In a perfect life wouldn't it be sweet if you could just eat tasty fruits, chocolates and vegetables to lower your risk of cancer? Well that is no fantasy, it's a reality with Anti-angiogenesis!
Anti-angiogenesis is an angiogenesis inhibitor substance that inhibits the growth of new blood vessels . Some angiogenesis inhibitors are a normal part of the body's control, some are administered as drugs, and some come from diet. These foods include, lots of fruits, vegetables, dark chocolate and many of other foods. The reason that anti angiogenesis is important to the prevention of cancer is that when you have cancer cells or tumors growing angiogenesis occurs. creating new blood vessels to feed the cells and tumors and spiking growth of the cancer cells and growing the tumor to deadly size. When Anti-angiogenesis happens this reverses the supply of blood to the cancerous cells and reducing the danger of any cancer cells.
My reaction to these foods engaging Anti angiogenesis makes me wish that I knew about it 8 years ago when I was 8 I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. I think that practicing angiogenesis would have benefited me. Today almost all of the foods that I eat today are Anti Angiogenic. This gives me hope that cancer can be lessened from just doing things as simple as eating healthier will reduce my risk of future cancer. When I get elderly I will practice antiangiogenesis to the most extreme of extents to make sure that I don't get common cancers that occur when people get elderly.
This has been a beneficial mini project and I have taken away some helpful new knowledge.
