5. Broccoli
This green, crunchy veggie has always been hailed as the hero of the cancer fight. New research has only raised the status and importance of this green vegetable. All cruciferous veggies have cancer-fighting qualities, but broccoli contains the highest amount of sulforaphane. Its ability to eliminate toxins with a ruthless vigor is the compound that will kill cancer. It boosts your body’s protective enzymes and gives you a powerful immune system.
In a study conducted on mice by the University of Michigan, sulforaphane was also found to target stem cells which are the cells responsible for the growth of cancerous tumours. Broccoli is linked to the fight against and beating breast, liver and lung cancer, as well as skin, stomach and blood cancer. You should incorporate it into your diet in a creative way to get as much as you can. Stir-fries, fresh salads and stuffed omelets with broccoli lightly tossed in coconut oil and topped with cheese and mushroom are all great ideas.
