Stomach c.a.n.c.e.r is a silent and slowly developing disease which is often f.a.t.a.l and difficult to treat once it reaches the advanced stages. This is why it’s very important to recognize the symptoms on time in order to increase your chances of survival.
Despite all the advances medicine has made in recent decades, it still hasn’t found a cure for c.a.n.c.e.r. The chances of recovery are high only in cases of early detection, which isn’t always possible. People usually ignore the symptoms or mistake them for something else, which is why the disease is so deadly. Stomach c.a.n.c.e.r is a result of uncontrolled abnormal cell growth in the stomach which results in tumors in the mucosal and muscular area. One of the most common stomach c.a.n..c.e.r types is adenocarcinoma. Here are the most common symptoms of stomach c.a.n.c.e.r:
- Blood in the stool;
- Anemia;
- Fatigue;
- Irregular bowel movements;
- Vomiting and nausea;
- Lack of appetite;
- Feeling full after small meals;
- Constant pain in the abdomen.
As you can see, the symptoms are not very specific, which is why people usually ignore them, making a mistake that could prove to be f.a.t.a.l.
Stomach c.a.n.c.e.r can, however, be prevented. Avoiding processed and sugary foods as well as red and grilled meat as much as you can is recommended by most experts. Doctors recommend following a healthy diet rich in foods that contain fiber and other nutrients as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. You need to increase the consumption of turmeric as well – this special spice has numerous health benefits, including the prevention of c.a.n.c.e.r.
Although beneficial, turmeric isn’t really bioavailable. To increase its absorption rate and allow it to pass the intestinal barrier, it needs to be mixed with black pepper or ginger as well as olive oil. Black pepper can boost the bioavailability of turmeric by 2000%, which makes it an ideal addition to the spice. Here’s a simple recipe that will help you benefit from turmeric properly.
You will need:
- ¼ teaspoon of turmeric
- ½ teaspoon of olive oil
- A pinch of black pepper
Preparation and use:
It’s simple – just mix the ingredients together and consume the mixture or add it to your salads. However, make sure not to cook the spicy mixture as it will lose its benefits. Consume it several times a day to boost your immune system and prevent the development of stomach c.a.n.c.e.r.
