Included in this family of vegetables are broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, and bok choy. Cruciferous vegetables are high in vitamins, fiber, and potent anti-cancer phytochemicals. According to the American Institute for Cancer, there is solid evidence that links cruciferous vegetables and protection against cancer. " Studies have shown that this vegetable group has the ability to stop the growth of cancer cells for tumors in the breast, uterine lining, lung, colon, liver, and cervix. And studies that track the diets of people over time have found that diets high in cruciferous vegetables are linked to lower rates of prostate cancer. It is recommended that we eat 3-5 servings of cruciferous vegetables per week. It's best to eat these veggies raw or only lightly steamed so they retain their cancer fighting phytochemicals. " Check out the following: " Arugula, Beet greens, bok choy, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Chinese cabbage. Collard greens, Daikon, Horseradish, Kale, Kohlrabi, Mustard greens. Radishes, Rutabaga, Swiss chard, Turnips, Watercress.
