Reduce cancer risk: Researchers recommend a certain food. People who eat five portions of carrots per week have a 20 percent reduced risk.

Even eating just one portion reduces the chance of developing cancer by four percent. The study also notes that consuming Brussels sprouts may help fight cancer and chronic diseases such as diabetes. The prerequisite here is that the vegetables are steamed and not fried or boiled, otherwise “health-promoting properties” such as glucosinolates are lost.
