The American Cancer Society predicts that there will be 1,806,950 new cancer cases, out of which 135,720 will be due to lung and bronchus cancer by the end of 2020. Oncologists suggest that including foods that help prevent lung cancer in our daily diet can help ward off the condition. A fresh and fruity breakfast can kick start your day with positivity. Below are some of the recommended fruits you can enjoy while preventing lung cancer.

Apples
Apples contain many natural compounds and molecules that empower the body against many diseases including lung cancer. The polyphenols, which are naturally-occurring anti-inflammatory and cancer-fighting compounds, are abundant in an apple. Catechin is one of the phenols that have been found to inhibit carcinogenesis in all stages of cancer. Phloretin is another polyphenol that inhibits the development of lung cancer in the body. Recent research has revealed that apples are packed with many nutrients and supplements that help and boost overall health. 

Avocado
In recent years, avocado consumption has been on the rise due to its abundance of natural fats and nutrients. They are rich in vitamin C and E, and carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin. A mixture of these natural compounds helps in preventing the formation of cancer cells in the lungs.

Berries
Berries of all kinds, such as blueberries, raspberries, cranberries, strawberries, blackberries, cherries, plums, peaches, and grapes, contain anthocyanin, ellagic acid, and catechin that are excellent anti-carcinogenic antioxidants and cause enzymes to get rid of harmful chemicals in the system. Anthocyanins also slow the progression of lung cancer in patients. Nutritionists recommend to include a mix of berries in both fresh and dried stages. 

Orange
Oranges have long been a major dietary supplement due to their color, flavor, and juice. Nutritionally, oranges are a rich supply of vitamin C and a variety of phytochemicals such as carotenoids and flavonoids. All these compounds are good at inhibiting and eliminating cancer-causing agents in the body. These fruits can be consumed either directly or drunk as a juice. 

Papaya
The papaya makes up a good portion of water and fiber. It is rich in Vitamin A and C and phytochemicals such as carotenoids and polyphenols. The fruit has many antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic agents that help in preventing lung cancer. Papaya is a healthy inclusion to the diet and helps in weight loss due to its detoxifying properties. A variety of appetizing salads and smoothies can be made with the papaya. 

Pomegranates
Pomegranates are excellent low-calorie fiber fruits that help in digestion, metabolism, hydration, and fighting lung cancer. The rich antioxidant properties in this fruit make it one of the best healing foods on the planet. In recent research, the fruit extract, in particular, has shown to resist and inhibit carcinogenic cells and lung nodules in the lungs. It means that this fruit has remedial properties to treat lung cancer in the developmental stage. Nutritionists recommend that pomegranates have most of the supplements in the edible seeds.
