30 Days of Self Healing – Day 14
4) Red Bell Peppers– Red bell peppers have the highest antioxidant activity of the most common vegetables (broccoli was second), says a Cornell University study. This means that antioxidants in red peppers are highly effective at protecting cells from damage. In other research, antioxidants from red peppers, cabbage, and spinach have been found to stop the spread of liver cancer cells cultured in lab dishes. ?Use red bell peppers on salads every chance you get, or stuff them with low-fat meat and brown rice as part of your self-healing meals.
5) Salmon– I love salmon for its taste, but it also tops the fish list for its impressive résumé of healing benefits. Salmon is loaded with omega-3 fats, known to combat heart disease, cancer, dementia, depression, and even obesity. Salmon is also:
a) High in easily digested protein to help the body repair
b) A great source of health-protective vitamin D
c) Rich in the antioxidant mineral selenium, which protects cells and helps the body build new protein.
Ask for wild salmon at your grocery store, as it contains fewer toxins than the farmed variety.
