10 Foods to Help Prevent Cancer

1. Add garlic to everything you eat.
Garlic contains sulfur compounds that may stimulate the immune system’s natural defenses against cancer, & may have the potential to reduce tumor growth. Studies suggest that garlic can reduce the incidence of stomach cancer by as much as a factor of 12!
2. Eat broccoli, but have it steamed or raw.
Broccoli is a cancer-preventing superfood, one you should eat frequently. However, a Spanish study found that microwaving broccoli destroys 97 % of the vegetable’s cancer-protective flavonoids. So steam it, eat it raw as a snack, or add it to soups & salads.
 
3. Have some Brazil nuts & put in your salad.
They’re a rich form of selenium, a trace mineral that convinces cancer cells to commit suicide & helps cells repair their DNA. A Harvard study of more than 1,000 men with prostate cancer found those with the highest blood levels of selenium were 48 % less likely to develop advanced disease over 13 years than men with the lowest levels. And a dramatic five-year study conducted at Cornell University & the University of Arizona showed that 200 micrograms of selenium daily , the amount in two unshelled Brazil nuts, resulted in 63 % fewer prostate tumors, 58 % fewer colorectal cancers, 46 % fewer lung malignancies, & 39 % overall decrease in cancer deaths.
 
4. Have some fresh lemonade or limeade.
A daily dose of citrus fruits may cut the risk of mouth, throat, & stomach cancers by half, Australian researchers found.
5. Add half a cup of blueberries with your cereal.
Blueberries rank number one in terms of their antioxidant power. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which are unstable compounds that can damage cells & to diseases including cancer.
6. Eat artichokes tonight.
Artichokes are a great source of silymarin, an antioxidant that may help prevent skin cancer. To eat these delicious veggies, peel off the tough outer leaves on the bottom, slice the bottom, & cut off the spiky top. Then boil or steam until tender, about 30-45 minutes. Drain. Dip each leaf in a vinaigrette or garlic mayonnaise, then gently tear the fibrous covering off with your front teeth, working your way inward to the tender heart. Once there, gently scoop the bristles from the middle of the heart, dip in a little butter or lemon juice, & enjoy!
7. Fix some salmon on the grill for dinner.
Australian researchers studying Canadians found those who ate 4 or more servings of fish per week were nearly 1/3 less likely to develop the blood cancers leukemia, myeloma, & non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Other studies show a link between eating fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, halibut, sardines, and tuna, as well as shrimp & scallops) with a reduced risk of endometrial cancer in women. Amazing omega-3s at it again!
 
8. Have some kiwifruit.
Kiwi is a little hand grenade of cancer-fighting antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin E, lutein, & copper. You can also rub a couple of cut kiwifruit on a low-fat cut of meat as a tenderizer.
9. Put some scallions in your salad.
A diet high in onions may reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 50 %. But the effects are strongest when they’re eaten raw or lightly cooked. So try scallions, Vidalia onions, shallots, or chives for a milder taste.
 
10. Serve sauerkraut.
A Finnish study found that the fermentation process involved in making sauerkraut produces several other cancer-fighting compounds, including ITCs, indoles,& sulforaphane. To reduce the sodium content, rinse canned or jarred sauerkraut before eating.

What are PhytoNutrients?
Phytonutrients are nutrients derived from plants that have been shown to be necessary for sustaining life. Also called phytochemicals, phytonutrients are natural bioactive compounds found in fruits & vegetables that work together with vitamins, minerals, & fiber to promote good health. These phytochemicals have been found to have properties to aid in disease prevention. 4 of the leading causes of death in the Western countries include: cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, & hypertension. Phytochemicals are associated with the prevention &/or treatment of these diseases. They are involved in preventing cell damage, preventing cancer cell replication, & decreasing cholesterol.
