5 foods for breast cancer prevention..

Eating the right food can do wonders for prevention of breast cancer. While one can’t change their family history, one can definitely change their eating habits.

With breast cancer being declared the deadliest type of cancer, it is important to get screened regularly.

Here are 5 foods that can help prevent cancer:



Garlic:  
 

It is best to add garlic to everything you eat. It is rich source of cancer fighting compound - allium which slows the growth of tumour.

Fish:

Salmon, trout and sardines have omega-3 oils that not only prevent cancer but also boost immunity.

Leafy vegetables:

Filled with folate and vitamin B. Leafy vegetables like spinach strengthen the body and folate fights cancer.

Virgin olive oil:

Olive oil is filled with antioxidants and phytonutrients that inhibit tumour growth. It is better than other oils as it has higher monounsaturated fat content as compared to other oils.

Pulses and rice:

Fibres in pulses help release the oestrogen from the body. Oestrogens trigger cell division in breast tissue. Less oestrogen means a cancer free life.
