February 4th has been declared World Cancer Day. Every month we write about the risks and symptoms of the different types of cancer and how to try to prevent them. In broad terms, you can prevent this disease by having an active, healthy lifestyle.

Today we will be more specific. Here are seven super foods that serve as a “prevention diet”. They are antioxidants, high in protein, magnesium and phytochemicals.

1) Garlic
2) Broccoli
3) Tomatoes
4) Strawberries
5) Carrots
6) Spinach
7) Whole grains: whole wheat / quinoa

Try incorporating them in your daily diet. Whether it’s drinking fresh strawberry juice throughout the day or having carrots with lemon and chili powder as a midday snack, it’s easy to include them in your meal plan.

In the upcoming months, we will be posting simple yet delicious recipes that include these super foods as their main ingredient. If you have a healthy recipe you would like to share, send it to us here and it will be featured on our blog BEhealthy as well as our Google+ page. In the meantime, don’t forget to visit your doctor for your annual check up!
