Cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases. In the absence of methods of its treatment, prevention comes to the fore. Scientists have proven that proper nutrition significantly reduces the risk of cancer.
Turmeric is a "superfood" that can reduce the growth of cancer cells and kill them, the Daily Express reports. The active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, helps reduce the risk of cancer and stop tumor growth when prescribed along with medication.
Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains can help significantly increase the body's defense against cancer. According to Cancer Research UK, turmeric is an alternative cancer treatment because of its high concentration of antioxidants.
Scientists have proven the ability of curcumin in turmeric to have an anti-cancer effect on tumor cells and in certain cases, to kill them. Studies show that countries where turmeric is widely used as a food have a lower incidence of cancer.
