2. Grapes
Resveratrol, a common compound found in red grapes, is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from death caused by oxidation. Grape seeds offer many benefits, so it is recommended not to consume seedless grapes.
3. Tomatoes
Tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant that attacks stray oxygen molecules called free radicals, which are suspected of triggering cancer. They are also rich in vitamin C, an antioxidant that can prevent cell damage leading to cancer. Studies show that lycopene can kill oral cancer cells, and increased lycopene consumption is linked to a reduced risk of breast, prostate, pancreatic, and colon cancer. To maximize the benefits, avoid canned tomatoes and opt for fresh or bottled tomatoes.
