Nutrition and CancerPrevention
By: Brian K. Rosso, R.D.Here are some tips about
cancer-fighting foods that promote ahealthy lifestyle. I hope you find thisinformation helpful in your everydaylives.
• Eat your cabbage, broccoli,brussels sprouts and cauliflower.These vegetables containsulforaphanes that stop tumorgrowth.
• Citrus fruits, such as oranges,lemons and grapefruits, containflavonoids that can remove cancercells found in the liver.
• Consuming foods with crushedgarlic helps your body defend itselfagainst kidney and prostatecancer.
• Dark chocolate that contains over70 percent cocoa actuallydecreases the growth of cancercells and restricts blood flow tothese cells. Consuming about 1/5of a dark chocolate bar daily isacceptable.
• Strawberries contain ellagic acid,which discourages cancer growth.
• High-fiber foods, such as popcorn,oatmeal, strawberries, bakedbeans, brown rice, bran muffins,apples, bananas and bakedpotatoes, help promote a healthydigestive system and deter thegrowth of cancer cells.
• Drink green tea. Green teacontains polyphenols that supportthe death of cancer cells. Makesure you steep your tea for 5 to 8minutes to get the most benefit.
Exploring aCharming Emblem
No symbol representsSt. Patrick’s Day more than thecheerful green shamrock. Sowhat is a shamrock, exactly? Is itsimply a three-leaf clover? Theanswer is a bit more complex.
The word “shamrock” comesfrom the Irish Gaelic wordseamrog, which means “littleclover.” However, there arehundreds of varieties of clover,and similar-looking plants, suchas wood sorrel and blackmedick, have been labeledshamrocks through the years.After the first references to theplant appeared in the16th century, botanists havetried to identify the true speciesof this seasonal sprig.
In the late 1800s, amateurbotanist Nathaniel Colgan askedpeople in counties across Irelandto send him samples of whatthey regarded as real shamrocks.Among all the specimensreceived, the two most popularversions of shamrock were whiteclover and yellow clover. Nearly100 years later, the study wasduplicated with similar results,again showing there is no oneplant species that can be called atrue shamrock.
