As discussed in the first article in the "why" of both cancer today, and have said it is a combination of factors, such as genetic, bad habits and healthy eating habits but also the polluted environment, sedentary lifestyle, and stress permanently, leading to cancer development.
We also have to say that as the genetic factor is "backpack" that everyone has brought through inheritance, we can not change but instead there are factors that we can change and that is why in this article we focus on the antidote to this that is constantly looking after a healthy lifestyle, eating habits, physical activity, balance, peace and tranquility in our emotions.
And, as psychology, when it comes to remove or change things we must incorporate that replace other, and that's what we say on, to remove bad habits we have to put other good.
And if we said that the refined, the industrial, packaging it brings us to our health problems, we must then find a replacement and is nothing natural foods, without processes, if possible without much chemical pollution, little foraging contaminated with pesticides, pesticide, etc ...
To say that if you get used to a diet based on fruits, vegetables, legumes, cereals (grains), vegetables, fish, meat (preferably organic), field birds, eggs field of industrial pollution clean environments. And if you get a discipline of daily physical activity for at least 30 minutes, and we used to be more relaxed and calm (ie see life through different eyes), then we have gained considerable ground in the battle against cancer, because all above strengthen our immune system and it will know to react to a possible "invasion of tumor cells."
Some of the food highlights scientific studies against cancer are:

And the ratio is as follows: a quarter tablespoon of turmeric, plus a generous pinch of ground black pepper, plus a quarter teaspoon of olive oil, all mixed and you can add it as a topping to salads, soups or vegetables hot.
BLACK CHOCOLATE
The black chocolate with over 70% cocoa, contains large amounts of antioxidants, proanthocyanidins, and many polyphenols. These molecules suppress the growth of cancer cells and limited angiogenesis.
Consumption of 20 grams of black chocolate per day (1/5 of a tablet) represents an acceptable amount of calories. Please note that should not be taken with dairy products because it cuts the beneficial effects of cocoa molecules. Avoid chocolate milk.
