Medical portal reveals properties of 7 food and drinks which stop feeding cancer cells and inhibit the development of tumors. It’s not about starvation, but for a set of universal favorites like red wine, tomatoes, blueberries, curry, black chocolate and green tea.
Scientists claim that these foods can be even more effective than chemotherapy.
What caused their hidden power?
In a few words – they stop the blood supply to the tumor cells, or have anti-angiogenesis properties. Angiogenesis is a normal process of creation of blood vessels in the body. In some periods of your life it is enhanced – for example in newborns, while in adults this function is “unlocked” rarely – such as in wounds when tissues and capillaries need to be restored. Angiogenesis is regulated by activators and inhibitor molecules. Typically, the inhibitors predominate, but it becomes necessary activators of angiogenesis and stimulate increased vascular cell growth for the formation of new blood vessels.
