Filling your plate with colorful fruits, vegetables, and whole grains provides antioxidants and fiber that protect your cells from damage. Cruciferous vegetables — like broccoli, kale, and Brussels sprouts — are particularly powerful for supporting cellular health.

Microgreens pack up to 40 times more nutrients than mature vegetables. Broccoli microgreens, in particular, are rich in sulforaphane, a plant compound linked to cancer-protective properties. Studies suggest sulforaphane may help neutralize toxins, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural detox systems.

Try adding a handful of broccoli or kale microgreens to salads, smoothies, or sandwiches for an easy nutrient boost.

Regular health screenings and early detection tests can catch potential problems early. Consult your healthcare provider about which screenings are right for your age and family history.

Regular exercise helps maintain a healthy weight and reduces levels of hormones associated with some cancers. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity, like brisk walking or cycling, most days of the week.

Being overweight increases your risk for several cancers, including breast, colon, and liver. Focus on balanced meals, portion control, and staying active to keep your body strong and balanced.

Even moderate drinking can increase the risk of certain cancers. If you drink, do so in moderation — ideally no more than one drink per day for women and two for men.

Smoking is still one of the leading causes of preventable cancers. Quitting smoking and avoiding secondhand smoke are among the most effective steps to lower your risk immediately.

Overexposure to UV rays increases the risk of skin cancer. Wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30, cover up when outdoors, and avoid tanning beds.

Chronic stress and lack of sleep can weaken your immune system. Prioritize relaxation, meditation, or even microgreen gardening as a mindful habit to help reduce stress and restore balance.

Magnesium plays a role in DNA repair and may help reduce oxidative stress. Include magnesium-rich foods (Top 10 Superfoods) like spinach, avocados, almonds, and pumpkin seeds in your daily meals.

Wheatgrass juice or powder is a nutrient-dense way to support detoxification and antioxidant balance. Rich in chlorophyll, vitamins A, C, and E, and minerals, wheatgrass helps protect your cells and supports immune and liver health.

While it doesn’t cure or prevent cancer, its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may help reduce risk factors associated with chronic disease. You can enjoy wheatgrass as a shot, in smoothies, or as part of your daily green juice routine.
