Research also shows that certain foods can prevent the development of cancer.

Berries

Berries like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries are a storehouse of antioxidants that help prevent cell damage and reduce inflammation, which may help prevent cancer.

Studies show that antioxidants protect the body from cell damage, thereby fighting skin, bladder, lung, breast and esophageal cancers.

Cruciferous vegetables

Expert Lauren Lepley said that cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce... contain compounds that can help prevent cancer.

These compounds may help detoxify the body, reduce inflammation, and prevent the growth of cancer cells.

Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage contain compounds that may help prevent cancer.

Green tea

Green tea contains polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants that may help prevent cancer, explains Lepley.

Research has shown that green tea can help prevent many types of cancer, including breast, prostate and lung cancer, according to Express.

A 2019 article published in the scientific journal Nutrients found that green tea consumption reduces the risk of colorectal cancer.

Garlic

Garlic contains sulfur compounds that can help prevent cancer by stopping the growth of cancer cells and reducing inflammation in the body, explains Lepley.

A study recently published in the European Journal of Nutrition medical journal has concluded that garlic has the ability to fight bowel cancer.

Turmeric

Turmeric contains curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may help prevent cancer, says Lepley.

Research has shown that curcumin may help prevent many types of cancer, including breast, colon, and prostate cancer.
