Broccoli is an excellent health food, but it is not a treatment for cancer.
How can we benefit from it?
Prioritize:
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Kale
Brussels sprouts
Red cabbage
Light steaming generally helps to preserve more beneficial compounds.
2. Garlic
Garlic has been used for its medicinal properties since ancient times.
It notably contains allicin, a molecule produced when garlic is crushed or cut.
What science says
Experimental studies show that certain sulfur compounds in garlic could:
Reduce inflammation
Promote cell repair
Influencing certain processes involved in tumor growth
Several epidemiological studies have observed an association between higher garlic consumption and a reduced risk of certain digestive cancers.
However, the results sometimes remain contradictory.
Myth or reality?
More realistic, but with caution.
Garlic appears to be a protective food as part of an overall healthy diet, but the evidence does not support its use as an anti-cancer remedy.
Handy tip
Crush the garlic and let it rest for about 10 minutes before cooking to promote the formation of allicin.
