According to the American Cancer Society, over one million people get cancer each year. Changing your diet to include specific foods helps reduce your risk of getting the disease. It’s one of the easiest ways to fight cancer and requires very little effort from you. In fact, all you need to do is eliminate certain items from your diet and replace them with nutrient dense, vitamin-packed foods and you’re on the way to better health.
Cancer fighting foods to add to your shopping list include ones that have high levels of folate such as orange juice, spinach and romaine leaves, dried beans or peas, and asparagus or Brussel sprouts. Vitamin D-rich fish, dairy products, and good old- fashioned sunshine works, too. Just ten minutes outdoors each day makes a significant impact on your health.
Sip tea as your beverage of choice because it contains flavonoids which have an antioxidant effect on the body. The flavonoid kaempferol protects against cancer. Studies in the past have proven that four cups of tea a day helped prevent ovarian cancer in women.
