Yoghurt

Recent studies have shown that yoghurt increases levels of anti-cancer compounds in animals. Look for yoghurts with live, active cultures in order to reap the cancer-fighting benefits. Remember to buy brands labeled "contains live cultures" rather than "made with live cultures."

Plus, if you think yogurt is just for breakfast, think again. This creamy staple is the base for everything from delicious Mediterranean-inspired dips to indulgent (and surprisingly healthy) desserts.

Blueberries

These juicy little orbs are packed with powerful antioxidants and have been thought to lower the risk of breast cancer. Plus, more recently, a study out of the City of Hope cancer center suggested that the tiny fruits may help to slow the growth of aggressive breast cancer.

Blueberries not in season? Don't worry: the frozen fruits are pleasantly economically and contain the same potent nutrients as their fresh counterparts.
