When it comes to health and wellbeing, what you eat plays the biggest role of all. The particular diet you maintain affects your weight and energy levels, your mood and mental capacities, and also how well we fight off sickness and the perils of aging. Your body is composed of a great many proteins and bacteria and tiny organic building blocks that must come from somewhere–that somewhere is food.

Given the vast array of components the body requires to not only keep itself in a healthy equilibrium, but also to build and repair, it makes sense that there are some foods that are better than others at providing the right tools for that job. An article on Examiner has put together a wide-ranging list of the foods that offer various anti-aging and cancer-fighting benefits:

As part of your anti-cancer diet, pick up a handful of berries, which are great antioxidants which fight free radicals and may also help keep cancer from growing or spreading. Tasty choices include blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries.

Green tea is helpful with cancer prevention in that it has anti-tumor effects. Green tea contain more Polyphenols than black tea. The polyphenols are chemicals that act as powerful antioxidants and are said to not only inhibit an enzyme required for cancer cell growth, but also kill cancer cells with no ill effect on healthy cells.

With the right diet, our body will be setup with the material to rebuild itself and fight off degenerating illness. Check out the rest of the post for the full list.
