Berries

Several types of berries, including strawberries, blackberries, black raspberry, and blueberries have been studied for their protective role against cancer. Berries are loaded with beneficial properties. They are rich in antioxidants, as well as vitamin C, quercitin, manganese, and dietary fiber.

Additionally, berries contain anthocyanins, which give them their bright colors, as well several other beneficial compounds such as resveretrol and ellagitannins. In both animal and human studies, a diet rich in berries has been found to be protective against cancers of the esophagus, stomach, colon and breast.

Try This

Luckily, berries tend to be delicious and can be snacked on alone, with nuts, or easily blended into smoothies, tossed onto oatmeal, salads, or mashed up into compotes (minimize sugar to maintain the healthful benefits).

Aim for 4-6 servings of berries per week. If you cannot find them fresh or in season, frozen organic berries are a reasonable and easy-to-find alternative.
