Antioxidants in Cancer Prevention/Hairloss Solutions

Filed under: Hair Loss Information, Cancer in the News — Marilyn Robinson @ 2:41 pm

Laboratory studies have reported evidence supporting the role of antioxidants in cancer prevention.
As clinical trials of antioxidant supplementation are inconsistent, and the efficacy during treatment is still being debated, we recommend obtaining antioxidants through food sources. Research suggests that diets containing antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables may lower the risk of certain cancers

Some recommended antioxidant-rich foods:

Foods containing antioxidant-based vitamins and minerals
• Beta-carotene - typically found in orange-colored foods such as sweet potatoes, carrots, squash and mangos. Spinach, kale, broccoli, and collard and turnip greens also are good sources.
• Selenium - brazil nuts and seafood such as tuna and cod.
• Vitamin A - leafy greens such as spinach and kale, carrots and cantaloupe.
• Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) - citrus fruit such as oranges, grapefruit, red and green peppers, kiwifruit, broccoli and strawberries.
• Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) - wheat germ, sunflower seeds, almonds and cooked tomatoes (tomato paste, tomato products, etc.).
