Dear all steemit!! Lets keep healthy

Research suggests these five common foods can help you and your family lower your risk of cancer.

CARROTS
Like kale and spinach, carrots pack carotenoids, an antioxidant group that may help prevent rectal cancer.

GRAINS
All prepackaged bread, cereal, flour and pasta in the U.S. contains folic acid, which wards off birth defects and can lower your risk of colon cancer.

TOMATOES
Cooked tomatoes are especially good for the guys in your life—they contain a carotenoid called lycopene that might lower prostate cancer.

FIBER
Fare rich in fiber, including certain cereals, root and other types of vegetables, and legumes, seems to protect against colon cancer.

GARLIC
The World Health Organization advises adding about a clove a day to foods; it may lower your risk of colon, stomach and breast cancers.
