Cancer is considered as the "silent killer" since it will just manifest its true nature when it has inflicted serious damage in your body - that most often lead to death. As the nation's second most deadly disease, cancer brings several risk factors with it. Thus, it is just logical that we take a good look at the foods we consume that are known to help reduce cancer risks.

• Foods that are rich in phytochemicals - found in beans and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, and brussels sprouts, are very strong options. 
• Dark green leafy vegetables such as romaine lettuce, spinach, collard greens, are pumped up with lutein, carotenoids, and fibers that make these vegetables cancer-fighting foods. 
• Tomatoes are also considered as cancer-fighting foods. Aside from its lycopene content, the antioxidant phytochemical it contains helps prevent heart disease. It's a good source of vitamins A, C, and E - your shield that battles against cancer-causing elements. You should try to add tomatoes on your salad or top it on your homemade pizza. Tomatoes are great ingredients for your favorite sandwich recipe too!
• The watermelon is stuffed with lots of antioxidants. A daily serving assures you of your 80% vitamin C daily requirement. It is also a great source of vitamin A and beta carotene. It also contains lycopene like tomatoes. 
• Berries such as strawberries and blueberries are rich in vitamin C and fiber. They are very simple finger foods that you can add on your favorite whole grain cereal meal, oatmeal, or low-fat yogurt.
