Watercress has a remarkable cancer-fighting properties, a report in a study recently published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Research conducted by scientists at the University of Ulster, found that watercress can actually help to significantly reduce DNA damage to red blood cells, which is a major trigger in the development of cancer.
The study involved 30 men and women who were in good health, as well as those who smoked. During the study, over a period of 8 weeks, participants ate 85 grams of Watercress or the size of a cereal bowl, daily for 8 whole weeks.
At the end of the 8-week period, the effects of watercress on the health of the participants were examined. Surprisingly enough, it was found that these vegetables had a large positive impact on the health of smokers.
