This fennel slaw recipe is a delicious way to nourish your body.

The extraordinary health effects of fennel include relief from anemia, indigestion, constipation, colic, diarrhea, respiratory disorders, and menstrual disorders.

The dietary fiber in fennel limits cholesterol build-up, absorbs water in the digestive system, and helps eliminate carcinogens from the colon, possibly preventing colon cancer. Several other nutrients play supportive roles, namely manganese, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and copper.

Another superfood ingredient in this recipe, lemon extract has been shown in studies to successfully destroy malignant cells in a wide range of cancers, including breast cancer, colon cancer, and lung cancer. Additionally, the studies also show that lemon extract only affects malignant cells, leaving healthy cells unharmed.

Every ingredient in this incredibly simple recipe plays a key role in supporting your health and fighting cancer in the kitchen. Enjoy every bite.
