Cancer is an evasive disease that can take over your whole body and sometimes even take your life. The “cure” that the medical profession prescribe can make you feel terrible. Who likes being exposed to radiation and pumped full of toxic chemicals? As with all diseases and illnesses people say “prevention is better than cure.”

One of the main causes of cancer is the build up of toxins in our gut and in our bloodstream. Depleted mineral supplies in the soil where foods are grown, pollution in the earth and air, lack of exercise to keep our bodies performing efficiently; all contribute to the increased incidence of cancer.

ACE your body! That is, protect it with vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E. These are the main antioxidant nutrients your body needs to prevent your internal organs from oxidising (or rusting). A range of colourful vegetables and fruits every day will supply your body with the phytochemicals and minerals it needs to protect your cell membranes from the attack of foreign bacteria and help you build your immune system. Natural colour coded her foods so that each colour serves different but complementary functions in the body.

  • White foods like onion and garlic are antibacterial, antibiotic and antiviral. They are very powerful eliminators of toxins from the body.
  • Leafy greens like spinach, cabbage, brocoli and Chinese vegetables have anti-clogging chemicals that clear your arteries of “rubbish” as they travel through your body.
  • Blue and purple fruits and vegetables contain the antioxidant Anthocyanin – a very power defence against cell damage and attacks on your immune system.
  • Red fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids and flavonoids which convert to vitamin A which help fight cancerous antibodies.
  • Orange/yellow fruits and vegetables are high in vitamin C which supports the immune system.
  • The brown foods group represents fibre which has the important role of absorbing waste from around the body and carrying it to the waste depot for processing.

The combined effect of all these colour groups stop cancer from forming in your body.

Our planet is 70% water and 30% land, our bodies are also 70% water; to maintain this balance we should consume 70% high water content fruit and vegetables, and 30% of other foods which have less water content. The pH (acid-alkali) balance of the human body is 7.4 Vegetables and fruit leave an alkaline ash (pH > 7.0) and animal products leave an acidic ash (pH < 7.0) in the body. Most people consume too many animal products causing the pH to be too acidic. When the pH is balanced the body is able to properly extract vitamins and minerals from food so that it can nourish the body adequately and keep it healthy to fight off disease.

Another important step for preventing cancer is to keep fit and your proper body weight. Exercise is another vital factor in helping your body metabolise or process the food we consume so that nutrients all extracted from them and the unwanted matter is removed from the body.
