Tomatoes
This fruit/vegetable is the epitome of a cancer-fighting superfood. Not only do tomatoes contain lycopene, the antioxidant phytochemical that also helps prevent heart disease, but they're a good source of vitamins A, C, and E -- all enemies of cancer-friendly free radicals.

Pile tomatoes, spinach, and peppers on top of ready-made pizza dough and top with tomato sauce and part-skim mozzarella. Pop some cherry tomatoes into your romaine lettuce salad. Stuff your sandwiches with sliced tomatoes, lettuce, and alfalfa sprouts or shredded broccoli. However you do it, find a way to add tomatoes to your daily diet.

Recommended Serving Size:
1 cup sliced tomatoes, about 32 calories
1 cup fresh spinach, about 7 calories
1/2 cup sliced green peppers, about 18 calories
1/4 cup part-skim mozzarella, about 80 calories
1 cup cherry tomatoes, about 27 calories
1 cup alfalfa sprouts, about 10 calories
1 cup broccoli slaw, about 30 calories

Watermelon
Cut a watermelon into bite-sized pieces for a huge dose of antioxidants, about 80 percent of your daily vitamin C, and 30 percent of your vitamin A, or beta carotene. Watermelon also contains lycopene, the famous cancer-fighting substance found in tomatoes. Plus, recent studies show that eating more fruits and vegetables leads to a lower risk of lung, oral, esophageal, and colon cancer.

Recommended Serving Size:
2 cups of watermelon, about 80 calories

Cabbage and Carrots
Coleslaw Cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable, which help reduce the risk of colon and rectal cancer. Plus cabbage is rich in fiber and has almost 50 percent of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin C, making it a well-rounded super-food with cancer-fighting power.

Carrots are a wonderful source of fiber and beta carotene, and they have a whopping 308 percent of the RDA for vitamin A. Combine shredded cabbage and carrots with your favorite low-fat mayonnaise and some red wine vinegar for a delicious side to any meal.

Recommended Serving Size:
1 cup shredded cabbage, about 21 calories
1 cup grated carrots, about 45 calories
1 Tbs. vinegar, about 3 calories
1 Tbs. reduced fat mayonnaise, about 48 calories

Pasta, Bean & Broccoli Salad
Did you know that one-quarter cup of kidney beans has the same amount of fiber and protein as two ounces of red meat? Whole wheat pasta is also a good source of fiber, and broccoli will tip the daily scales for your daily vitamin A and C needs. Toss them all together with your favorite low-fat Italian dressing for a simple dinner of cancer-fighting proportions.

Recommended Serving Size:
3/4 cup whole wheat pasta, about 162 calories
1/4 cup drained kidney beans, about 51 calories
2/3 cup of broccoli, about 33 calories
1 tablespoon of reduced calorie Italian salad dressing, about 56 calories

Finger Snacks: Peppers, Dried Apricots, Sunflower Seeds
If cigarettes are cancer sticks, then chopped peppers are anticancer sticks. They're packed with all the nutrients you need to reduce your cancer risk: lycopene, beta-carotene, and vitamin C.

Dried apricots are rich in beta-carotene, and they're perfect for storing in your desk at work as an alternative to the vending machine's fatty snacks. If you're craving a little salt, try a handful of sunflower seeds, which contain selenium, an infamous cancer nemesis.

Recommended Serving Size:
1 cup red peppers, about 24 calories
1/4 cup dried apricots, about 79 calories
1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds, about 93 calories

Blueberries and Strawberries
Both blueberries and strawberries are rich in vitamin C and fiber. Plus they just taste darn good. Add some to your whole grain cereal or oatmeal in the morning. Mix some into your cup of plain yogurt, or top off your ice cream with a handful.

Recommended Serving Size:
1 cup blueberries, about 80 calories (all berries give you lots of fiber and vitamin C)
1 cup strawberries, about 46 calories
