Ruby Pearls Hidden in White Jade

Nutritional Value

Chicken breast and salmon are both excellent sources of protein. Every 100 grams of raw, skinless, and boneless chicken breast can provide 23 grams of protein, while the same amount of raw salmon can provide 20 grams. Protein plays a crucial role in tissue repair, immune system support, and maintaining muscle mass. Salmon, being an oily fish, also contains omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids possess anti-inflammatory properties and could help restrain the progression of cancer. 

Broccoli and tomatoes are both rich in antioxidants, with broccoli containing sulforaphane and tomatoes containing lycopene. These substances may help in slowing cancer cell growth. In addition, these ingredients also contain dietary fiber, which promotes gut health by improving bowel movement, reducing the contact between harmful substances and the cells in the gut, and enhancing the production of short chain fatty acids which reduce the generation of carcinogenic substance. These effects help in preventing colorectal cancer. Consuming more dietary fiber is also related to a reduced risk of gastric, breast, endometrial cancer etc.
