Including powerful antioxidants in your diet is key in fighting or preventing cancer. A great way to start the day is to include berries for breakfast. Later meals throughout the day including cruciferous vegetables will continue your cancer fighting diet. Cruciferous vegetables are vegetables of the family Brassicaceae (also called Cruciferae) with many genera, species, and cultivars being raised for food production such as cauliflower, cabbage, kale, garden cress, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and similar green leaf vegetables. The family takes its alternative name (Cruciferae, New Latin for "cross-bearing") from the shape of their flowers, whose four petals resemble a cross. When cooked properly they are both delicious and vital cancer fighting tools.
