Causes of cancer:-
1. Smoking is very often the main cause of cancer. It kills
us silently and drains money from us quietly. There're 4,000
harmful chemicals (though in diluted form) in one stick of
cigarette. Taking one puff is 600 times worst than inhaling
the exhaust fumes from vehicles.
2. Some food that
cause cancer are:
2.1 Barbecued Food
2.2 Deep Fried Food
2.3 Overheating Meat
2.4 Food that is high in fat causes our bile to secrete acid
that contains a chemical which is a promoter of cancer cells.
2.5 Food that contains preservatives, too much salt or nitrates
(e.g. Canned food, Salted egg & veggies, sausages, etc.)
2.6 Overnight Rice (where Aflatoxin is accumulated)
2.7 Food that is low in fibre: Our body needs 25 gm of both
soluble & insoluble fibre daily. We must drink at least 1.5
litres of plain water a day.
2.8 Contaminated Food (e.g. moulded bread causes our body
to secrete toxins that may eventually lead to liver cancer
in the long run. Never eat bread that is kept in room temperature
for more than 2 days especially in a humid weather like Singapore's.
3. Types of fat and
the best of them
3.1 Highly Recommended for Health:-
i. Olive Oil - The best of all oils. It does not absorb in
our body.
ii. Fish Oil - Omega 3 (contained in NI's Circulytes) haspoly-unsaturated
fat. It's good for our brain cells.
iii. Peanut Oil - It contains Vitamin E. A small dosage is
recommended only.
3.2 Not Recommended for Health
i Vegetable Fat - Palm oil is worst than coconut oil. It is
high in cholesterol and highly unsaturated.
ii Coconut Oil - It has saturated fat.
4. Specific Food & Beverages
4.1 Egg when eaten too much can cause High Colon Cancer. Risk
Ovary Cancer, Prostate Cancer.
4.2 Cabbage is highly recommended for health reason.
4.3 Tomato is best eaten raw with a bit of olive oil for better
absorption. Other alternative is to take tomato sauce.
4.4 Coffee is good because it contains 2 anti-oxidants. Inhaling
the coffee aroma for half each day is equivalent to eating
two oranges a day. However, the residue of over-burned coffee
is extremely bad for health. It can cause cancer.
4.5 Tea, as long as it is in its original tea leaves and not
processed into BOH or Lipton packets, it is good for health.
Tea contains 30 anti-oxidants. Recommended dosage is 4 cups
a day.
