No need to guess anymore! Since obesity is one of the high risk factors for breast cancer, the secret of breast cancer prevention is a healthy overall diet. Good to know that this dreaded disease could still be prevented. Here are the basics of the breast cancer-free diet:
D- o not overcook meat, whether pan cooked or charcoal grilled. Instead, minimize the formation of cancer causing chemicals by marinating your meat and fish before cooking.
I - ncrease your calcium intake by eating dairy products that have low fat content. Not only do you prevent breast cancer but you also keep osteoporosis at bay.
E- at a lot of fresh veggies. Studies show that broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower stimulate production of the less potent form of estrogen while carrots, tomatoes, mangoes and cantaloupes supply your natural armor of beta carotene and lycopene -- both known cancer fighting substances.
T- ake your alcohol in moderation if you do not have a genetic predisposition to breast cancer. But if you do, take it out of your diet.
Remember, prevention is always better than a cure. Start the secret diet now!
