Stock up on Fruits and Veggies

Want to stock up on an anticancer diet? In the September 2010 issue of Ladies Home Journal, the magazine lists several fruits and veggies that can be part of your “Anticancer Diet”.

As a bonus, each of the listed foods goes great with oatmeal. So stock up and you’re on your way to a healthy cancer-fighting diet. See the listed foods below:

Blueberries: Blueberries contain pterostilbene. Pterostilbene is a phytochemical that may prevent colon cancer, according to a study in Clinical Cancer Research. Top your oatmeal with these delicious berries and enjoy.

Mangoes: “Mango extract can kill breast and colon-cancer cells without harming healthy cells, according research by Texas A & M University.” Tannins in the fruit can help fight the forming of the cancerous cells. Try this delicious bowl of oatmeal containing mangoes (Recipe from YumSugar)

Pomegranates: Another tannins-rich fruit that “inhibits the formation of estrogen.” Try some POM Wonderful juice splashed in your oatmeal, or have a glass with your morning breakfast.

Also listed were mushrooms. Try cooking up some Coach’s Oats Mushroom Risotto.
