Tip # 1:
Eat fresh, organically grown fruits and vegetables- especially cruciferous vegetables every day.
These plants, particularly those in the cruciferous family (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale) are filled with a
variety of nutrients, vitamins, and plant chemicals that act as powerful medicines against breast cancer.
Tip # 2:
Eat organic whole grains every day.
Whole grains are rich in cancerfighting antioxidants, vitamins, trace minerals, fiber, and lignans.
Tip # 3:
Avoid all health-destroying fats. Consume health-promoting fats every day.
Saturated animal fats, trans fats, partially hydrogenated fats, and hydrogenated fats fuel breast cancer, whereas healthy fats- especially omega-3 fatty acids found in flaxseeds- offer protection.
Tip #4:
Eat 2-3 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds every day.
Flaxseeds are the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids, are high fiber, and contain one hundred more cancer-fighting lignans than any other known edible plant.
Tip #5:
Eat soy-based whole-food products several times a week.
Women who eat the most whole soy foods, such as tofu, tempeh, and miso have a 30 to 50 percent lower risk of
breast cancer.
