Cancer Awareness Week 2

As I mentioned in my previous posts it is cancer awareness month, and I will be posting different tips each Monday to help educate all of us!!

This weeks post is again along the lines of nutrition. Here are some foods that fight cancer from the Cancer Cure Foundation:

Avocados

Broccoli

Brussel Sprouts

Cabbage

Cauliflower

Carrots

Chili Pepper, including jalapenos

Figs

Flax

Licorice root

Garlic

Grapes (red)

Grapefruit

lemon

Mushrooms

Nuts

Oranges

Papyas

Rasberries

Rosemary

Seaweed

Soy Products

Sweet Potatos

Teas (green/black)

Tapioca

Tomatoes

Tumeric

Turnips

Wine (Red)

Tips recommended by the Cancer Cure Foundation include:
· East a variety of healthy foods, particularly from plant sources
· Shop the perimeter of the grocery store – avoid processed foods.
· Eat 5 or more fruits and vegetables a day
· Limit consumption of red meat
· The more red meat people eat, the less fruits and vegetables they tend to consume
· Avoid sugar – cancers love sugar. It is even suggested that sugar substitutes also fall under this same category.
· Some say that cancers love carbohydrates, so it is suggested that corn and potatoes should be consumed on a limited basis.

I hope we all can learn something from these posts and share it with others.

Have a blessed day!
