Hi folks, this is Dr. Sam and I wanted to share some research that highlights how important eating a plant-based diet is, not just for eye health, but for preventing cancer. In this review, the researchers concluded that a plant-based diet that is high in phytochemicals and antioxidants may reduce the risk of developing cancer.
So some foods that include these phytochemicals include things like:
- cruciferous vegetables
- avocados
- asparagus
- green leafy vegetables
Some herbs rich in phytochemicals include:
- turmeric
- ginger
- saffron
So I highly recommend considering adding some of these foods into your diet, as they may serve as a powerful tool for reducing the risk of developing cancer.
