EAT YOUR VEGGIES Vegetables are full of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that provide many important health benefits to your body. A number of studies suggest that a diet rich in cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli and cabbage) may lower rates of a variety of cancers, including breast, pancreatic, bladder, lung, prostate and colon cancer. Certain enzymes in cruciferous veggies can help protect cell DNA from damage, and others have antioxidant properties. |
