Long live #Movember!

  • Mushrooms

    By SPUD.ca

     Mushrooms build the immune system with Beta Glucan compounds and lectin proteins, which have shown to attack cancer cells.

  • Pomegranates

    By SPUD.ca

    Poms reduce PSA doubling time, and help prevent prostate cancer reoccurance. 

  • Broccoli

    By SPUD.ca

    Cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, contain phytochemicals that reduce oxygen free radicals in the body, which creates a lower risk of prostate cancer. 

  • Yams

    By SPUD.ca

    Yams contain falcarinol, which reduces the risk of cancers. Sweet, and sweeter!

  • Tomatoes

    By SPUD.ca

    Rich in lycopene, which attacks free radicals, tomatoes are tasty and very good for you.

  • Kale

    By SPUD.ca

    Another cruciferous vegetable, kale is a super popular green vegetable that works well in salads, smoothies, or even as chips!

  • Carrots

    By SPUD.ca

    Carrots contain polyacetylene, which may have more anti-cancer properties than beta carotene. 

  • Cabbage

    By SPUD.ca

    The third cruciferous to make the list, cabbage can be found in many regional diets in soups, salads, wraps, and more.
