Can food be medicine against cancer? Yes, says medical research.

The everyday common superfoods against cancer are:

1.   Garlic

2.   Broccoli

3.   Tumeric

4.   Green tea

The secret to these common everyday foods is in the preparation:

1.   Garlic: Crush it and wait 10 minutes before cooking (or eating raw)

2.   Broccoli: Steam for less than 5 minutes and chew well

3.   Tumeric:

  • Add black pepper and oil to increase absorption

  • Add to scrambled eggs/toss with veggies

  • Add it to rice/ sprinkle on sautéed greens

  • Use in soup/use as a turmeric pickle of paste

  • Drink it as a turmeric latte/smoothie or tea

4.   Green tea:

  • Use the leaves (not teabags)

  • Boil the water

  • Wait 5 minutes

  • Take it on an empty stomach

It’s the method of preparation that is important in optimizing the anticancer benefits of these foods. There are many plant-based foods that are beneficial in preventing cancer and as well as helping in management.
