Food that can save lives

The high pace of modern life dictates its own conditions to us.

We often just don't have enough time cooking healthy meals — it’s much easier, for example, to get by with the same fast food. Is it healthy? Hardly.

Meanwhile, there is a huge amount of tasty, healthy and quite affordable food in the world that can not only satisfy, but also protect the body from many dangerous diseases.

Here are some examples of the simplest types of food that can save a person not only time, but also life.

Beans

Research has shown that regular beans (when consumed regularly) can actually prolong human life.

In addition, the American Cancer Institute even released a brochure encouraging adding a small portion of beans to every meal.

It turned out that this helps to delay the development of cancer cells.

Blackberry

Blackberries protect the liver and brain, and also help strengthen the immune system. These berries are rich in antioxidants - that is, they delay the aging of the skin and the entire body.

Red cabbage

Generally speaking, any cruciferous vegetables are good for humans. However, red cabbage contains a unique compound – sulfofarane.

Oncologists from several countries claim that this compound may well prevent the emergence of cancer cells.

Mushrooms
Mushrooms contain unique nutrients, including an amino acid called ergothioneine, which increases the lifespan of cells.

Mushrooms are the world's only natural source of ergothioneine.

Flax-seed

And another product recommended by the American Health Association as an anti-cancer food. Flaxseed contains lignans, natural antioxidants.

Nuts

Doctors from China assure that every person should include ordinary walnuts in their diet.

The antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids they contain reduce the risk of stroke and suppress the risk of cancer cells.

Turmeric
This spice contains a pigment called curcumin, which plays an important role in preventing cancer cells, lung disease, and even brain disease.

Some doctors recommend that patients take turmeric after complex surgeries - among other things, it also has restorative properties.

Tea
Green and white teas have the potential to protect the human body from some serious diseases.

In addition, green tea can lower blood pressure, cholesterol and body fat levels.

However, doctors recommend not brewing tea, but chewing fresh leaves or adding them to smoothies.
