Cancer Fighting Food
I came across a book earlier today on cancer fighting foods. While these kind of books normally annoy me and most of the foods mentioned are already well known for their health benefits, I did think it was worth noting the top cancer fighting foods, at least as a reminder.
- broccoli - and the entire brassica family
- orange vegetables which contain carotenoids such as carrots, pumpkin, sweet potato, beetroot etc
- tomatoes for lycopene - especially important to reduce the risk of prostrate cancer
- berries such as strawberries and raspberries - important to get organic berries not only to avoid toxins but they taste so much better
- pomegranates
- citrus
- mushrooms
- herbs and spices
- chocolate - the 70% cocoa variety not the high sugar variety
Then of course there are two very important drinks:
Plus
- vitamin D - extremely important in fighting cancer
- selenium - which is found naturally in organic vegetables but not in conventionally grown foods
- omega 3 - I get my daily dose by taking supplements
- probiotics - can apparently reduce the risk of colon cancer
