Broccoli Since most people eat broccoli, it’ll be easy to convince you to continue to do so if you want
protection from various forms of cancer due to its sulphoraphane and indole content. Its flavonoids help
boost the immune system, and protect against macular degeneration and cataracts. It’s high in calcium
and vitamin C and contains compounds that can help lower “bad” cholesterol. Look for the darker color
(avoid yellow and brown patches) and eat the leaves and stems!!!!
Tofu and Soy
The FDA says, consumption of 25 grams of Soy protein a day will help reduce the risk for coronary heart
disease, and helps lower high blood pressure. It has been found to protect our bones from weakening
and becoming brittle, especially in women experiencing menopause.
In adolescents, studies showed that regular intake of soy may provide protective benefits and decrease
the risk for developing breast cancer later in life. Soy is higher in fat compared to other beans like navy
and pinto beans, but it’s the Omega-3’s, the GOOD FAT!!
