Guys, are you getting your greens? No, I'm not talking about the type of M&Ms that, in a hard-to-forget TV commercial from the mid 1980s, reportedly helps a batter take the ball down...town. Rather, I'm talking about the type of greens that are far less tasty than a piece of candy-coated chocolate, but vastly superior in terms of health. Greens, man. You know, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, etc.? You're right, I should have just mentioned Popeye from the start.
Nevertheless, a study out of the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York shows that as little of three daily servings of raw greens can slash your risk of bladder cancer by as much as 40 percent. What's more, you may be surprised to learn (I know I was) that bladder cancer is actually the fourth most common form of cancer in men.
The next time you're at the supermarket, don't forget to stop by the produce section and go green!!
