Combat Cancer and Obesity with food

Key Points     Research suggests anti-angiogenesis, which blocks new blood vessel growth, may help combat obesity and cancer by limiting tumor and fat tissue expansion. It seems likely that certain foods like green tea, berries, and turmeric have anti-angiogenic properties, potentially supporting health, but human evidence is limited. The evidence leans toward lifestyle factors like diet and exercise influencing angiogenesis, though effects on pathological conditions are complex and debated. Controversy exists around claiming dietary changes alone can treat diseases, as more research is needed for conclusive results. Introduction to Anti-Angiogenesis Let’s dive in, Anti-angiogenesis is the process of inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels, known as angiogenesis. This is crucial because tumors and expanding fat tissues rely on new blood vessels for nutrients and oxygen to grow. By blocking this, we might slow cancer progression and limit obesity, making it a p...
