A healthy diet is one of the factors that help prevent cancer, so what are the most important foods that can be relied upon in our struggle with this virulent disease?

In a report published in the Spanish magazine "Azsalud", the author, Carmen Otegi, said that some foods have anti-cancer properties more than others, which allows our bodies to better fight this disease.

Here is a list of the most anti-cancer foods, with the assurance that this information is general and for guidance only, and that eating any kind of food is not a cure for cancer or a guarantee of non-infection or any other disease, and it is not a substitute for consulting a doctor:

1- Blueberries

Cranberries are rich in phytochemicals with anti-cancer properties.

There are also fruits with anti-cancer properties such as cherries, red berries and strawberries, which are rich in vitamin C and anti-cancer properties.

2- Turmeric

Turmeric is a type of spice known to have benefits, as well as for its anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties.

As well as being a sedative and a healthy digestive system.

Turmeric is an essential ingredient in Asian cuisine, especially in India.

3- Broccoli

It is a vegetable rich in anti-cancer elements.

It is recommended to eat these vegetables at least once a week, knowing that eating them raw is much better.

And if you eat it cooked, it is recommended not to let it boil too much to preserve its nutritional properties.

4- Cauliflower

What we mentioned about broccoli applies to it, and although many people do not like the taste of cauliflower, that does not negate the fact that it is a healthy food and an important source of antioxidants.

5- Tea

Tea has anti-cancer properties, especially green tea.

Matcha tea is among the teas that have gained great attention in recent years, so feel free to drink a cup of tea daily to fight diseases.

6- Ginger

Similar to turmeric, ginger has powerful anti-cancer properties, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Ginger can be consumed fresh or in the form of a drink.

7- Pure cocoa

Pure cocoa has many antioxidant and anti-cancer properties.

Most people consume cocoa in chocolate, but it contains a lot of sugar that promotes weight gain and tooth decay, so it is recommended to consume dark chocolate that has a high cocoa content, or is made from pure cocoa.

8- Tomatoes

Tomatoes contain lycopene, the anti-cancer substance, especially prostate cancer.

9- Onions

Thanks to its sulfides, eating onions helps fight cancer cells.

10- Garlic

It is also rich in sulfur compounds, and it fights cancer, in addition to what it provides from other nutrients to the body, such as vitamins and minerals.

11- Extra-virgin olive oil

It is believed that olive oil has a role in protecting against cancer, so it is recommended to eat it daily, but not to excessively, as it is rich in calories.
