Eating Healthy can retard cancer?

June 10, 2009

'Widely considered to be one of the healthier food choices is the cruciferous

vegetables. 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. "
