Introduction About Cancer

Cancer is a disease caused by the growth of body tissue cells that are not normal. Cancer cells will grow rapidly, out of control, and will continue to divide, then infiltrate the surrounding tissues (invasive) and continue to spread through the connective tissue, blood, and attacking vital organs and spinal cord.

Under normal circumstances, cells will only divide if no replacement cells that have died and broken. In contrast, cancer cells will divide continues even though the body does not need it, so it will happen accumulation of new cells. Stacking the cells are urgent and damage normal tissue, thus disturbing the organs they occupy.

The growth of abnormal cells need to be inhibited by the use of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy arise because these drugs are very strong, and not only kill cancer cells, but also attack healthy cells, especially cells that divide rapidly. Some side effects caused by the treatment is hair loss, disorders of the bone marrow is decreased hemoglobin, platelets, and white blood cells, making the body weak, tired feeling, shortness of breath, easy bleeding, and can easily become infected, the skin turns blue / black, dry, and itchy, at the mouth and throat are canker sores, dry feel, and difficulty in swallowing, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain digestive tract, impaired hormone production resulting in lower fertility.

Strawberries is Potential to Prevent Cancer

Foods that contain antioxidants, free radical fighter, so far believed to protect the body from cancer hazard. One of the potentially cancer-fighting fruit is strawberries.

Research conducted in China showed that people at high risk of esophageal cancer are able to avoid the disease after a routine eating strawberry fruit extracts.

Researchers examined the benefits of strawberries in humans after animal research in the laboratory experiments showed that fruit tastes sour and fresh it has anti-cancer benefits.

In many cases, esophageal cancer develops from precancerous lesions, ranging from mild, moderate and most severe stage. Of the 36 participants who ate the strawberry powder for 6 months, 29 people have improved staging, for example of the scale are becoming lighter.

"The results of this study are very encouraging because strawberries shown to reduce the histology of precancerous lesions and reduce the rate of cell division of cancer cells and inflammatory".

But researchers do not advocate strawberries rush to fight cancer. Required large-scale studies, more rigorous, and involves varying the number of respondents needed to determine whether it is effective in preventing cancer strawberries or placebo.
