My favorite winter fruits are starting to appear in the market--clementines! They are so sweet and so portable, a perfect lunchbox snack for kids as well as adults.Everyone knows citrus fruits contain Vitamin C, but more importantly, they can help fight cancer too. Oranges and other citrus fruits provide several anticancer phytochemical compounds, according to Foods to Fight Cancer. And the book Anticancer: A New Way of Life specifically recommends the grated zest of tangerines as a food that fights brain cancer. (Of course, organic tangerines make sense if you are going to eat the zest.)
We love citrus as is, or stirred into yogurt. DD17 will stir tangerine zest into yogurt, too. And most of us will have a glass of juice in the morning, with our breakfast. Citrus really is an easy addition to the cancer-fighting diet.
