According to recent statistics the rising incidence of skin
cancer is one of the main problems in United States. Considering that
this condition appears to be becoming an epidemic, very critical is to
develop new approaches to primary and secondary prevention. As
consequences we can see many studies exploring the therapeutic value of
natural ingredients and researches suggest that common fruit and
vegetables extracts may have an important clinical benefits in lowering
risk for skin cancer.
It is well-known that fruits and vegetables contain a variety of minerals and vitamins and other bioactive substances that include lutein, flavonoids, folic acid, vitamins C and E, and fiber. The folic acid has a key role in repair and synthesis of DNA, and all dark green leafy vegetables are very rich in it. So, new findings show with no doubt that higher intakes of green leafy vegetables may help prevent Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) tumors among patients who have prior skin cancers.
Another new finding is that pigment that gives certain fruits their dark red colors has an antioxidant activity higher than that of green tea and red wine. Researchers evaluated that pomegranate fruit extract (PFE) is capable of inhibiting conventional as well as new biomarkers of TPA-induced tumors and they may have chemopreventive action in a wide category of tumor models.

Thanks for this list of reasons to have green foods. I was not actually looking for them for a salad strictly. I was actually interested in them for another reason. I stir fried some greens today and added crushed raw peanuts to them- tasted great.
ReplyDeleteVegetables are healthy and sometimes, those that we have need of in a salad or elsewhere are hard to find. Substitutes are available but sometimes hard to think of. By looking at your tips I have been able to learn more.
