Anti Cancer Recipes

I am sure if you have done any research into alternative cancer treatments that certain foods have certain cancer-fighting properties. But what would happen if you got more than one of those and made a meal out of it? Would it help in your fight against cancer? The answer is a resounding “Yes!”. Why?

There are currently more than 40 studies underway to see if a specific food combination has better or worse health benefits. Some of the earliest results show that certain foods put together offer much greater cancer prevention properties than any of the foods do all by themselves.

We all know the Omega 3 oils in salmon are hard on cancer cells. Cruciferous vegetables also have anti-cancer properties. What about putting a meal together with a filet of salmon on a bed of watercress and beautiful bunch of broccoli beside it with some crushed walnuts sprinkled on top. That actually sounds like a very expensive fancy restaurant meal. It is also a cancer killer combination beyond compare.

Why? Because each of these foods has certain cancer-fighting ingredients. But something almost magical happens when they are combined into one dish. When you put all of them together they are extremely high in two nutrients- sulphoraphane and selenium. The combination of these two nutrients is said to be 13 times more effective than either one of them alone.

Beyond that, the sulphoraphane found in broccoli also becomes an anti-cancer dynamo when combined with lycopene or with apigenin (another flavaonoid). Apigenin is found in apples, endive, beans, broccoli, celery, cherries, cloves, grapes, leeks, onions, barley, parsley and tomatoes. So anything you can imagine that sounds good that combines these will get you many times the cancer-fighting properties of the single food by itself.

Another way to create anti-cancer recipes is to eat meals that combine foods of different colors. When combined they are more likely to give your body what it needs to prevent or fight cancer than if the majority of your meal was all a single color of food. The combinations are endless and the beneficial effects are well worth the effort.

If this whole concept is not new to you there may be a reason why. Even though science has always studied one food at a time, we don’t eat that way. We always eat more than one food at a time. But in the past we’ve usually combined foods together for recipes based on who they taste together rather than how the combination would benefit us nutritionally.

I’d suggest giving it some thought and trying to design some cancer recipes for your family based on evidence of their health-protecting value. As these studies are published I would anticipate cookbooks being designed around a diet for preventing cancer, heart disease, autoimmune disease, or any of the other health challenges that are out of control today. Make sense? Sure does to me. Here’s my challenge. Beat them to the punch and make your own recipe collection. You could be one of the first.
