Some studies have suggested that enjoying cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower may prevent bladder cancer. This is because cruciferous vegetables contain glucosinates that transform into isothiocyanites during food preparation and possibly alter the metabolism of carcinogens, which may protect against bladder cancer.
Experiencing digestive upset? If you received radiation therapy to your pelvis, you may be experiencing diarrhea, bloating or gas. Try eliminating fibre-rich cruciferous vegetables until your side effects improve.
Enjoy omega-3 rich fish such as salmon, trout, mackerel, herring or cod at least twice a week. Why? Because omega-3 fatty acids have a strong anti-inflammatory effect and support immune function. To achieve this immune boosting effect, make sure to combine your omega-3 rich fish with antioxidants. These can include, but are not limited to, a vitamin C rich citrus glaze, selenium packed Brazil nuts, or a high flavonoid side salad.
