Strawberries
4
Strawberries can affect risk for several different cancers in several different ways. They can even help reverse cancer growth.
5
Strawberries are high in antioxidants, which mop up free radicals that lead to cancer.
8
Strawberry They are also high in fiber in both their flesh and seeds, and fiber can help bind up and escort out toxins that contribute to cancer.
9
Strawberries are packed with cancer-protective vitamin C as well as a wide range of other phytonutrients, flavonoids and polyphenols like quercetin and ellagic acid. Ellagic acid utilizes several different cancer-fighting methods, acting as an antioxidant, helping to deactivate specific carcinogens, and slowing the reproduction of cancer cells. In laboratory studies, ellagic acid has demonstrated the ability to prevent cancers of the skin, bladder, lung, esophagus and breast. Quercetin, found in abundance in strawberries, can induce apoptosis, programmed self- destruction of cancer cells. Quercetin, may have protective actions at several steps in the cancer proces, especially in liver cancers.
10
Among Chinese participants at high risk of developing esophageal cancer, eating strawberries helped prevent early lesions from developing into tumors.
11
Broccoli
12
All cruciferous veggies (think cauliflower, cabbage, kale) contain cancer-fighting properties, but broccoli is the only one with a sizable amount of sulforaphane, a particularly potent compound that boosts the body's protective enzymes and flushes out cancer-causing chemicals.
14
The highest concentrations of the cancer-fighting compound are found in young sprouts of broccoli.
15
Garlic and onion
16
Several population studies show an association between increased intake of garlic/onion and reduced risk of certain cancers, including cancers of the stomach, colon, esophagus, pancreas, and breast. Both garlic and onions contain organic sulfur compounds which are powerful cancer fighters. Moreover freshly crushed garlic contains allicin, which inhibits growth of cancer cells.
18
Tomatoes
19
The tomato red hue comes chiefly from a phytochemical called lycopene
The tomato red hue comes chiefly from a phytochemical called lycopene. Lycopene and its related compounds tend to concentrate in tissues of the prostate. Lycopen is antioxidant-substance, which destroy free radicals. Also tomato components have stopped the proliferation of several other cancer cells types, including breast, lung, and endometrial.
