\"\"<\/a>For years, experts have said that eating the right kinds of food can help the body fight certain kinds of cancer. Studies show that eating so-called \u201cSuperfoods\u201d that are high in antioxidants can help in the fight against cancer.<\/p>\n

Lima beans and breast cancer<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the hit medical show Dr. Oz, an expert suggests lima beans as a cancer fighting food. Lima beans are said to cut off the blood supple to cancer cells.<\/p>\n

\u201cLima beans contain a natural cancer fighter that cause breast cancer cells to die, Dr. William Li said on the Dr. Oz<\/a> Show. \u201cEating lima beans can lower risk of breast cancer by 24 percent. You can purchase them in the freezer section.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Li suggested steaming or saut\u00e9ing lima beans in a little olive oil. To get the maximum benefits, eat 1 cup per day. Lima beans are also high in fiber.<\/p>\n

Bean power<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Lima beans aren\u2019t the only bean getting attention. \u201cDiets rich in legumes are being used to lower cholesterol levels, improve blood glucose control in diabetics, and reduce the risk of many cancers,\u201d Dr. Michael T. Murray said. \u201cLegumes contain many important nutrients and phytochemicals, and when combined with grains, they form a complete protein.\u201d<\/p>\n

Studies support the power of beans<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murray says data collected by validated food frequency questionnaires from 90,630 women in the Nurses Health Study II found a significant reduced frequency of breast cancer in those women who consumed a higher intake of common beans or lentils.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was not surprising, what was surprising was that only beans and lentils seemed to offer protection,\u201d he said. \u201cIntake of tea, onions, apples, string beans, broccoli, green pepper, or blueberries had not protective effect. Eating beans or lentils two or more times per week was associated with a 24% reduced risk of breast cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
