Cancer cells are formed in our body every day, but a strong immune system does not allow them to grow. When the defense mechanism weakens, conditions become favorable for the disease.
Demokrat.az reports that renowned oncologist William Li has revealed the names of four main foods that strengthen the body's defense system. According to the doctor, microscopic cancer cells are constantly formed but are immediately destroyed by a healthy immune system. The main danger arises during chronic inflammations caused by factors such as smoking or excessive exposure to the sun.
William Li stated that some products help to increase the body's defense power.
"Food does not directly protect against cancer. I want to clarify this. Food helps strengthen the body's ability to fight cancer cells and inflammation," he noted.
The oncologist's list includes soy, tomato, apple, and various berries. Li explained that these products contain many vitamins, polyphenols, and antioxidants that are essential for the normal functioning of the immune system.
In other words, healthy nutrition is not a direct medicine but an important means that helps the body build its own shield against diseases.
