There are a number of foods that can help protect your body against cancer. To help prevent ovarian cancer and other types of cancer, try incorporating the following foods into your diet:
- Beans: Beans contain phytochemicals, which help cells from becoming damaged. The fiber in the beans also helps fight digestive cancers.
- Berries: Ellagic acid and anthocyanosides, two cancer-fighting compounds, are abundant in berries. Load up on strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.
- Cruciferous Vegetables: Broccoli, cabbage, kale and other cruciferous vegetables help slow cancer growth and development.
- Leafy Green Vegetables: Leafy greens contain the antioxidants called carotenoids. These help protect the body from free radicals, which can damage cells.
- Garlic: Garlic contains compounds that can help slow or stop the formation of tumors.
- Grapes and Red Wine: Red wine and grapes contain resveratol, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, that helps prevent cellular damage.
- Tomatoes: Tomatoes and tomato sauces contain lycopene, which helps protect the body from a number of cancers.
- Whole Grains: Whole grains contain a number of cancer-fighting compounds, including fiber.
