We all know that smoking tobacco and exposure to other pollutants such as diesel, benzene or PCB’s can cause cancer. However, there are also foods we can eat that help to counteract the risk.
Scientific evidence has established that cruciferous vegetables contain vital cancer-fighting components that offer powerful protection against carcinogens.
These compounds are found in the vegetables broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and kale. Eating these foods daily, steamed, supports the body’s natural detoxification process.
Broccoli, cauliflower, and other cruciferous vegetables uniquely contain health-promoting phytonutrients that help prevent the onset and halt the progression of colon, breast, prostate, thyroid, cervical, and many other cancers.
Finally, the pigment chlorophyll, found in all green veg, binds tightly to carcinogens found in burnt or barbecued meat and tobacco smoke.
