Supermarket Cancer-Fighters

To fight cancer with San Marzano tomatoes, available in the canned tomato section of most grocery stores, use them when making pasta or pizza sauce. Or, simply slice them and serve as a side dish with a little basil, olive oil and vinegar. Eat three times a week.

Coffee

A recent study found that women who drank at least 4 cups of caffeinated coffee  had a 25% lower risk of developing uterine cancer compared to those who drank less than 1 cup of coffee a day.  Plus, this pick-me-up has been shown to can reduce the risk of a host of cancers including breast, uterine, kidney, liver, colon and prostate.

You don’t need to buy European or fancy roasts to fight cancer. In fact, drinking lighter roasts such as American roasted beans is superior because they contain more cancer-fighting antioxidants and caffeic acid, shown to suppress certain cells.

By drinking just 1 cup of regular coffee per day, you can reduce your risk of all cancers by 3%.  To get the full benefit of coffee’s cancer-fighting properties, drink 3 cups a day, unless you find this amount too stimulating.
