Have you heard of such an illness as cancer? Of course, you have. What might be new for you is that it’s part of you. While you are reading this summary, your body is developing cancer. If your cells make mistakes and divide incorrectly, microscopic tumors begin to grow. Nobody is perfect, nor is your body. It makes mistakes about ten thousand times daily, which is a staggering number. But there's hope! You are capable of preventing the growth of those “small cancers.”

There is a natural system that copes with it called angiogenesis. It prevents cancer from growing by producing and maintaining blood vessels. They normally carry nutrients and oxygen to your organs. If your body makes mistakes, these blood vessels can deliver nutriment to microscopic cancers. This fuels tumor growth, dissemination, and invasion of your organs. Here, angiogenesis comes into play. It controls where and when blood vessels grow, preventing tumors from becoming dangerous. You can make it even more effective by optimizing your daily diet. Just try including some products.

One such food is broccoli. It has unique compounds called brassinin and sulforaphane. They actively fight against cancer. Harvard University's research shows that people who eat one to two cups of broccoli per week have a lower risk of ovarian and prostate cancer and melanoma (dangerous skin cancer). If you want to reduce cancer risks, add broccoli to your meals. Your body will thank you, and you'll be taking a positive step toward a healthier life.

Another excellent fuel for your anti-cancer mechanism is hidden in soybeans. These humble legumes greatly affect angiogenesis. They have a unique substance called genistein that struggles against cancer. In a study by the University of Heidelberg 1993, researchers discovered that genistein can stop the blood vessels that feed tumors. It can even slow down the growth of different cancer cells, like Ewing's sarcoma. To get the cancer-fighting benefits, it's recommended to have at least 10 grams of soy protein every day. Add soy-based foods like tempeh, soy yogurt, soy nuts, and soy-based meat into your meals.
