Cancer rates are rising globally, especially among younger adults. According to medical experts, lifestyle and diet play a critical role in prevention. A US gastroenterologist highlights three types of foods that may help reduce cancer risk:
1️⃣ Cruciferous Vegetables
Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts are rich in compounds called glucosinolates. These compounds help detoxify harmful substances in the body and may protect cells from dna damage, a key factor in cancer development.
2️⃣ Berries
Berries such as blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are packed with antioxidants and flavonoids. These naturally occurring compounds help combat oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which are linked to cancer progression.
3️⃣ Leafy Greens
Spinach, kale, and other dark leafy greens are full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Their high nutrient density and anti-inflammatory properties support overall gut health and may reduce the risk of gastrointestinal cancers.
⚡ Expert Tip
While no single food guarantees immunity from cancer, including these three in your daily diet alongside a balanced lifestyle—regular exercise, adequate sleep, and avoiding processed foods—can significantly lower risk factors.
