Join me in an anti‑cancer lifestyle: learn global vs U.S. cancer stats, my favorite broccoli sprout ritual, and easy at‑home sprouting steps. This is one of many posts I have been inspired to make about living a cancer prevention lifestyle rather than a reactionary lifestyle.
Cancer touches so many lives and frankly I am OVER IT!!!
My 2 best friends have died from cancer; both opting for chemical treatments that broke them and ultimately led to them now being my heavenly angels. Watching this is infuriating but like every other struggle that I have been faced head on with in life i choose to transmute the pain into POWER & PURPOSE!
In 2022, there were about 20 million new cancer diagnoses worldwide, with nearly 9.7 million deaths. In the U.S. alone, more than 1.85 million new cases were recorded. (Sources: Global Cancer Facts, CDC) With first world, medically advanced America’s high incidence, I choose daily habits that lean me away from cancer risk. I refuse to be a victim of the corrupt and backwards system; I hope I can inspire you to do the same. I don’t live in fear but instead I have chosen to live with deep love and intention. One simple habit I return to over and over: growing broccoli sprouts at home and making them the foundation of my salads.
Why Broccoli Sprouts Are a Game Changer
Broccoli sprouts pack a concentrated dose of glucoraphanin, which your body converts to sulforaphane which a compound studied for its ability to activate detoxification enzymes, reduce oxidative stress, and support healthy cellular function. Studies find sprouts may contain 10 to 100 times more glucoraphanin than mature broccoli heads.
Here are 10 benefits of eating broccoli sprouts:
• High precursor to sulforaphane
• Supports detoxification pathways
• Helps reduce oxidative stress
• Promotes balanced inflammation
• May inhibit abnormal cell growth
• Rich in dietary fiber
• Supplies vitamins C, A, K, and minerals
• Encourages healthy gut flora
• Supports cardiovascular health
• Adds vibrant flavor and texture
Enhancing Detox with CellCore BioToxin Binder
Another tool I personally love adding alongside my broccoli sprout routine is CellCore’s BioToxin Binder. Broccoli sprouts naturally help the body activate detox pathways through sulforaphane, and when combined with a gentle binder like CellCore’s, it supports the safe removal of toxins released during this process. I take mine with plenty of water, usually a little while after eating my sprouts, to help bind and clear unwanted biotoxins from the gut. It’s a simple, synergistic step that enhances my daily detox and keeps my energy, skin, and digestion clear and vibrant.
How I Grow Broccoli Sprouts on My Countertop
This is the method I use. Let me tell you homie it’s so simple your dog could do it! I love how this method keeps me connected to my food by growing it myself!
What I Use:
• Clean filtered water
Step‑by‑Step Instructions
• Rinse 1–2 tablespoons of seeds in cool water.
• Soak overnight (8–12 hours) in the jar, fully submerged.
• Next morning, drain thoroughly.
• Place the jar at an angle (lid side down) so excess water drains and air circulates.
• Twice daily, rinse, swirl gently, and drain fully.
• By day 3, sprouts will appear. Continue rinsing twice a day.
• By day 4–6, sprouts should be ½ to 1 inch long with tiny green leaves.
• Final rinse, drain well, then use or refrigerate (in a sealed container) for up to a few days.
How I Use My Sprouts Daily
Once I harvest, I layer them SUPER generously on top of my salad greens and often even use a grip load as my whole entire salad base! Then I build a salad: colorful veggies, berries or citrus, seeds, lean protein, and a homemade dressing. I rotate in other anti‑cancer habits too; cruciferous vegetables, turmeric, berries, movement, stress management, sleep, grounding, ozone treatments, clean foods and things I will go into further in the series of blogs.
Anti-Cancer Final Food For Thoughts
Please never underestimate the power of daily consistency. Growing broccoli sprouts isn’t glamorous or difficult yet it is so powerful as it truly is a ritual of hope, care, and intention. It reminds me I have agency in my body’s environment, and I am body to teach others this easy and fun health regiment.
