Not only does cabbage contain cancer-protecting plant compounds called flavonoids but, also, a Finnish study has found that the fermentation process involved in making sauerkraut produces several other cancer-fighting compounds, including ITCs, indoles and sulphoraphane. Rinse canned or bottled sauerkraut to reduce the salt.Steam rather than microwave broccoli. Broccoli is a cancer-preventing superfood, one you should eat frequently. To preserve its nutrients, steam it, eat it raw or add it to soups and salads.Sprinkle Brazil nuts over your salad. They’re a rich form of selenium, a trace mineral that convinces cancer cells to commit suicide and helps cells to repair their DNA. A Harvard study of more than 1000 men with prostate cancer also found that those with the highest blood levels of selenium were 48 per cent less likely to develop advanced disease over 13 years than men with the lowest levels.Take a calcium supplement with vitamin D. A US study suggests that these supplements reduce colon polyps (a risk factor for colon cancer) in susceptible people. And make sure that all the dairy products in your diet are fat-free – you’ll get all the calcium benefits with none of the detriments of saturated fat.Add garlic to everything you eat. Garlic contains sulphur compounds that may stimulate the immune system’s natural defences against cancer, and may have the potential to reduce tumour growth. Studies suggest that garlic can reduce the incidence of stomach cancer by as much as a factor of twelve.Sauté 2 cloves of crushed garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then mix in a can of chopped tomatoes. Stir gently until heated and serve over wholemeal pasta. The lycopene in the tomatoes protects against colon, prostate and bladder cancers; the olive oil helps your body to absorb the lycopene; the fibre-filled pasta reduces your risk of colon cancer; and see above for garlic. Plus, it tastes good – a perfect combination.Whenever you go to the toilet, drink a glass of water. A major 1996 US study found that men who drank six 250-ml glasses of water every day cut their risk of bladder cancer by 50 per cent. Another study suggests that women who drink more water reduce their risk of colon cancer by up to 45 per cent.Take up a tea habit. The healing powers of green tea have long been valued in Asia. Now new research reveals that it protects against various cancers as well as heart disease. Some scientists believe that a chemical in green tea called EGCG could be one of the most powerful anti-cancer compounds ever discovered.Grill some salmon tonight. Australian researchers studying Canadians found that those who ate four or more servings of fish a week were nearly a third less likely to develop the blood cancers leukaemia, myeloma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Other studies show a link between eating fatty fish (salmon, tuna, sardines and mackerel) and a reduced risk of endometrial cancer in women – again attributed to omega-3s.Get about 15 minutes of sunlight on your skin each day. You’ve heard of the sunshine vitamin, vitamin D; it turns out that many of us aren’t getting enough of this valuable nutrient, possibly because we are always advised to protect against sun damage. Researchers find that getting too little vitamin D may increase your risk of multiple cancers, including breast, colon, prostate, ovarian and stomach cancers, as well as osteoporosis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and hypertension. UVB rays in natural and artificial sunlight are the best source. About 15 minutes a day is enough. To protect against skin cancer, always avoid over-exposure.Eat a kiwi fruit. Kiwi fruit is a little powerhouse of cancer-fighting antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin E, lutein and copper. You can also rub a couple of cut kiwi fruits on a low-fat cut of meat as a tenderiser.Use a condom and stick to one partner. The more sexual partners a woman has, the greater her risk of contracting human papillomavirus, or HPV, which causes cervical cancer. Having one unfaithful partner also increases a woman’s risk.Cut out high-fat animal protein. A Yale University study found that women who ate the most animal protein had a 70 per cent higher risk of developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, while those who ate diets high in saturated fat increased their risk by 90 per cent. So switch to low-fat or fat-free dairy products, have poultry or fish instead of beef or pork, and use olive oil instead of butter.Ask your partner to feed you grapes. They’re great sources of resveratrol, the cancer-protecting compound found in wine, but without the alcohol of wine, which can increase the risk of breast cancer in women. Plus, the closeness such an activity engenders strengthens your immune system.Sprinkle green onions on your salad. A diet high in onions may reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 50 per cent and the effects are strongest when they’re eaten raw or lightly cooked. Try green onions, shallots or chives for a milder taste. Squeeze a fresh lemon or lime. A daily dose of citrus fruits may cut the risk of mouth, throat and stomach cancers by half, Australian researchers found. So squeeze in some lemon or lime juice to add a bit of zing to your meals.Take a 30-minute walk after dinner every evening. That’s all it takes to reduce your breast cancer risk, according to a study conducted in Seattle. It turns out that moderate exercise reduces levels of oestrogen, a hormone that contributes to breast cancer. When 170 overweight, inactive women, aged between 50 and 75, did some form of moderate exercise for about 3 hours a week, their levels of circulating oestrogen dropped significantly after three months. After a year, those who lost at least 2 per cent of their body fat had even greater decreases in oestrogen. Another study suggested that 4 hours a week of walking or hiking could halve the risk of pancreatic cancer. The benefits were probably related to improved insulin metabolism as a result of the exercise.Buy clothes that don’t need to be dry-cleaned. Many drycleaners still use a chemical called perc (perchloroethylene), found to cause kidney and liver damage and cancer in animals repeatedly exposed through inhalation. Buying clothes that don’t require dry-cleaning, or handwashing them yourself, can reduce your exposure to this chemical. If you must dry-clean your clothes, take them out of the plastic bag and air them outside or in another room before wearing.Choose cucumbers instead of pickles, fresh salmon instead of smoked. Studies find that smoked and pickled foods contain various carcinogens.
