We all know that healthy eating and living effects our longevity. And you likely know that the same is true for cancer prevention. In fact, about 30-40% of cancer diagnoses could be prevented by modest diet and lifestyle changes.

In recognition of Cancer Prevention Month, I’m sharing some science behind how organic juices can be a beneficial component to keeping your body healthy.

There’s lots of medical research on the health benefits of raw juices, including the prevention of certain cancers. According to the American Cancer Society, eating at least 2 ½ cups of fruits and vegetables each day can help reduce your risk for a variety of cancers. This is because they are rich in anti-cancer nutrients like Vitamins A, B and C, as well as antioxidants. Antioxidants attack free radicals in your body to get rid of them. Free radicals can damage DNA in your cells, which over time can lead to disease.

Foods high in antioxidants include beets, carrots, green leafy veggies, berries, citrus, and apples. If you find it difficult to consume fruits and veggies at each meal, then juicing is your key!
