Lilies are rich in antioxidants.
According to Chinese medicine, lilies contain a lot of protein and iron, which have the functions of consolidating viscera, diuresis, hemostasis, detumescence, clearing heat and softening liver. Lily is also a natural high-fiber food, which can increase satiety and help reduce the absorption of food calories. Moreover, its fiber is water-absorbent, which can increase the volume of feces, stimulate intestinal peristalsis, reduce the time for carcinogens to stay in the body, and then prevent cancer.
Moreover, lily contains a variety of antioxidants such as beta carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E, which can effectively eliminate free radicals, reduce their damage to cells, inhibit the formation of carcinogens, and at the same time assist in regulating female hormones and reduce the risk of breast cancer in women.
Lily is also rich in polysaccharides, which can promote the proliferation of natural killer cells in vivo, inhibit cancer cells in vivo, and have the functions of enhancing immunity and anti-tumor cell proliferation. It should be noted that the effect of lily on cancer cells is only limited to inhibiting proliferation, and the effect of completely killing tumor cells has not been seen, so regular treatment is still the most important thing in cancer diet.

Dr. Zhou pointed out that the growing period of day lily is only a few months every year. In order to prolong the shelf life and maintain the color, most day lilies on the market are dried, soaked in sodium sulfite solution first, then fumigated with sulfur or enhanced with sulfur dioxide. If the color of dried lily is too bright, or the smell is pungent, the residue of sulfur dioxide may be high, and the anticancer and antioxidant effects of lily have been greatly destroyed. It is recommended not to buy it to avoid cancer and harm.
