Asparagus
Asparagus
is a flowering plant belong to species the genus Asparagus, native to
the western coasts of northern Spain, north to Ireland, Great Britain,
and northwest Germany, northern Africa and western Asia. Asparagus has
been used from early times as a vegetable and medicine, because of its
delicate flavor and diuretic properties.
Cancer
is a class of diseases in which a group of cells growing and
multiplying disordered and uncontrollable way in our body, have become
progressively worse and damaged other healthy tissues, sometimes spreads
to other organs in the body via lymph or blood and results may be in
death.
Liver Cancer is defined as a condition of the abnormal proliferation of cells in the liver.

Its chemical constituents include essential oils, asparagine, arginine,
tyrosine, flavonoids (kaempferol, quercetin, and rutin), resin, and
tannin.
The benefits
Asparagus may be one of potential herb used in future to treat liver
cancers as it chemical constituents exert their anti cancer
property in many studies. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most aggressive
malignancies in the world, but deproteinized asparagus
polysaccharide exert potent selective cytotoxicity against
hepatocellular carcinoma Hep3B and HepG2 cells. in
vitro and in vivo, according to the researchers team lead by Dr. Xiang
J. Others in the analysis of shatavarin IV isolated from ethyl acetate
insoluble fraction
(AR-2B) of chloroform:methanol (2:1) (AR-2) extract of A. racemosus
roots, indicated that shatavarin IVexhibits significant anticancer
activity in both in vitro and in vivo experimental models. In facts, intakes of celery, mushrooms, allium vegetables, composite vegetables (including asparagus lettuce and garland chrysanthemum), legumes and legume products were widely known to associate with reduced liver cancer risk.
The Side effects
It may cause allergic effects and temporarily smelly urination.

Food therapy - Black beans (Phaseolus) and Colon Cancer
Black bean is a Small roughly ovoid legumes with glossy black shells, genus Phaseolus, belongs to the family Fabaceae and can bought in most grocery stores all around the year in dried and canned forms. It is believed that black bean was first domesticated growth in South America.
Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells growing and multiplying disordered and uncontrollable way in our body, have become progressively worse and damaged other healthy tissues, sometimes spreads to other organs in the body via lymph or blood and results may be in death.
Colon Cancer is defined as a condition of the abnormal proliferation of cells in the colon.
Nutrients and Chemicals constituents
a. Nutrients
1. Carbohydrate
2. Dietary fiber
3. Protein
4. Fat
5. Vitamin A
6. Vitamin B
7. Folate
8. Vitamin C
9. Calcium
10. Magnesium
11. Manganese
12. Phosphorus
13. Molybdenum
14. Iron
10. Etc.
b. Chemicals constituents
The major chemical compounds of black bean include anthocyanin, (-)-epicatechin, delphinidin, petunidin, flavonols and malvidin.
The benefits
Through human history. black bean has been used as major sources of food consumption as well as
a food in preventing and treating. in TCM black bean is considered as a sources to enhance liver to produce and regulate the circulation of blood. Flavonoids, Genistein and saponins found in black bean has exert the antioxidant capacity and antiproliferative activity against cancer cell lines as Genistein was related with the activity against mammary cancer cells but flavonols and group B saponins were more related with hepatic and colon cancers. Non-glycosilated flavonols were related with antioxidant capacity. In other study, black bean is found to reduce azoxymethane-induced colon cancer in rats, Dr. Hangen L and the research team said that total tumor multiplicity was also significantly lower in rats fed the black bean (1.1) and navy bean (1.0) diets than in rats fed the control diet (2.2). The 44-75% reduction in colon carcinogenesis in rats fed beans was attributed to 1) more controlled appetites, leading to significantly less body fat, and 2) much greater concentrations of butyrate in the distal colon. It was concluded that eating black beans and navy beans significantly lowered colon cancer incidence and multiplicity.
The Side effect
1. Purines
Black beans contain purines, excessive intake of these substances can cause the accumulation of uric acid, leading to"gout" and kidney stones.
2. Etc.

Intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and weight gain
Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), particularly carbonated soft drinks, may be a key contributor to the epidemic of overweight and obesity, by virtue of these beverages' high added sugar conten. Researchers at the , Harvard School of Public Health, showed that a school-based intervention found significantly less soft-drink consumption and prevalence of obese and overweight children in the intervention group than in control subjects after 12 mo, and a recent 25-week randomized controlled trial in adolescents found further evidence linking SSB intake to body weight. The weight of epidemiologic and experimental evidence indicates that a greater consumption of SSBs is associated with weight gain and obesity. Although more research is needed, sufficient evidence exists for public health strategies to discourage consumption of sugary drinks as part of a healthy lifestyle(1).

Reduction in consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with weight loss
In the study to examine how changes in beverage consumption affect weight
change among adults, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School
of Public Health, showed that baseline mean intake of liquid calories
was 356 kcal/d (19% of total
energy intake). After potential confounders and intervention assignment
were controlled for, a reduction in liquid calorie intake of 100 kcal/d
was associated with a weight loss
of 0.25 kg (95% CI: 0.11, 0.39; P < 0.001) at 6 mo and of 0.24 kg
(95% CI: 0.06, 0.41; P = 0.008) at 18 mo. A reduction in liquid calorie
intake had a stronger effect than did a reduction in solid calorie
intake on weight loss. Of the individual beverages, only intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) was significantly associated with weight change. A reduction in SSB intake of 1 serving/d was associated with a weight loss of 0.49 kg (95% CI: 0.11, 0.82; P = 0.006) at 6 mo and of 0.65 kg (95% CI: 0.22, 1.09; P = 0.003) at 18 mo(1).

Replacing caloric beverages with water or diet beverages for weight loss
In the study to compare the replacement of caloric beverages with water or diet beverages (DBs) as a method of weight loss over 6 mo in adults and attention controls (ACs), researchers at the The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, showed that Replacement of caloric beverages with noncaloric beverages as a weight-loss strategy resulted in average weight losses of 2% to 2.5%. This strategy could have public health significance and is a simple, straightforward message. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01017783(1).

Dietary intervention and vasomotor symptoms
In the study to determine whether a dietary intervention designed to reduce fat
intake and increase intake of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains, and weight loss, reduces vasomotor symptoms (VMS; ie, hot flashes or night sweats) in postmenopausal women, research indicated in multivariate-adjusted analyses, with simultaneous adjustment for the intervention and weight
change, assignment to the dietary intervention versus the control arm
was significantly (odds ratio [OR], 1.14; 95% CI, 1.01-1.28) related to a
higher likelihood of symptom elimination among women with VMS at baseline. In addition, women with symptoms at baseline who lost 10 lb or more (OR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.05-1.46) or lost 10% or more of their baseline body weight
(OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.21-2.02) between baseline and year 1 were
significantly more likely to eliminate VMS compared with those who
maintained weight. Upon examining the joint effect of the dietary modification and weight loss, compared with women in the control arm who maintained weight, women who lost substantial weight
(≥10%) as a part of the intervention (OR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.39-2.57) but
not as part of the control arm (OR, 1.40; 95% CI, 0.92-2.13) were
significantly more likely to end VMS, although these two groups did not
differ significantly from each other. Large weight loss (>22 lb), but not dietary changes, was related to the elimination of moderate/severe VMS(1).

Alternative Medicine for Weight Loss Among Mexican-American Women
In the study to examine the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for weight loss among Mexican-American women. Cross-sectional survey of different CAM modalities, including traditional Mexican medicine therapies, showed that most respondents reported using some form of CAM for weight loss, with most reporting using herbs and teas (70 %), home remedies (61 %) and massage (55 %). Mexican-American women report using a wide range of CAM therapies for weight loss. Understanding their patterns of use will enhance cultural competence of health care professionals and help address their medical needs(1).
