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.
