Anticancer foods
Vegetables (including legumes)
Vegetables provide the widest range of nutrients and phytochemicals. They are rich in vitamins, proteins and carbohydrates and contain fatty acids.
Fruits
Fruits are rich in many nutrients and phytochemicals, such as polyphenols and flavonoids.
Herbs and spices
“Add spice to your life” - Most of the commonly used spices and herbs have anticancer properties.
Grains
Grains are the most important food crop in the world. They are excellent sources of complex carbohydrates and high in fiber. It is important to understand that the process of refining the grain, by removing its bran and germ (for example when producing flour), results in the loss of many important nutrients. The refining is done because it increases the shelf life of the grain. Nowadays to compensate for such nutritional loss the end product, such as flour, is “enriched” with nutrients like vitamins, thiamine, and niacin. Moreover, the process of refining increases the food glycemic index. Maybe it would be wiser to just eat the whole grain rather than refining it and then adding back a little portion of nutrients.
