Cancer is characterized by out-of-control cell growth. Each cancer is classified by the type of cell initially affected. When the human body is formed, there is a stage where all blood vessels are created called angiogenesis, but this activity does not stop after we are born. It is also present when we suffer injuries that cut through our skin, veins, or arteries, and when the need for rebuilding the blood canals arises.

Cancer spread is related to this process, and it is orchestrated by activators and inhibitors. The activators are the ones who promote and boost the vascular growth of cells so that new blood vessels could be created. Five groceries are listed below that help stop cancer growth, and they are anti-angiogenesis.
- The blueberry and raspberry effect;
These two plants are known by their anti-cancer capabilities. The reason why they have their dark hue are called phytochemicals which are proven to be great for cancer prevention. Also, blueberries and raspberries have a decreasing effect on oxidative stress and angiogenesis.
- Coffee and green tea;
Not only do coffee and green tea is the most popular drinks, they also decrease the chances of cancer development.
- The tomato effect;
People who regularly eat cooked tomatoes have up to 50 % reduction in chances for prostate cancer, a Harvard research has shown. The tomato contains high amounts of a substance called lycopene that has strong anti-angiogenic properties. Because lycopene breaks down in our bodies’ fat, it is easily distributed through the body’s digestion system, and the concentration of lycopene increases when subjected to higher temperature and this is the reason why cooked tomatoes are effective in stopping cancer growth.
- Dark chocolate;
Not only that the dark chocolate is a tasty dessert, and it is incredibly healthy to eat, but it is good for your heart condition, your overall happiness, and for fighting cancer cells.
5. Turmeric
