Detoxifier Diet And Benefits-1

Detoxifier Diet

For that life to be processed in perfect health state is necessary that the body develops to perfection each and every one of its mechanisms, of which the vast majority are completely unknown to us ( even if it hurts recognize ).

Nutrients assimilation and elimination of morbid substances are two of the most important functions that the body must develop to keep its vital energy.


Nutrients are obtained by the body primarily through food and drink we consume and the air we breathe. Once these foods are eaten, the same body, true living laboratory, is responsible for separating, break down and manage everything properly to ensure proper supply of all necessary substances to all organs.


This assimilation process is a priority within the organic functions, as the metabolic burden is constant and must be continually replaced cells, tissues, etc.


But to carry out digestion through the digestive system, the body consumes a certain amount of energy, larger or smaller depending on the amount and food composition. Indeed, liver, stomach, pancreas and intestines work together to this end spending each corresponding energy quantity.


In parallel, another important mechanism for the elimination or excretion, also develops continuously, since metabolites or waste generated by metabolism , are generated continuously.


Elimination systems, mainly kidneys, liver, skin and intestines, work according to the energy at their disposal. Since digestion consumes a lot of energy and this process is a priority, the removal will be much less effective if we overload the digestive system. Not only that, but also, an overloaded and feverish digestive system is in itself a source of toxins.


But what happens when we interrupt food intake? The energy amount assigned to the digestio is freed for other uses. Gradually , the organism assigns to other processes, especially elimination, and that's when begin to occur cleansing crisis. Numerous toxic compounds which for years our body had loaded and stored in various parts of the body ( such as uric acid in the joints ) and in the blood begin to be effectively eliminated.


This causes discomfort, which is common that during fasting occur unpleasant or painful symptoms. This should be interpreted primarily as the the disease worsening until now latent.


The symptoms are a sign that we are starting to get rid of these morbid substances that our body had loaded since God knows when.


Fasting is tremendously healing. Consists in remove all food, consuming only water and tea. 2 or 3 liters per day are recommended. Many chronic diseases have submitted due to  fasting. But even so, it is a method that should always be done under medical surveillance for the risks involved.


Fortunately there are other methods to get the healing power of fasting without suppressing its benefits.

Natural Fiber Against Cancer

The term fiber is used to cover several vegetable substances such as lignin and a series of carbohydrates such as cellulose or hemicellulose.

Most of these compounds are from the vegetables cell walls, which we can deduce that no fruit juices contain fiber. We could also include in this definition other polysaccharides such as pectin, mucilages or gums.


All these substances are more or less digestible, except cellulose, although it is perfectly digested by herbivores, the human digestive system is unable to transform. Fiber is found mainly in whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Fiber generally has a lot hydratability, which swells when mixed with water.


This fact, coupled with no cellulose transformation results in fecal volume increase. Thus, the intestine is mechanically stimulated, greatly facilitating the movements. All this makes the fiber in a large intestinal protector.


On the one hand improves intestinal transit, as to increase the dregs volume, regulates the evacuation frequency and on the other hand, clean the intestine of toxic products: sweeps carcinogens products and prevents the undesirable putrefaction formation. Thus acts favorably on the bacterial flora. Also reduce the transit time, also hinders the fats absorption.


Furthermore the fiber metabolism produces compounds that decrease the bile salts toxicity, considerably reducing their power carcinogen. Therefore, it is a great anticancer agent especially prevnting colorectal cancer.


It has been shown that fiber excess can also be harmful because it can cause an exaggerated fecal volume excessively that irritate the gut. However , this excess is only possible through the dietary fiber preparations overuse. Eating cereals, fruits and vegetables in their natural state.it is no danger fiber overdose.

Vegetable Oils And Antioxidants For Cancer

Vegetable Oils And Antioxidants

Free radicals formation  by olive oil peroxidation is much lower than in case of other vegetable oils. Sunflower oil , rapeseed, soybean, etc. Form by cooking at relatively low temperatures a compound called acrolein which is a powerful carcinogen.

However olive oil is decomposed at much higher temperatures, with much less produced acrolein amount. Therefore, it stands to reason that you should usually use olive oil , particularly for frying, in detriment of other oils. Olive oil to which we are referring is obviously obtained by first cold pressing.


Refined olive or mixed is not recommended at all, it is a product manufactured and chemically denatured.
In the case of sunflower or soya, for example, it is usual in its production using caustic alkali ( such as caustic soda ) to remove called unsaponifiable lipids.


Linoleic acid causes excessive bolus thickening, which does not happen with oleic acid. Another advantage of the olive oil is that contains a compound called squalene, which does not appear in any other natural fat, except shark oil. Besides this anti-cancer compound, contains other substances that prevent cancer development.


Also contain antioxidants such as vitamin E and polyphenols. W-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids are found primarily in vegetable oils. W-3 fatty acids are found mostly in oily fish fat (salmon, mackerel , sardines, etc. ), and some vegetables such as soy or nuts.


Essential fatty acids supply is ensured by regular olive oil consumption, because this oil contains between 4% and 20% of these fatty acids, aside from oleic acid.


Therefore it is strongly recommended intake olive oil of first grip, oily fish, peanuts, tree nuts or soy. Should also be consume oil fruits (almonds, hazelnuts , etc.). sparingly, and always raw, unroasted.


Should avoid all other vegetable oils, and refined olive oil or mixed. The vegetable margarines should be replaced by butter.

In case that really want to bring out a good preventive program, it would be advisable to make appropriate dietary changes gradually,because a sudden change would increase the chances of failure.


Instead, the progressive changes tend to be more durable. In the case of an already formed tumor, should accelerate this change, it is important to act quickly.

Fat Cholesterol And Blood Triglycerides

Fat, Cholesterol And Triglycerides

These last two are called w-3 polyunsaturated ( omega-3 ) fatty acids, while the rest are called polyunsaturated w -6 ( omega-6 ).

In relation to cholesterol, saturated animal fat intake appears to be a major factor in the LDL level increase, thus being animal fat a food that should be eaten with caution.


There are also not only foods that containing saturated fat , but rather also fat in cholesterol form. As principal, we can mention the brains, egg yolk, or kidneys.

Butter contains less cholesterol than margarine, milk contains very little, and yogurt seems even promote its elimination according to recent studies. As for the meat ( not greasy ), pork is which more have cholesterol content.

Fruits and vegetables contain no cholesterol at all. Anyway not be fanatical with this topic, because that would produce us stress that we could raise cholesterol.


What I find interesting is maximum meat consumption rationalization and especially animal fats. If the saturated fatty acids have a negative effect on cholesterol levels, unsaturated produce the opposite effect.

Vegetable oils consumption has been shown to be an effective method for reducing the triglycerides amount and LDL, while the HDL does not reduce. Also produce a change in the LDL composition that becomes less oxidizable, thus likely decreases considerably atherogenesis.

They also protect the cardiovascular system and rinsing the blood and decreasing platelet aggregation, thereby decreasing the clots formation likelihood.

The body can produce monounsaturated fatty acids,but  polyunsaturated  come exclusively from the diet, so they are called essential fatty acids.

Although so I said above, polyunsaturated are imperative, it has been shown that an excess of w-6 fatty acids may increase the risk of carcinogenesis and cardiovascular disease.

However , this problem is not observed in the use of monounsaturated or polyunsaturated w-3 fatty acids. It has also noted the negative effect of excess polyunsaturated generally on the immune system.

Olive oil is basically composed by oleic acid, which is monounsaturated, while in the other vegetable oils ( soybean, sunflower, canola, corn , etc . ) predominate w-6 polyunsaturated, particularly linoleic acid. Peanut also contains a high oleic acid percentage.

Saturated-Unsaturated Fatty Acids And Cancer

Fatty Acids And Ldl Cholesterol Levels

The problem exists when LDL cholesterol levels are too high ,because within reasonable limits its presence is positive. In addition, high fat content (any type ) increases blood coagulability, thus increasing thrombosis risk.

For to atherogenesis occur LDL needs to be excessive. But free radicals are responsible for oxidizing this LDL ( peroxidation), which will be trapped in the artery wall.


The presence of antioxidants, thus reduce the arteriosclerosis risk.


It appears that the grapes ingestion( Vitis vinifera) prevents cholesterol from sticking to arteries due to a component present in the skin and seeds. Anyway, it seems to be a close relationship between high LDL and cancer.


Simple fats are composed of one glycerol  molecule ( glycerine alcohol analogue ), which are attached to one, two or three fatty acids, depending on whether is a monoglyceride, a diglyceride or a triglyceride. In nature state, fats are composed by triglycerides.


By the industrial process called hydrogenation, monoglycerides and diglycerides are produced, which are less healthy. Regarding fatty acids are compounds which define the fat quality: density, digestibility, etc.


Fatty acids are divided into saturated and unsaturated according contain or not unsaturations ( unpaired carbon or with double bond ) in the molecule. Within the unsaturated, we can distinguish between monounsaturated, with an unsaturation, and polyunsaturated, with more than one unsaturation.


Thus, fats consist mainly of saturated fatty acids are called saturated fat,while those that are formed predominantly by unsaturated fatty acids are known asunsaturated fats ( monounsaturated or polyunsaturated ).

Saturated fats are generally solid and from animal origin ( lards ), while unsaturated are generally from plant origin and liquid (oils ). In the said hydrogenation process, fat unsaturations are removed from vegetable fats on the basis of hydrogen atoms, thus obtaining the unhealthy solid hydrogenated vegetable fat,such as margarines and other compounds.


Examples of saturated fatty acids palmitic acid, stearic acid, lauric acid and myristic acid. The main monounsaturated fatty acid is the oleic acid . Examples of polyunsaturated fatty acids can mention linoleic acid, gamma linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, eicosapentoico or docosahexaenoic acid.

Relationship Between Fat, Cholesterol And Cancer

Cholesterol And Cancer

It is a proven fact that cardiovascular diseases are closely related to cancer, so that anything that increases the risk for cardiovascular disease, also increase the cancer risk.

Hence high cholesterol predispose tumor formation. This is the explanation of why high intake of fat (especially animal) is so tied to carcinogenesis.


But what is cholesterol and how to increase its blood level? We could define cholesterol how a complex fat product that is part of all cells, which is necessary for the hormones and vitamin D formation.

Also plays a role in digestion, as part of the bile juices. To ensure an adequate level of cholesterol, the liver produces about one gram daily of this substance .


The rest comes from diet. The problem comes when an abnormality in the metabolic processes of lipids or a poor diet, the level of blood cholesterol rises too high, since the body as it is not easy remove quickly this excess.


The major route of cholesterol elimination is its conversion into bile salts,which are discharged into the intestine and reabsorbed later, losing only a small part in the dregs. This is why the elimination is slow, and excessive levels can be durable.


When this happens, there is a tendency to atherogenesis, or fatty deposits formation on artery walls, with consequent narrowing andarterial stiffness(arteriosclerosis ), thus increasing the cardiovascular diseases risk and cancer, as we have said before.


One of the known causes that may cause malfunctions in the metabolism of fat is stress. Also a sedentary lifestyle, or excessive fatty foods consumption, especially animal can shoot cholesterol levels.


A study by Dr. John McDougall Hospital of St. Helena (California ) showed that a 12-day diet based on foods with no cholesterol, along with some moderate exercise and more or less effective stress elimination can reduce approximately 11% the blood cholesterol level. This reduction leads to a 25 % lower of coronary heart disease risk.


Cholesterol is basically divided into two types: high-density lipoprotein (HDL ) or "good" cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL )  or "Bad" cholesterol. The presence of the first type does not imply any danger, because rather protects against cardiovascular diseases.

Zinc And Enzymes Against Free Radicals-2

Enzymes


Due the manipulation to which are subjected industrial foods, little enzymes arrive intact the final product. We stress once again the need to consume as much natural food as possible and less manipulated.

Dr. Ernst Freund could check that in the cancer patients blood that studied were missing 3 important enzymes. Recent research has uncovered the role of two of these enzymes, one of which is very important in antitumor struggle, considering that the tumors are wrapped in a layer of fibrin to avoid recognition by the immune system, the role of this enzyme is very useful because its presence causes the generation of macrophages that break this fibrin layer, thus leaving the tumor at the mercy of natural killer cells.


It has been tested with additional contributions from enzymes in a large number of people, without having observed any side effects, since enzymes are not drugs but rather food.


This supplement revealed, according to Dr. A. E. eskovar a 700% increase in the number of macrophages, and 1.300 % in the number of lymphocytes murderers.


Studies performed in Europe have shown that by using enzymes can stop the early tumors growth, orally administered by injecting the compound enzyme in the tumor.


Dr. Chin Po Kim, renowned immunologist, cited a total mortality of 23% in cancer's patients treated solely based in enzyme supplements.


This is about the same cipher as present in the patients treated with the conventional methods of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with the important difference that the enzyme treatment does not produce the unpleasant side effects of the conventional methods.


At the same time, other studies have shown that enzymes use in conjunction with chemotherapy and / or radiation therapy significantly improves the patient response and reduces the allopathic treatment's side effects.

Zinc And Enzymes Against Free Radicals-1

Zinc

Zinc is an essential element for good cell divisions quality. It is necessary for the formation of over 100 different enzymes. Promotes B lymphocytes formation.  Zinc deficiency causes thymus gland atrophy.

For all these reasons it is a vital element for the immune system. A study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology showed that animals fed on a diet low in zinc are more likely to get cancer than those who have been fed with plenty of zinc.


Enzymes
The biochemical compounds called enzymes are basic to ensure the vital functions of each and every one of our vital organs. If we consider the body as a chemical factory, we realize the enzymes' importance, because they are necessary to ensure all actions and biochemical reactions that occur in it.

Neither vitamins or minerals, or proteins, or any nutrient could be used effectively by body if not for enzymes. The immune system also needs them to carry out its functions in defense.

If a fall occurs at the enzymes level in the body, the immune system is weakened. The enzymes also act against free radicals.

Since enzymes have a limited life, must be replaced regularly. How? There are nine basic enzymes from food, which the organism is responsible for ansforming into more than 3,000 different varieties of them for different purposes.

The enzymes' formation by the body depends of the person vitality, for example, has been observed that on average people over 70 have in their body half enzymes that young people with 20 year olds.


Unfortunately when cooking foods at temperatures above 48 ° C , occurs the enzymes' destruction. That is why we recommend taking raw vegetables and unprocessed, natural whenever possible.

Free Radicals Effects And Antioxidants-2

Antioxidants and free radicals-2

Vitamin C
There are many functions that makes this compound in our body. Present basically in acidic fruits,it is a potent anticancer protector, as appear to show dozens of studies in worldwide.

Besides its antioxidant action, is an immune system strengthener. It also plays an important role as a liver detoxifier.

Exist substances called nitrosamines formed in the intestinal tract as a result of the interaction between the nitrates and nitrites present in the food and digestive juices amines. These resulting compounds are possibly carcinogenic.


Vitamin C blocks forming these nitrosamines in the digestive tract, protecting again tumor formations. Nitrites and nitrates can be found in many fruits and vegetables ( which also provide neutralizing vitamin C ), and smoked and cured foods.

It has been found that smoked foods can cause cancer, especially gastric due to a powerful carcinogen called benzopyrene.


Vitamin E
This is the most effective antioxidant against free radicals. Like vitamin C, is a immune system strengthening  and blocks the nitrosamines formation.


Folic acid
Although there are not very concrete data, it appears that folic acid (also known as vitamin B9) helps fight certain cancer types, especially colorectal cancer. It is curious that in the Middle Ages it was used with great bread yeast ( rich in vitamin B) to "reduce the lumps".


Vitamin supplements
The best way to take vitamins is through food, especially fruits and vegetables. Therefore we should have a preference for this form of vitamins in detriment of laboratory vitamin preparations. There are numerous studies demonstrating the ineffectiveness of these preparations compared to natural products rich in vitamins.


According to two studies conducted respectively by the National Cancer Institute and the U.S. Public Health Institute of Finland, synthetic vitamin supplements off the diet do not have protection function against cancer.


Selenium
It has been seen that in areas where the soil is rich in selenium there is less incidence of cancer. In these areas, the vegetables can absorb it, thereby increasing human consumption of this element. Experiences  in laboratory have confirmed this hypothesis. Would be interesting to fertilize the soil with some natural product rich in selenium, to increase the plants' anticancer power.

Free Radicals Effects And Antioxidants-1

Effects Of Free Radicals

Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable oxygen molecules that are constantly formed in the body as metabolism waste products. Billion of them are formed constantly. Its effect is harmful and destructive acting on any tissue type.

Among the devastating effects of free radicals, we can find cellular irritations of all kinds, premature aging, cholesterol oxidation, which facilitate the atheroma formation or arterial lipid deposits (atherosclerosis ), mutations in cellular DNA, which can unleash a cancer, etc. Definitely, its role is highly undesirable.


Free radicals and antioxidants
Fortunately, there is another type of molecules that are responsible for neutralizing the free radicals effects: we are talking about antioxidants. These compounds are used by the body to effectively protect from attack by free radicals.


All the antioxidants consists of enzymes, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other compounds that are linked and combined with free radicals, robbing them their danger effects .


At the end of the chapter a food table by which we can verify that a healthy and natural diet generates fewer free radicals and provide more antioxidants to the body. On the contrary, poor diet and unnatural life provide few antioxidants  and generate a large amount of free radicals.


We will now see what are the most important antioxidants.

Beta -carotene and Vitamin A
Beta-carotene is a substance that can be found in some vegetables, such as carrots or cabbage. Its antioxidant action is powerful. The body can easily convert beta - carotene into vitamin A, and although both substances are essential for life, many researchers believe that it is precisely the beta -carotene who actively protect us against cancer.


Beta carotene benefits
Researchers  of the John Hopkins University concluded that people who have low levels of this substance in the blood, have 4 times higher of getting cancer risk than those who have much higher levels. Other studies corroborate this result, confirming that vitamin A and beta- carotene protect very effectively against tumors.


In addition to the preventive effects of these substances, it has been shown that they can also reverse the growth of already existing tumors. Some cancers have been cured by treatments with carrot and onion.
