10 Cancer-Fighting Fruits
and Vegetables
We've all heard that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Read on to learn
about 10 other fruits and veggies that can help do the same!
1.Broccoli
Broccoli contains sulforaphane,
which may help to stop
the spread of cancer
throughout the body.
In some laboratory
tests, it has been shown
to reduce the spread of
tumors, and reduce the amount
of carcinogens and free radicals in
the body.
3.Cabbage
Cabbage is a cruciferous
vegetable that gives the body
the fuel it needs to defend
itself against certain
cancers. Add cabbage
to your favorite
vegetable soup recipe.
5.Grapefruits
Filled with vitamin C and
containing less sugar than other
citrus fruits, grapefruits also
pack vital nutrients that may
help rid the body of harmful
carcinogens. Sip on fresh
grapefruit juice for a quick
burst of energy or try it in
your favorite fruit salad.
Make a grapefruit vinaigrette
and serve over seafood for a
light meal.
2. Brussels
sprouts
Brussels sprouts not only are a dark,
green vegetable--which means they have
multiple health benefits--but
they are also a member of the
cruciferous vegetables, which
defend against free radicals.
Try Brussels sprouts
grilled or stir-fried for an
interesting,
healthful twist.
4. Grapes
Red and purple grapes contain
large amounts of resveratrol,
which has strong anti-inflammatory
properties and
can stop cancercausing
cells
from spreading
in the body.
Have a glass of
red wine or snack
on fresh grapes
for a tasty and
beneficial treat.
