Eat Protective Foods!

According to the Cancer Research Foundation of America, 35 percent of all cancers may be linked to diet. Are you doing all that you can to eat healthy?Studies have shown that a diet low in fat and high in fruits, vegetables and fiber may protect you from many forms of cancer. But no one fruit or vegetable can do it all. To get the best cancer protection, variety is key. Here is why it is important to include the following foods in your diet:

• Low-fat foods. Not only does a low-fat diet help you stay trim, it also decreases your chances for cancer. As your dietary fat increases, so may your chances for developing cancer in your reproductive organs and your colon. To reduce the fat in your diet, start by making small changes. Begin your day with a bowl of low-fat cereal instead of a doughnut. Or, snack on fruit instead of chips.
• Fruits and vegetables. One of the reasons these foods are so good for you is that they are naturally low in fat. They also contain nutrients such as antioxidants and carotenoids, which may help your body resist and fight cancers. Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage may offer additional cancer protection. For adults, the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends 2½ to 6½ cups per day of fruits and vegetables. To add more fruits to your diet, try a frozen fruit slush. Mix some fresh fruit, your favorite fruit juice, ice and water and blend it until smooth. Or, keep some freshly cut vegetables in your refrigerator for quick and easy snacks.
• Fiber. You can get fiber by eating fruits, vegetables, beans and whole-grain foods. Because most forms of fiber are not digested by the body, fiber helps foods move more quickly through your colon. This reduces the amount of time that cancer-causing agents spend in the gastrointestinal tract.

There are many ways to increase the amount of fiber you eat. Choose bran cereals and whole wheat breads and crackers. When eating most fruits and vegetables, eat the whole thing, skin and all.Another way to get your daily nutrients is to drink 4 ounces of GoChi juice daily.  Not only does it contain the necessary vitamins and minerals your body needs, but this particular goji berry juice is high in Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBPs).  These polysaccharides are an essential component found in no other berry, and works with your body to enhance your immune system naturally!  It has also been scientifically proven to give you 19 health benefits within 30 days.  Want to know more?  Visit our main website at http://www.gojihealthappeal.com.
