GUARD AGAINST CANCER

7. CABBAGE

This vegetable contains glucosinolates, which can fight cancer cells. UK researchers found boiling green cabbage reduces the cancer-fighting compound by 65 per cent. For maximum health benefit, enjoy it lightly steamed or roughly shredded in a salad.

8. GARLIC

A study of more than 40,000 women found that those who ate the most garlic had a 50 per cent lower risk of colon cancer than those who ate the least, probably due to an antioxidant in garlic called allicin.

9. CRANBERRIES

According to a 2016 review, cranberries may help inhibit several cancers, including those of the stomach and brain. Certain cranberry compounds may cause cancer cells to die and reduce harmful oxidative stress.
