"Real food provides better dietary benefits than processed options, which is why I advocate for fresh over powdered greens." ~ Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily: ·     Spinach is particularly beneficial for cancer survivors due to its rich nutrient profile, including iron, folate, and vitamins A, K, and manganese.·     Collard greens are excellent sources of vitamins A, C, and calcium, with significant anti-inflammatory properties.·     Cabbage and its relatives, like Brussels sprouts and kale, are rich in vitamins B, C, and folate, offering nutritional benefits and anti-cancer properties.·     Bok choy is a nutritious addition to soups, providing vitamins C, A, and K, though it needs proper cooking to avoid a tough texture.·     Watercress, known for its spicy, bitter taste, is nutrient-dense and can help reduce DNA damage, though its seasonal nature sometimes makes it hard to find.·     Adding a variety of colored vegetables to your diet is crucial for obtaining diverse antioxidants and improving overall health.·     Romaine lettuce might be more beneficial than kale in some cases, offering a range of vitamins and nutrients.·     Arugula and microgreens are bold-tasting options with high nutritional value and should be included in a balanced diet. Guest Contact Information:https://www.JacquiBryan.com (https://www.JacquiBryan.com)The #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot and Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcast by CancerCare News, Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in more than 91 countries on six continents and has over 300 original daily episodes hosted by stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg!   To learn more about Host Saranne Rothberg and The ComedyCures Foundation:https://www.comedycures.org/ (https://www.comedycures.org/) To write to Saranne or a guest:https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8 (https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8) To record a message to Saranne or a guest:https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_Suggestions (https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_Suggestions) To sign up for the free Health Builder Series live on Zoom with Saranne and Jacqui, go to The ComedyCures Foundation's homepage:https://www.comedycures.org/ (https://www.comedycures.org/) Please support the creation of more original episodes of Beating Cancer Daily and other free ComedyCures Foundation programs with a tax-deductible contribution:http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate (http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate) THANK YOU!
