 Cancer is a tenacious and an extremely hard disease to manage.
The pain, suffering and the costs involved can test the nerves of anyone beyond imagination. Can't we prevent many of these tragedies from hap¬pening in the first place? Why not make a major effort to prevent cancer? Cancer can be prevented and the chances of getting cancer can be reduced by 90% even if you have genetic predisposition to cancer. There are foods that prevent cancer from occuring. The best way to prevent cancer is to go green – in fact go green, red, blue, yellow, orange. Go multi colored in the food you take. Consume plenty of vegetables and fruits of different colors. Reduce intake of all kinds of meat.  The phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables can prevent any type of cancer from occurring. The most popular and first choice of cancer treatment is  Taxol (paclitaxel). It  is a phytochemical initially extracted and purified from the Pacific Yew Tree.  Lycopene found in tomatoes is in clinical trials for cardiovascular diseases and prostate cancer. Human clinical trials have demonstrated that lycopene helps has strong anti-cancer activity. National Cancer Institute of the United States has studied brassica group of vegetables for variety of cancers like breast, prostate, lung, colon, and cervica. They have found that brassica group of vegetables have powerful anti cancer properties. Consume more of brassica vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale and Brussels sprouts for preventing cancer.

We can prevent cancer and we all should. Given that our life expectancy has gone up and we can expect to live 90+ years we have a 30% chance of developing some kind of cancer in our lifetime. It is not wise to wait for this secretive and slowly nurtured disease to arrive before responding to its challenge. Far too many people are the casualties of such an approach. The conventional medical treatments, as everyone knows strive to treat cancer only after it arrives. It is we who must make the effort at cancer prevention.

The prevention of cancer is not a mystery anymore. Most of us know the risk factors and what causes cancer. The powerful defenders of our body against cancer are found in copious abundance in the plant kingdom that surrounds us. These defenders are called phytonutrients. These phytonutrients are so powerful when taken in sufficient number. They have the capacity to dramatically low¬er our probability of ever contracting cancer.

Hundreds of fruits, herbs, and vegetables possess this protec¬tive power. Almost all fruits and vegetables have at least a few protective natural chemicals on the outer surface of their skins or hidden within their pulp or meat. The amount of these phytonutrients rich foods we intake is very important. As much as 50% of the cancer can be prevented by reducing the intake of animal fats and taking more and more of colored foods. Take as much colored foods as you can every day like red tomato, green broccoli, red carrots, berries, orange etc. These colored fruits and vegetables are rich in phytonutrients and act as your first line of defense against cancer.
