(TNF) Rich Superfood: Black Spotted Bananas

Tumor necrosis factor "TNF" is a substance produced by the immune system, which is involved mainly in the fight against cancer cells.


Monkeys love bananas, right? Yet how intelligent are monkeys actually, because bananas are high in TNF or tumor necrosis factor. Bananas that ate black spotted or ripe possess excellent "anticancer" compounds and most people assume overripe or dark brown bananas are only useful for baking banana bread, not so, ripe bananas are extremely healthy! Thanks to their alkalinity, ripe bananas promote the activation of defensive immune cells that are responsible for the production of a substance called TNF-alfa, essential for fighting cancer.

Anti TNF drugs that inhibit TNF such as Remicade or Infliximab of which the latter is the second drug molecule sold, in terms of value, in 2012, with a projected figure of $ 9.1 billion these su
sythentic 0treatments are immunosuppressive and may increase the risk of contracting tuberculosis , or the reactivation of latent infections.

TNF, or its effects, can also be more modestly inhibited by certain natural compounds, including curcumin (found in turmeric ) and catechins (present in green tea ).

The ripe banana is at the forefront of protective foods against cancer . According to research conducted by a group of Japanese universities, the fully ripe banana , which has a blackened skin or an intense yellow and covered with very dark spots, activates defensive immunological cells, specifically neutrophils and neutrophils. macrophages, which are responsible for making a substance called TNF alpha that plays a vital role in cancer!

Everyone knows the great benefits that this beautiful fruit offers to our health because it contains virtually no fat and very few calories. It is for this reason that specialists recommend its daily consumption, as far as possible, except for those who have kidney problems, because it is very rich in potassium.

Its beneficial action to prevent cancer
Cancer


According to the studies we referred to above, to prevent cancer, we must consume the ripe banana, once its skin becomes black or it is covered with many black spots. It is then that cells that will prevent the growth of abnormal substances will be activated by TNF alpha, to offer us immunological protection essential to fight against cancer .

We must therefore be careful that the banana is always ripe. The darker it is, the more alkaline it is, an essential condition for activating the function of white blood cells in the blood.
