Introduction: Cancer Fighting Foods & Healthy Weight Control
CLASS 4 of our 5 Part Series
NEW RECIPES EACH WEEK

Antioxidants and the body’s immune system are both critically important in fighting cancer. Cancer-fighting compounds such as antioxidants, mainly found in fruits and vegetables, assist in halting free-radical damage, which can otherwise lead to cancer development. This class will explore foods that are rich in protective compounds and immune-boosting nutrients such as beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamin C, and zinc. It is important to be generous with a variety of vegetables and fruits as you plan your menu. Studies have demonstrated the ability of diets rich in vegetables and fruits to boost immunity and to reduce the likelihood that cancer will develop in the first place. Based on scientific research, vegans have approximately double the natural killer cell activity (natural killer cells engulf and destroy cancer cells), compared with non-vegans. Enjoy a colorful, scrumptious, immune-boosting meal.
