(NewsTarget) Flavonoids and proanthocyanidins are often found in fruits and vegetables, and they are powerful cancer prevention agents. Essentially, flavonoids are potent antioxidants and our body uses them to lower inflammation, reduce blood pressure and fight off free radicals, which cause disease and age us, sometimes from the inside out. New research from Italy also shows us that plant based flavonoids help keep cancer at bay.

In a 20 year study, it was found that participants with the highest intake of flavonoids and proanthocyanidins had a 44 and 40 percent lower risk of oral cancer and laryngeal cancer, respectively. The occurrence of colon cancer was also lowered by a third, and there were reductions in breast, kidney and ovarian cancers too.

At going rate, about forty percent of the population is expected to have a problem with cancer, and it seems that just by really boosting your flavonoid intake on a regular basis, you could reduce that risk to around ten percent. We still wouldn't be at the level of Egyptians a few thousand years ago, as their mummies show us that they only had cancer in .5 percent of the population. But still, it's an enormous step in the right direction.

There are thousands of different types of flavonoids and they're in abundance in many fruits, vegetables and nuts. Actually, they are often what give fruit and vegetables their color. Berries, particularly red and blue berries, and dark grapes are potent sources of flavonoids. So are garlic, onion and green or white tea.

The flavonoid quercetin is abundant in garlic, onions and apples and it's important because it's a building block for many other flavonoids. Actually, eating lots of apples and pears has recently been found to significantly reduce the risk of having a stoke, and the quercetin in apples might be the reason.

Quercetin is also known for its ability to jump start the immune system and it's becoming thought of as one of the most powerful antioxidants. Quercetin is also helpful for a wide number of problems, especially when it's eaten in quantity.

One way to really boost your flavonoid intake is to get into juicing because you can consume the nutrients from far more fruits and vegetables from juicing them than you'd ever be able to eat. It's also easy and tasty to add some raw, chopped garlic or onion to top many meals.

About the author

Kim Evans is a natural health writer and author of Cleaning Up! The Ultimate Body Cleanse. Cleaning Up! offers deep cleansing and using methods in this book, people have gotten rid of dozens of different types of health problems, as well as just losing excess weight, thinking more clearly, and feeling better.

Kim's next book chronicles events in her life that happen to match patterns in the Bible. She's also found three places in the Bible that tell us its about these patterns and even asking you to match them.
Here's a little from the upcoming book...
In Isaiah 22:20, it says, "And it must occur in that day that I will call my servant, namely Eliakim." But, because these prophecies are cryptic and they aren't meant to be understood until they are understood, it's only the last three letters.
A few lines later, it says, "From the land of Kittim it has been revealed to them."
Here, you just take out any three middle letters, and again, it's the name of the person bringing you this message, or the sacred secret of the prophecy. Actually, if you take those two passages, Kim is about the only name you can get from both of them.
In Numbers 1:1 – 1:18, it's talking about "the family" and mentions Pagiel. It also twice mentions February 1st, (Kim's birthday) and then says that the youngest is 20 years old. Kim's little sister Paige is currently 20 years old.
In Chronicles 1 11:20 it mentions the brother of Joab and then in the same sentence uses the word brandishing. Kim's middle name is Jo and her older sister's name is Brandi. There are other patterns to her sisters too but these sort of mention them by name.
Of course, it helps if you know that there is a magical spiritual reality available that comes deep cleansing and often major dietary upgrades. It's also why Jesus was teaching the same thing, if you find his teachings in the Essene Gospel of Peace. In this text, he even says things like, "You'll never see the father unless you clean your colon." But, this is paraphrased...
In the Bible Jesus says things more like, happy are those who wash their robes, as they can enter the tree of life. The tree of life is elsewhere explained as God's paradise. He also said, first clean the inside of the cup and then the outside will also be clean.
