Here are some more disease-fighting foods you may want to incorporate into your weight loss plan. Take the information however you’d like. Me—I’m taping this list to my fridge.
Mushrooms – Who knew these tasty treats were so good for you? They fight cancer and can help build up the immune system. They also contain lectin, a substance that attacks cancer cells and stops them from multiplying. Oh, and would you believe that studies have been conducted in Japan using mushroom extracts as an addition to chemotherapy?
Nuts- They suppress the growth of cancers.
Papaya – Contains folic acid and has been shown to reduce certain cancers. It’s also an antioxidant.
Raspberries – Berries in general are known for their antioxidants. Black raspberries in particular are known to have the greatest cancer fighting abilities, and are higher in antioxidants than strawberries or blueberries.
Rosemary – This potent herb may help detoxify your body.
Sweet potatoes – Contain cancer-fighting properties.
Green Tea – We’ve long heard of the benefits of green tea. Not only can it help with weight loss, it may also reduce the risk of cancer of the stomach, lung, colon, rectum, liver and pancreas.
Tomatoes – Recent studies have been done on the effects of tomatoes on the body. The lycopene in tomatoes has been linked to a reduced risk of breast, prostate, pancreas and colorectal cancer
Turmeric – Said to help with cancers such as bowel and colon.
