Eat as little fast food and ready-made meals as possible. This often contains many trans fats and unhealthy, saturated fats. Foods with many trans fats and unhealthy, saturated fats include pizza, potato chips, biscuits, crackers, fries and donuts.
Eat fish once or twice a week.
Examples of healthy fish are wild salmon, sardines, herring and coalfish (coalfish).
Use olive oil instead of vegetable oil or other unsaturated oil that is cold-pressed while cooking.
Only with cold-pressed oils during the production no use is made of high heat or toxic chemicals.
Look at the food labels for the ingredients.
Avoid all labels marked with 'hydrogenated fat' and 'partially hardened grease'. These fats are usually found in margarine, salad dressings and other packaged foods, even if not all labels mention that there are trans fats.
Add different nuts and seeds to your breakfast cereals, salads, soup or other dishes. Healthy nuts and seeds include walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, pecans and sesame seeds.
Put some flaxseed oil through your smoothie or salad dressing. Do not use flaxseed oil for cooking, as harmful substances are released on heating.
Prepare your food in a healthy way.
Choosing healthy food is not the only thing that counts. Preparing and preserving food is also important. The way you prepare food can mean the difference between healthy and unhealthy food.
Here are some tips that help you get the most out of all those great foods that help fight cancer, including fruits and vegetables:
Eat at least some raw fruits and vegetables.
Raw fruits and vegetables contain the most vitamins and minerals, although cooking vegetables ensures that your body can absorb the vitamins better.
To preserve the vitamins, boil a small amount of water in the steam cooker, after which you boil the vegetables until they are soft.
If you cook vegetables too long, a lot of vitamins and minerals will be lost. If you still cook vegetables, you can use the cooking liquid in a soup or another dish, so that you still get all the vitamins.
Cleaning fruit and vegetables.
Use a vegetable brush to clean fruit and vegetables. If you only rinse them off, then there will always be pesticides left behind. Eat as many organic products as possible that have been grown naturally and that do not use pesticides or genetic manipulation.
Season your dishes with herbs and foods that strengthen your immune system.
Garlic, ginger and curry powder are not only used as seasonings, but also provide valuable nutrients that fight cancer. Other herbs and foods that fight cancer in an effective way include turmeric, basil, rosemary and coriander. These herbs and spices can be added to soup, salad, casserole or any other dish.
Tips for limiting carcinogens.
A carcinogenic substance is a carcinogenic substance in food. Carcinogens can occur during cooking, during the preservation (mainly of meat) and during the spoiling of food. Foods containing carcinogens are, for example, smoked, dried and preserved meat, such as bacon, sausage and beef jerky. (American beef dish of dried meat.)
Other foods that contain carcinogens are fried or burned meat, smoked foods and foods that start to mold. By following the tips below you can limit the exposure to carcinogens:
Do not use oil while cooking on high heat.
By heating oils or fats on a low heat you prevent carcinogenic substances from arising. Instead of frying and baking in the pan, you can also opt for healthier cooking methods, such as baking, cooking, steaming and grilling.
Do not leave the meat on the barbecue for too long.
By leaving meat on the barbecue for too long, carcinogenic substances are created. If you still want to barbecue, do not overfill the meat and prepare it at the right temperature.
Oil is best kept airtight and in a cool, dark place, as it becomes rancid when exposed to heat, light and air and can no longer be used.
Choose fresh meat, preferably organic, grass-fed meat instead of processed meat that has been salted, dried, preserved and smoked.
It is best to avoid foods that look moldy or moldy, since they are all likely to contain the toxic, carcinogenic aflatoxin. This substance usually occurs in moldy peanuts. Nuts last longer if stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
Not all foods are suitable for the microwave. To cover your food in the microwave, you can use the best wax paper instead of plastic foil. Always use cover caps that are suitable for the microwave.
