brain cancer though It is less common than other cancers, but despite advances in treatment, it remains a concern due to its severity and slow recovery. Although there is no single “magic food” to completely prevent brain cancer, its risk can be reduced by including certain things in the diet.
Dr Praveen Gupta, Principal Director and Chief of Neurology at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, explains that diet plays a vital role in the formation of our body's cells and how the body interacts with potential carcinogens (cancer-causing elements). While no single food guarantees complete protection from brain cancer, including these five superfoods in your diet can certainly reduce the risk.
Jamun
These fruits are rich in antioxidants. Studies suggest they may have anti-cancer properties, potentially inhibiting tumor growth.
Leafy Vegetables
Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts fall into this group. They are rich in sulforaphane, a powerful phytonutrient known to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
Fatty Fish
Salmon, sardines, mackerel and tuna are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA. DHA is important for brain function and also has anti-inflammatory properties. Adding fatty fish to your diet twice a week can be beneficial.
Tomato
The antioxidant lycopene in tomatoes has anti-cancer properties. Studies suggest that lycopene may be beneficial against certain types of cancer.
Turmeric
Turmeric contains anti-inflammatory compounds. It is being researched for its possible role in cancer prevention and treatment.
