If there is one item I am reluctant to discard it would have to be my Canadian Living magazines. From time to time, I enjoy re-reading the old issues. One issue featured cancer fighting foods. As luck would have it, if you don’t have the issue you can find the info online and it is well worth the read. Here is my grocery list for today:
- Oranges and grapefruits they reduce inflammation and inhibit cancer cell growth.
- Broccoli, cauliflower, kale, brussel sprouts decrease risk of lung, bladder, breast, stomach and colon cancers.
- Berries, they block proteins needed for cancer to grow .
- Tomatoes they lower the risk of prostate cancer.
- Green tea stops the growth of blood vessels that feed tumors.
- Oregano and other herbs are antioxidants.
- Cinnamon stops the network of blood vessels that feed tumors.
- Olive oil may reduce the risk of breast, colorectal and prostate cancers.
- Parsely has been shown to stop the development of leukemia cells.
- Flaxseed stops growing cancer cells
- Turmeric slows cancer cells.
- Garlic gets rid of cancer causing chemicals in the body.
- Rosemary may help fight the carcinogenic effects of cooking starchy foods.
I think today, I will enjoy a berry fruit smoothie with a dash of flaxseed. Green tea instead of coffee, a sprinkle of cinnamon on toast, an orange for a snack, tomato based oregano/garlic focaccia, a herb salad with a splash of blood orange olive oil.
Tomorrow I will try out rosemary and turmeric.
