Combine some or all of these ingredients for a nutrient-rich feast. Arugula, for instance, contains indoles that deactivate cancer-causing agents. Saponins in asparagus, lycopene in tomatoes and sulfurane in broccoli sprouts also fight cancer. Walnuts are packed with heart disease-fighting omega-3 fats and ellagic acid. And seaweed is a great source of hormone-supportive lignans.
