Yes to Health! Anti-Angiogenetic Foods

Hi everyone,

My post for today is about the effects of good nutrition on overall health and healing!  Please read - this is important stuff :).

Here is a great TEDTalk about cancer and food therapy: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/william_li.html.

Things I've learned that surprised me:

• All people are born with and carry dormant cancer cells.
• The cells can only grow larger when a group of blood vessels begin to feed it (angiogenesis).
• Certain foods and spices can help to constrict the growth of blood vessels around cancer cells.
• Here is a list of the most effective ANTI-angiogenetic foods:

• Soy extract
• Artichoke
• Parsley
• Berries
• Soy
• Garlic
• Red grapes
• Brassica
• Citrus
• Lavender
• Green tea
• Glucosamine
• Turmeric
• Tea

There are lots of others, but these foods are a great start.  Also, Earl Grey is the most effective tea, so try swapping this for your usual coffee :).   When in doubt - more fruits and veggies!
