Eat healthy, especially foods high in antioxidants, such as vegetables and unsweetened fruits; (as bacteria and cancer doesn’t like alkaline environments), drink mineral water or alkaline water of 2-3 liters per day or lemon juice; and avoid acid foods, sweets, alcohol, gas water, grilled meals, and processed foods.
