Nutrition and Cancer

• Fact 1: Antioxidants may help protect cells.

Antioxidants, found in fruits, vegetables, and some nuts, protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Foods high in antioxidants include blueberries, spinach, and green tea.

• Fact 2: Cruciferous vegetables contain cancer-fighting compounds.

Broccoli, cauliflower, and kale are rich in sulforaphane, a compound that has shown potential in reducing cancer cell growth in some studies.

• Fact 3: Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory effects.

Found in fatty fish like salmon and walnuts, omega-3s may help reduce inflammation, which is linked to cancer development.
