer (breast and prostate, ed.) Is a type of cancer is highly dependent on the productivity levels of the hormone, a hormone estrogen to breast cancer and hormone androgen for prostate cancer," he said.
Compared with the consumption of drugs or vitamins to prevent cancer, consumption of fruits and vegetables are much more profitable, both in terms of effectiveness, convenience, and consideration of the budget spent.
Fruits and vegetables are a lot cheaper commodities found in various regions in Indonesia, because Indonesia is a fertile area, "Gemah Ripah jinawi loh", and a rich diversity of natural resources.
However, in addition to eating fruits and vegetables anticancer, recipe for avoiding the risk of cancer can be done by avoiding certain foods, like smoked foods, salted, and fried foods.
"Regular exercise, not smoking, and avoiding consumption of red meat is also a way and a healthy lifestyle that should be applied to prevent cancer,"
