Anti-Cancer Power Bowl with Turmeric Tahini Dressing

This vibrant bowl is more than a meal—it’s a prevention ritual packed with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich ingredients known to combat cellular stress and support immune function. Featuring eight ingredients studied for cancer-preventive effects—broccoli, garlic, turmeric, flaxseed, spinach, tomato, citrus (lemon), and olive oil—the recipe blends nutrition with flavor in a way that’s culturally resonant and therapeutic.

Each bite activates protective pathways: sulforaphane from broccoli, allicin from garlic, lycopene from tomatoes, curcumin from turmeric, and omega-3s from flaxseed. Drizzled with a creamy tahini-lemon dressing infused with turmeric and garlic, the bowl becomes both comforting and medicinal—a signature of your healing aesthetic.
