Foods that Fight Cancer - Continued
- Blueberries
 Apart from the high antioxidant content, blueberries also help prevent bladder infections and there is preliminary evidence that berries can thwart cholesterol and help prevent liver cancer. Blueberries are not sour and can be eaten raw, but adding them to muffins, squares and loaves is still a great idea.
- Cloves, ground
Who would have thought that cloves, a great addition to anything from chicken dishes to Christmas mince pies, could have magic health boosting properties? While it's more difficult to get your daily antioxidant injection from this spice - simply because we generally use it in small quantities - try to incorporate it in your diet via baked meats, stews, in citrus dishes, and salad dressings.
- Unsweetened Grape juice
You already know that a daily glass of wine can kick-start your health. But plain old grape juice seems to be even better - at least when it comes to levels of antioxidants, and without affecting your liver! Research shows that red grape juice can improve cholesterol levels and inflammatory markers associated with heart disease. This action has been linked to the antioxidant content of the juice.
- Cranberry Juice
 As fresh, raw cranberries are too tart to eat, cranberry juice is the ideal way to tap the benefits of this fruit. Try to drink a small glass of cranberry juice every day - especially if you are prone to urinary tract infections. Or combine cranberry juice with iced rooiboos (or other herbal) tea for a refreshing summer drink.< << back
