These 5 Fruits Kill Cancer and 5 Foods to Avoid for a Healthier Lifestyle - STORY PLUS TV

Eating a variety of fruits on a regular basis can lead to a long list of health benefits, including a reduced risk of cancer.
“Fruits are an important — and very delicious — part of a healthy, plant-based diet,” says Candice Schreiber, RD, CSO, LD, a clinical nutritionist at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James).
“They help fight inflammation, and chronic inflammation is a pre-curser to cancer,” she says, adding that the nutrients, vitamins and phytochemicals in fruit can possibly stop carcinogens before they have a chance to begin developing cancer, and can block the formation of new blood vessels tumors need to grow. Nutrients in fruits can also stimulate the immune system and act as antioxidants.
Schreiber recommends 1.5 to 2 cups of a variety of fruits a day.
“Not many Americans meet this requirement,” she says. “Eat as many different fruits you can, as no single one can protect you from cancer. A healthy diet, regular exercise and maintaining a proper weight are the best prevention tools.”
