Endometrial cancer is the most common type of
cancer. It starts from the endometrium which is the inner lining of the womb. It
is also known as uterine cancer or cancer of the uterus. The exact cause of
endometrial cancer is still unknown. However, many risk factors involve the
body’s exposure to the female sex hormone, estrogen. Womb cancer is quite
common in women after the menopause.
Certain foods can help lessen your chances of
developing cancer – especially when consumed as part of a healthy diet. Dr.
Arti Gupta, Obstetrics and
Gynaecology, Mayom
Hospital, shares some foods you should include in a healthy diet.
Coffee
Some research suggests that women who drink quite
a few cups of black coffee daily are 25% less prone to develop uterine cancer
or other sorts of the diseases. Coffee holds compounds that alter the way a
woman’s body utilizes certain hormones, such as estrogen and insulin. This
change relates to the drink’s anti-cancer properties.
Lentils
Lentils are rich in dietary fiber which restrains
the development of colorectal cancer. Fiber helps your gut produce chemicals
that prevent the formation of tumor cells. Fiber also lowers the cholesterol
and blood sugar levels in the body. Other rich fiber sources include beans, barley,
brown rice and whole-wheat pasta.
Garlic
Garlic is laden with vitamins B6 and C, manganese,
and selenium. Some research suggests that these nutrients can repulse the
cancer cell growth in the intestines. This pungent seasoning might also help
lowering your risk of stomach, breast and colon cancers.
Leafy greens
Green leafy vegetables including spinach,
kale and broccoli are highly nutritious. They’re stuffed with fiber, minerals, phytochemicals
and vitamins that reduce the risks of colorectal cancer. Eating plenty of leafy
greens can also help you maintain a healthy body weight.
Including these foods to your diet is a great
way to help protect your body from cancer,” Dr. Arti adds.

I was putting on weight very fast. Within 1 month I almost gained 20 kgs. I usually do not eat fatty or fried food so I knew there was some medical problem behind the increasing weight. All of us in the family rely on the doctors at Mayom too much that I thought of nothing else but consulting the dietician who sits there. Initially nutritionist suggested some tests and the reports said thyroid was responsible for the fluctuation in weight. Since then I have been too careful with my diet and taking proper medication. In fact the dietician made a special diet chart for me and also suggested light exercises that I easily do at home because my job doesn’t allow me to take time out for gym. I think 2 months have gone and I have lost 11-12 kgs. Thyroid levels are also under control now. I am glad I visited doctor on time. It is indeed the best hospital in Gurgaon. No matter what problem it is..me and my family members always rush to Mayom and we have always received the best treatment and that has made us trust all the doctors there even more.
