Cancer Prevention Cabbage Salad
Good nutrition is important if you want to prevent cancer. Add anti – cancer food in your daily diet.
Cabbage of all different types is serious superfood. As one of the members of the cruciferous family, it contains real fat-burning compounds. Napa cabbage contains the highest amounts of the essential B vitamin, folate.
Folate is especially important to synthesize and repair our cells’ DNA, which helps to maintain healthy cell division.
Unhealthy cell division results in mutations and cancerous cells, so maintaining healthy DNA is essential to avoiding cancer.
Folate is also absolutely necessary for healthy pregnancies and maintaining healthy nerve growth and spinal cord growth in fetuses.
Folate also helps to prevent B-vitamin related anemia.
All cruciferous vegetables fight cancer with some amazing phytochemicals. Cabbage contains glucosinolates that have some real cancer-fighting potential.
Hundreds of studies have looked at cabbage and cruciferous vegetables and their cancer-destroying properties.
