For today's Nutrition Bite, celery is taking center stage.
When it comes to green veggies, celery isn’t often in the spotlight. But while it may not be as “in vogue” as kale, Brussel sprouts, or avocados, the humble celery stalk packs a mighty punch when it comes to your health.
Even though it’s about 95% water, celery contains two anti-cancer compounds: apigenin and luteolin.
A study in the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition found that apigenin was effective at causing apoptosis (cell suicide) in numerous types of cancer cells — particularly human breast cancer cells.
Additionally, research suggests that eating two stalks of celery 2-3 times a week can help reduce your risk of lung cancer by 60%.
This is just one example of how you can prevent cancer with food.
In fact, research is now confirming that the vast majority of cancer cases are caused by diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors (which YOU control), not genetics.
At the end of the day, cancer doesn’t care how much you know. It cares what you eat and how you live.
