Besides iodine, what foods protect or support the body against radiation? While there are a lot of drawbacks to using iodine, there are plenty of foods that naturally protect our bodies from radiation.
Here’s 19 of the best:
1. Brown rice
2. Seaweed
3. Kelp
4. Miso
5. Pumpkin
6. Spirulina
7. Bee pollen
8. Wheat grass
9. Rosemary
10. Blue-green algae
11. Beets
12. Garlic
13. Ginger
14. Alfalfa sprouts
15. Broccoli
16. Onions
17. Olive oil
18. Leafy greens
19. Apples and other sources of pectin
These foods protect the body from radiation in different ways. For instance, brown rice is high in fiber and phosphorous, which help remove harmful toxins from the body. Sea vegetables contain a polysaccharide that binds to radioactive strontium to help eliminate it from the body, as well as being high in natural iodine. Pectin has also been shown to bind to radioactive residues, and Cysteine (in onions) binds with and deactivates radioactive isotopes. Alfalfa sprouts and greens are high in chlorophyll, which has been shown to help protect against radiation damage, as well.Keep in mind that you should aim for organic and be aware of the sources. For example, fresh sprouted alfalfa sprouts from your windowsill are preferable to those shipped from thousands of miles away (and possibly doused with those isotopes).
