Wheat Germ
Wheat germ contains zinc, a key mineral for the production of new skin cells. Wheat germ also
offers anti-inflammatory properties, and may help reduce acne breakouts and prevent eczema.
A half a cup of wheat germ daily is all you need. It can be sprinkled over steamed vegetables,
salads, or added to juicing, yogurt, or smoothies.
Saffron
This potent reddish spice contains two major
carotenoid phytonutrients, crocin, and crocetin,
two major antioxidants that have anti-tumor
effects.
Saffron is believed to protect from oxidative stress and free radical damage to cells in the body.
It also inhibits cancer growth factor signaling pathways, which may help stop cancer cell
proliferation.
