Foods That Fight For You
About five years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had always been a healthy person, and frankly I was in tip top shape when I found out. I didn’t even feel like I was sick, but tests and biopsies said differently. I had surgery, underwent radiation and healed, physically and emotionally. After that experience I became much more aware of the dangers our bodies face. Even the bodies that aren’t daring disease to a game of chicken like smokers and fast food eaters.
I love that vegan diets minimize the risks for so many awful things like heart disease, diabetes, strokes, cancer etc. I try to eat foods that I know will fight for me and help my body avoid the pretty grisly stuff I went through in my early twenties.
So, here (and thanks to Oprah) are 31 antiangiogenic foods that we can eat that will kick some cancer booty. All vegan. All delectable.

Read the article to learn about the science behind what makes these foods so great at fighting cancer. We eat many of these foods daily without even thinking about the big C. But perhaps you, like me, after reading this list will be more actively putting them into your diet. Who says disease prevention isn’t fun! And tasty.
