Eat Your Broccoli

Researchers have found that broccoli – and other cruciferous vegetables such as kale and cabbage – can actually kill cancer cells. In fact, it seems that the naturally-occurring chemicals in these super foods can put the brakes on human breast cancer cells, prevent the reproduction of prostate cancer cells, and reduce the risk of other types of cancer as well.

One study done at Johns Hopkins University showed that this yummy food stimulates the body to produce its own antioxidant enzyme, which can help fend off tumors by protecting DNA from damage.

Pass the broccoli, please!
