How Eating 1.5 Cups of Arugula a Day May Reduce Lung Cancer Risk by 15%

Welcome to our video on the benefits of arugula for cancer prevention, brought to you by BeatCancer.Org - a nonprofit organization that has been helping cancer patients heal holistically for over 45 years.

Did you know that arugula, also known as roquette or rocket, is a cruciferous green that is rich in phytochemicals like indoles, thiocyanates, sulforaphane, and isothiocyanates? These nutrients have been found to counter the carcinogenic effects of estrogen and help protect against prostate, ovarian, and breast cancer. They also help prevent cervical and colon cancer through cancer cell growth inhibition and cytotoxic effects on cancer cells.

Arugula also contains two cancer fighters called kaempferol and quercetin that are released when you chew. In fact, one study found that eating a cup and a half of leafy greens like arugula per day reduced the risk of lung cancer by 15% in nonsmokers.

It is important to note that no single food can cure cancer and that the evidence for the effects of arugula on cancer in humans is limited. It is generally recommended to eat a varied and healthy diet to support overall health and well-being.

If you're interested in incorporating more plant-based foods into your diet for cancer prevention and support, our ABCD diet book may be a helpful resource. It is a simple, reader-friendly alphabetical guide that lists the key anti-cancer properties of 120 specific plant foods and summarizes the latest scientific research on their potential role in cancer prevention, prevention of recurrence, and support during and after treatment.

Remember, the ultimate goal at BeatCancer.org is not to shrink or eliminate tumors, but to support the body's natural defenses against cancer by changing the biological terrain, repairing and balancing body chemistry, and enhancing immune response.
