7. Apples
Yes, an apple a day really does keep the doctor away! They carry polyphenols which are plant-based compounds that have amazing anticancer properties. Eating apples may also prevent inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and infections.
Some studies have shown that one type of antioxidant found in apples, called procyanidins, triggered a series of cell signals that resulted in cancer cell death. Fill your pantry with apples—and remember to wash them properly in warm water to remove wax coatings!
