Eating a healthy diet that's loaded with fruits, vegetables,
and other plant foods can lower your risk for many types
of cancer. But which foods are best? Here are some of them
and the benefits they offer.
Beans are loaded with phytochemicals that may protect cells
from damage that can lead to cancer.
Berries are good sources of fiber, vitamin C, and other
antioxidants.
Dark green, leafy vegetables such as leaf lettuces, Swiss chard,
spinach, and kale are rich in fiber, folate, and carotenoids.
Garlic contains many cancer-fighting compounds, including
quercetin and allicin.
Grapes and grape juice are excellent sources of antioxidant
resveratrol (particularly the red and purple varieties).
Broccoli is rich in vitamins C and K, folate, potassium, and fiber.
