Amazing Thai soup stops cancer!
The delicious Thai soup that can help you Live longer! Can you prevent cancer just by eating soup? Yes—if that soup happens to be the Thai mainstay Tom Yum, revealed in a landmark Asian study to be perhaps the most effective cancer-fighting food ever know
Lemongrass Protects your liver!
Its intoxicating citrus scent comes from citral, an antibacterial compound that stimulates liver enzymes that boost detoxification. New Israeli lab research finds that citral also makes cancer cells self- destruct without harming nearby healthy cells. “And you don’t need a lot of it,” says ethnobotonist Chris Kilham (Medicinehunter.com). “Just two ounces of lemongrass contains enough citral to be effective!”
Coriander Flushes away trapped toxins!
The fragrant leafy green, also called cilantro, is known as a “chelator,” meaning it contains natural compounds that bind to heavy metals (such as lead, aluminum and mercury) trapped in the body, then whisk them from your system. Coriander also neutralizes cancer- causing compounds known as HCAS, which are formed when meat is grilled at high heat, reports the Journal of Food Science.
Chili peppers Rev your immune response!
Spicy peppers are brimming with virus-busting nutrients, including vitamin C and quercetin, shown in Appalachian State University research to make you a whopping eight times more resistant to the flu virus! And if you do get sick? Peppers can ease your symptoms: Capsaicin, the chemical that makes them tingle on your tongue, is proven to relieve chest and nasal congestion, numb pain and even stimulate immune system cells to attack germs faster!
Limes KO tumors!
The rind of sour citrus fruits, such as lemons and limes, contains two compounds, d-limonene and perilyll acid, proven to have potent anti- cancer properties. Research in the Journal Pharmaceutical Biology confirms that both compounds inhibit tumor growth, one reason a University of Arizona study links consuming citrus zest—the outer layer of the peel—with a significantly lower risk of skin cancer!
Mushrooms Maximize mood!
Step aside, Prozac: Mushrooms contain lots of mood-brightening selenium, stress-busting vitamin C and chromium picolinate, a trace mineral that Duke University research shows relieves depression as effectively as some prescription medications! They’re also a top food source of vitamin D, a nutrient that’s essential for preventing the winter blues (aka seasonal affective disorder, or SAD), and that also lowers your risk of at least 12 different cancers— even slashing the odds of developing colorectal cancer in half!
Ginger Blocks pain!
“Ginger contains gingerols and shogaols, compounds that stimulate the immune system, stop swelling and inflammation and provide pain relief as powerful as aspirin,” notes Kilham. And now the Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology reveals that another of ginger’s active ingredients, 6-shogaol, specifically targets breast cancer stem cells in lab tests, potentially shutting down tumors before they even start!
