WEB DESK: Cancer can be proved fatal if reached to a certain severity. Medical science is still trying to search a cure for the ill fated disease and new developments are made each day. According to Reader’s Digest,it can be prevented right from your kitchen. Add some of these healthy foods to your diet to help prevent cancer and keep other diseases at bay.

1 Add garlic to everything you eat

Garlic contains sulfur compounds that may stimulate the immune system’s natural defenses against cancer, and may have the potential to reduce tumor growth

2 Snack on apples

When the natural fiber in apples ferments in the colon, it produces chemicals that help fight the formation of cancer cells, according to German research. Other studies have shown that one type of antioxidant found in apples, called procyanidins, triggered a series of cell signals that resulted in cancer cell death.

3 Make friends with cabbage

People who eat large amounts of cabbage have low rates of colon cancer, as well as other kinds of cancer. Cabbage contains bioflavonoids and other plant chemicals that inhibit tumor growth and protect cells from free radicals

4 Keep on drinking coffee

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute found that those who drink four or more cups of coffee a day (regular or decaf) have a 15 percent lower risk of colon cancer than those who do not drink coffee.

5 Have dates for dessert

Dates are higher in total polyphenols than any of the most commonly consumed fruits or vegetables, according to the USDA. The polyphenols, along with vitamin B6 and fiber, may help prevent certain types of cancer.

6 Eat the whole egg

Egg yolks are one of the few foods that contain vitamin D, which helps reduce the risks of some cancers, as well as heart disease and diabetes.

7 Snack on grapes and raisins
