We all know that broccoli is hailed as the "crown of vegetables." Broccoli is not only rich in nutrients but also comprehensive in its nutritional content, and it also contains carotene. Broccoli can effectively reduce the incidence of breast cancer, colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, heart disease, and stroke, and it also has antibacterial and infection-preventing effects.
Radish has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-tumor effects, and it is very beneficial to the respiratory system, kidneys, digestive system, and metabolism. In addition, onions, garlic, and others also have excellent effects. Let's learn more about specific food therapy combinations.
Broccoli with radish. Cooking broccoli destroys its nutrient myrosinase, an enzyme that activates the cancer-fighting compound sulforaphane in broccoli. Radish also contains myrosinase, so eating them together can maximize the effect of broccoli's anti-cancer ingredients.
Brown rice with onions and garlic. Adding sautéed onions and garlic to brown rice promotes the absorption of iron and zinc from the rice. Research shows that the key players are the sulfides in the onions or garlic.
Salmon with turmeric powder. Salmon contains the omega-3 fatty acid DHA, and turmeric powder contains the powerful antioxidant curcumin; both ingredients have anti-cancer effects. Research shows that eating these two foods together has a stronger anti-cancer effect.
