Increasing evidence suggests that our diet can help us fight the war against cancer. While no single food can prevent cancer alone, eating healthier overall can help reduce our risk of cancer. The American Institute for Cancer research has suggested several foods that may fight cancer. Here are 5 foods that you can start adding to your diet to reduce your risk of cancer!
Cruciferous vegetables are non-starchy vegetables that contain dietary fiber, folate, and vitamin C. These nutrients have all been shown in studies to lower your risk for several cancers, including skin and liver cancer. So which vegetables are cruciferous? Broccoli, brussels sprouts, rapini, green cabbage, cauliflower, turnips and dark green leafy vegetables like kale and collard greens fall into this category. Steam, microwave, stir-fry or sauté these vegetables to help them retain their nutrients.
