Foods That Prevent Cancer
You can really boost the nutrition power of your salad by adding a few key ingredients. Dr. Oz gives us the reasons these ingredients are so helpful.
Watercress - Not only is this peppery green full or iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and lutein, but compounds in these greens – isothiocyanates – may thwart a potent carcinogen in tobacco.
Arugula – Women who eat the most from this food family score the same on brain tests as women who are two years younger. Plus, it has the power to turn on a cancer-fighting substance in your body that makes prostate-,breast, and colon cancer cells die.
Spinach - Its powerful ingredients include magnesium, a nutrient most of us don’t get enough of. People who eat three or more servings of spinach slow mental decline due to aging by as much as 40 percent. If you don’t like the taste use baby spinach the taste is less strong. Other leafy greens that are good are kale and collard greens.
I have found that mixing these greens with other kinds of lettuce gives you the best taste results. I still really like iceberg lettuce so I mix in the baby spinach or the watercress until I have about 50/50 mix.
If you don’t like mixing up your own salad, you can buy the prepackaged kind in the produce department of your grocery store.
