In This Episode
Cruciferous vegetables are considered to be some of the best cancer fighting foods. They include, but are not limited to:
♥ Bok choy
♥ Kale
♥ Broccoli
♥ Rutabagas
♥ Brussels sprouts
♥ Kohlrabi
♥ Cauliflower
♥ Cabbage
♥ Parsnips
♥ Turnips
They contain compounds that are formed during chewing and digestion, and these compounds are able to get rid of cancer causing substances before they get a hold of and damage the DNA.
According to Cancer.gov, the compounds found in the cruciferous vegetables are responsible for the following:
♥ They help protect cells from DNA damage.
♥ They help inactivate carcinogens (cancer causing agents).
♥ They have antiviral and antibacterial effects.
♥ They have anti-inflammatory effects.
♥ They induce cell death (apoptosis).
♥ They inhibit tumor blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) and tumor cell migration (needed for metastasis).
Though studies are ongoing, early indications are highly favorable for four types of cancer; breast cancer, colon cancer, colorectal cancer and lung cancer.
