Cancer of the pancreas, eat one of these nuts every day.

 

Here's a way could not be more simple to reduce the risk of the worst cancers, pancreatic cancer.

Just eat a nut of the Brazil by day.

This information is worth gold because pancreatic cancer is a real s ** perie: 19 out of 20 people die within five years. It is this cancer that killed the boss of Apple, Steve Jobs, last October.
 
A nut that could do better in terms of taste

The the Brazil is this Brown nut outdoors, color of porcelain in the Interior, which has the form of a small neighborhood of Mandarin.

Its taste is bland compared to the nuts of Grenoble, almonds, hazelnuts or Pecans nuts, and it seems well hard and dry at the start. But rich in oil, its texture is revealed melting on the croque and she let finally well snack with a little salt.
 
You find the more often in mixes for an aperitif. Indeed, because its appearance is incredibly stable (nothing is more like a nut of the Brazil than other nuts of the Brazil), industrialists prefer it to other more capricious nuts and try to drag around. And it's so much better for our health.

However, if by drawing your car to return from vacation, you find a nut of the Brazil dating from a picnic improvised driving last year under a Chair, think before oven it: because of its high content of lipid, the nuts of the Brazil rancid easily. This is why you need to consume quickly or, better, hulling oneself. You can also keep them in the freezer, which is also recommended for all nuts. Anyway, the ideal is to buy in small quantities in a store where the inventory turnover is rapid. Finally, for the same reasons, prefer nuts which have retained their brown skin, which protects of Rancidity.

The miracles of the nuts of the Brazil on your cell

The nuts of the Brazil is, by far, the richest food on Earth in selenium. A single nuts brings you daily ration in selenium you need (95 micrograms). And it is here that begins its anti-cancer power.

Selenium is a trace element, that is, you do need that in very small amounts, but you must find it in your food because your body cannot produce itself.

Selenium allows the production of Glutathione-peroxidase, an antioxidant of capital importance to your cells. Glutathione peroxidase is an enzyme that works with vitamin E to protect cell membranes from oxidation by free radicals. And as you know, free radicals, when they are in excess, result in a premature aging and contribute to the appearance of certain types of cancers.

However, precisely, be very rich in selenium, the Brazil nuts are full of vitamin E. It is an excellent thing natural vitamin E much better than the synthetic vitamin E treats, but it is rare in the diet (not found in large quantities in the wheat germ oil, a food that is not found in all the dishes). In addition, researchers believe that only vitamin E natural, which is a learned mixture of eight chemical compounds (for chemists, four tocopherols and four tocotrienols), has a true preventive effect.

Selenium, vitamin E and vitamin C: cocktail cancer of the pancreas

The connection between selenium, vitamin E and vitamin C, the three main antioxidants and cancer prevention has been established the week last by researchers who had recruited 23 500 people for the EPIC (European Prospective Investigation of Cancer ) study).

This study lasted four years and new findings have just been published in a journal of nutrition. (1)

It turns out that during the study, 49 participants have developed cancer of the pancreas, a number that climbed to 86 in 2010.

However, the people part of the quarter with most of selenium in the diet had a decreased risk of half to be affected by cancer of the pancreas, and even reduced two-thirds if they also consumed a lot of vitamin E and vitamin C!

Then, as I do not doubt that you consume already lot of vitamin C as you eat many vegetables and fruits (especially of blueberries and raspberries!), it seemed crucial to say you to add to this excellent diet a Brazil nuts a day, for the selenium and vitamin E.

If you have doubts about your vitamin E intake, you can also make your salad dressing with a little wheat germ oil, or even eating almonds and sunflower seeds. Sprinkled on your salad, it's excellent.
