Tomatoes are also high in Vitamins A, C, and E which all combat cancer friendly free radicals.

Not because of it’s nutrients, but due to it’s wonderful taste and versatility, the tomato is on the most consumed vegetables nationwide.  The versatility of the tomato makes it so easy to throw tomatoes in soups, salads, a delicious thick pasta sauce or simple sprinkled with some salt and pepper.  Tomatoes are best consumed in the raw form, and if you must grab them from a tin, make sure it’s BPA free tomatoes.

Red Wine and Cancer Prevention

9. Wine

A glass of wine anyone? Research shows that grape skins contain resveratrol, which is a powerful antioxidant. It is known to prevent certain cancer cell growth and can reduce risk of prostate cancer.  But the biggest reason for the link between alcohol and cancer prevention is because alcohol disrupts your genes, and with excessive alcohol consumption can leave your cells damaged.  The resveratrol in wine actually ills the damaged cells, so that those cells can’t go on to cause cancer.   Seems backyards right?  Drinking too much achocol damages your cells so drink more to kill them?  But yes you read that correct. Heavy consumption of alcohol is never recommended and can increase your risk of cancer.  Other studies also suggest that a glass of wine may even lower your risk of heart disease.  Reduction of risk of cancer has not yet been proven but there are studies that suggest it.  If you must, drink red not white.

10. Chili Peppers

There has been many new studies on chili pepper’s and their ability to fight off cancer cells in many cancer affected organs.  It was found to interferer with the protein synthesis of the transcription of cancerous cells. If you can stand it, add jalapenos and chili peppers to your chili, stews and dips.

Diet and exercise is key, as well to eat as many of these super foods as possible.  Try balancing out all of these foods into your daily diet, so you can have a super cancer-fighting regimen!
