Anti-Cancer Soup

A simple and effective way to lower your risk of developing cancer is to eat cabbage on a regular basis.

Cabbage belongs to the Cruciferous family of vegetables - other prominent Cruciferous vegetables include kale, Bok Choy, cauliflower, and broccoli.

Phytonutrients found in cabbage and other Cruciferous vegetables can stimulate the production of enzymes that can detoxify your cells, leading to efficient elimination of free radicals, toxins, and potential carcinogens from your body.

Perhaps the most powerful, anti-cancer phytonutrient found in cabbage and other Cruciferous vegetables is indole-3-carbinole, a compound that stimulates cellular detoxification, including estrogen detoxification. Indole-3-carbinole's ability to prevent estrogen dominance is what makes Cruciferous vegetables like cabbage an excellent food choice for cancer prevention, particularly breast cancer prevention.

This recipe is also really delicious if you replace the chickpeas with a tin of butter beans, rinsed and drained.
