The anti-cancer diet:<\/span><\/strong>
\n25 foods that prevent cancer
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1-Broccoli<\/strong> contains sulforaphane and isothiocyanates. These are
\nboth phytochemicals <\/span>that can work with the enzymes in your body to
\nfight cancer. Broccoli is also an excellent <\/span>source of Vitamins C and K.
\nLove a bunch these little green trees, especially lightly steamed.<\/span><\/p>\n

2-Tomatoes<\/strong> – You can eat tomatoes in salads, make soup, sauces and
\nmany other dishes. <\/span>Stay well away from eating the stems and leaves, but
\nthe flesh is also a moderate source of <\/span>Vitamin C. Some studies suggest
\nlycopene, an antioxidant in tomatoes, has anticancer properties.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lycopene<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>is a naturally occurring compound that contributes to the
\nred color of fruits and vegetables and is a carotenoid antioxidant.
\nLycopene<\/span>\u00a0is found in high amounts in tomatoes but is also present in
\nwatermelons, pink grapefruits, apricots, and pink guavas. One cup
\n(240\u00a0mL) of tomato juice provides approximately 23\u00a0mg of\u00a0lycopene<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Processing raw tomatoes using heat (e.g., in the making of tomato juice,<\/span>
\ntomato paste, or ketchup) transforms natural\u00a0lycopene<\/span>\u00a0to a form that<\/span>
\nis easier to utilize by the human body.People take\u00a0lycopene\u00a0<\/span>to help
\nprevent <\/span>cardiovascular disease and cancer of the prostate, breast, lung,
\nbladder, <\/span>ovaries, colon, as well as pancreas.<\/span><\/p>\n

3-Organic non-GMO corn<\/strong> – Whether you cook a cob on the barbecue,
\nsteam it, boil it, or use <\/span>it as an ingredient in recipes, organic non-GMO
\ncorn contains beta-cryptoxanthin and ferulic <\/span>acid, both of which may
\ninhibit cancer growth. And yes, you can even pop it; just go lightly on <\/span>
\nthe butter and salt!<\/span><\/p>\n

4-Turmeric<\/strong> – Mother nature’s pain relief, it works better than aspirin.
\nThis yellow-orange color found in many curries contains curcumin, is
\nthought to have <\/span>anticancer effects on precancerous cells in a few different
\ntypes of cancer. It is also thought to <\/span>have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
\nproperties that can help with other conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
