There is a great deal of research being done on cancer research and technology.
In Europe, in 2006, an estimated 3,000,000 people were diagnosed and over 1,500,000 people died from this disease.
There is, as yet, no complete cure for cancer, but more and more research has revealed that a good lifestyle can help to reduce the statistics.
The no. 1 enemy of cancer is eating a balanced diet which contains certain recommended vegetables.
We are all aware of government advice to consume 5 portions of fruit and veg per day.
However, the following 3 are known as a super veg in the war against cancer.
- Cauliflower
- Cabbage
- Broccoli
They each contain a chemical component called indole-3-carbinol that can combat breast cancer by converting a cancer promoting estrogen into a more protective variety.
Broccoli has the phytochemical sulforaphane, a product of glucoraphanin, believed to help protect against some types of cancer, including colon and rectal cancer.
Sulporaphane induces the production of certain enzymes that can activate free radicals and carcinogens. The enzymes have been shown to inhibit the growth of tumours in laboratory animals.
By adding these super veg to your diet you may significantly reduce the risk of contracting this dreaded disease.
