20 種食物幫你抗癌 !! (上)

1. Avocados (酪梨)

Avocados are rich in glutathione,
an extremely powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals(molecules which attack the body and cause disease).
They are also packed with beta-carotene, another antioxidant which is thought to prevent the body from cancer.


2. Broccoli (綠花椰菜)

Eat your greens, folks.
Broccoli is thought to be one of the most potent cancer-fighting foods.
Numerous studies have shown that regular consumption of this delicious green vegetable
can help protect the body from a number of cancers, including breast, colon and rectal.


3. Carrots (胡蘿蔔)

It is beta-carotene, a type of carotenoid,
which gives carrots their orange colour,
and the nutrient protects the body from a wide range of cancers.
However, if you are taking beta-carotene supplements,
the Foods Standards Agency recommend that you do not exceed 7 mg a day.


4. Chilli (辣椒) (又屬紅辣椒最好)

Red-hot chillies contain capsaicin, which is thought to neutralise cancer-causing substances.


5. Figs (無花果)

Go to Italy and the fruit stalls are full of them - and for good reason.
Research out of Tokyo shows that figs are full of benzaldehyde,
an anti-cancer compound that shrinks tumours


6. Garlic (大蒜)

Garlic has long been credited with having disease-fighting properties.
It breaks down substances which cause cancer
and boost levels of the immune cells that fight the disease.


7. Grapefruit (葡萄柚)

Like all other citrus fruits, grapefruit contains monoterpene,
a compound which cleans the body of cancer-causing carcinogens


8. Red grapes (紅葡萄-so 紅酒!)

Red grapes, and therefore - hurrah! - red wine,
contain the antioxidants known as bioflavonoids as well as resveratrol,
which inhibits the growth of cancer cells.


9. Nuts (堅果)

Nuts, which are high in 'good' fats, contain the antioxidants quercetin and campferol,
which both suppress the growth of cancer.
Brazil nuts, meanwhile, are rich in selenium,
which is thought to protect men from prostate cancer
(if you have a nut allergy, buy a selenium supplement instead).


10. Raspberries (小紅莓)

Raspberries are literally bursting with various vitamins and minerals,
not least antioxidants known as anthocyanins, which are thought to protect us from cancer.
