Angličtina na iDNES.czBlueberries are rich in anti-oxidants, which by their very nature, help reduce the chances of getting cancer. Blueberries contain a chemical called Anthocyanin, which is responsible for giving the blueberry its distinctive color.
Cancer cells don’t like Anthocyanin, which is one of the reasons blueberries are so good for you, in addition to being a very rich source in natural Vitamin C, which helps preserve and protect the structures of cells in the body.
Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage
These three vegetables are loaded with indole-3-carbinol and sulforaphane, which are also anti-oxidants that prevent deadly free radicals from attacking the body.
Women who have a history of breast cancer in their family due to genetics, are encouraged to include lots of raw broccoli in their diets.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are very rich in lycopene, which protects the body from cancer of the prostate. To get the greatest benefits from the anti-oxidants in tomatoes, it is best to COOK them first before eating, which facilitates the release of lycopene.
If you cook tomatoes, make sure you don’t use oil or other ingredients which will ruin the benefits of eating tomatoes.
Green Tea
Long known as a “purifier” by the Chinese, green tea is rich in catechins, which are another anti-oxidant. Catechins have been shown to reduce tumors and help prevent cancer in the colon and rectum. Green tea works best when served cold or at room temperature, not hot or boiling, contrary to popular belief.

Joke of the DayIf MEN could only have babies: 1. They wouldn’t think that "twins are so cute." 2. Their sons would be home by 10PM, regardless of the excuse. 3. Stretch marks would have been cured centuries ago. 4. Men would be eager and want to talk about commitment. 5. Women would rule the world! |
