Cancer Awareness Tip

Scientists from Georgetown University Medical Center say that eating plenty of crunchy vegetables will cut your risk of lung cancer? The key lies in a sulfur-like compound found in the cabbage family — broccoli, cauliflower, kale, turnips, collard greens, brussels sprouts, cabbage, rutabaga, Chinese cabbage, bok choy, horseradish, radishes, and watercress.

Eating any of these nutrient-rich vegetables will help reduce your risk, the researchers say. And they're all high in fiber and low in calories, so they'll leave you feeling full and satisfied for hours after you eat.

Also, researchers have found that exercising five days a week can slash your risk by 20 percent or more! No pill can promise that! Moderate exercise, such as walking, cycling, or swimming, seemed to provide the best protection.
