OK, so maybe the "horse is already out of the barn," but I've made it my mission to consume more anti-cancer foods. Hey, it can't hurt. My darling and brilliant niece, Rachel, and her darling and brilliant husband, Nick, sent me a surprise get-well gift a few weeks ago -- a box of flax seed and lots and lots of green tea. Both are reportedly superior at fighting cancer, and, to illustrate this, Rachel made a card (see at right) that shows the green tea and other nutritious foods pounding the heck out of a nasty cancer dude. Hey, I'm convinced.
While I haven't eaten much of the flax seed yet (I will, I promise -- I'm SO looking forward to the much-touted "flax-seed muffins," ha!), I've enjoyed at least one cup of green tea daily (and your medicinal tea, too, Dino!), which is quite relaxing and so darn civilized.
Anyway, here's a list of other anti-cancer foods, in case you're interested in starting the new year off right:
- apricots
- blueberries
- broccoli
- brussel sprouts
- cabbage
- carrots
- cauliflower
- grapefruit
- grapes
- green beans
- lemons
- mangoes
- red onions
- oranges
- peaches
- peppers
- radishes
- squash
- strawberries
- sweet potatoes
- tangerines
- tomatoes
Until next time ...
