Article: Nineteen Foods to Prevent Breast Cancer!

- by Dr. John H Maher, ABAAHP

 

Recent research suggests that adding these foods to your diet could

significantly lower your risk of breast cancer.

 

#1 Yellow orange vegetables -- Eating foods high in beta- carotene has been

linked in many studies to lower rates of cancer. Tip: Baby carrots beta-carotene

is more absorbable then regular carrots and carrots beta-carotene is 500% more

absorbable.

 

#2 Cruciferous vegetables-- radish, broccoli, cauliflower, rutabaga, cabbage,

turnips, turnip greens, contain indole -3-carbinol, which lowers levels of a

type of estrogen that may promote cancer.(16-hydroxy- estradiol and

16-hydroxy-estrone).

Tip: Look for BroccoSprouts, a brand of broccoli sprouts with megalevels of SGS,

a compound that fights mammary tumors in mice.

 

#3 Warm a mug of 1%-2% of non gmo soymilk, almond milk, or organic hormone free

milk , add 1 tbs. ground almonds, pumpkin seed or walnuts or 1/4 tbs. natural

almond extract, and enjoy it at bedtime.

 

#4 Eat organic tomatoes, including cooked, dried, soups, juice and sauces to

fill up on a compound called lycopene. Diets high in lycopene are linked to

lower rates of breast and prostate cancer. Ensure that your tomatoes are

organically grown. Tomatoes are currently genetically engineered!

 

#5 Give up the red wine and eat grapes instead. More than one alcoholic beverage

a day increases your risk of breast cancer. But concord grapes have

cancer-fighting antioxidant power.

 

#6 Eat cold water fish (alaskan salmon, anchovies, sardines) and omega-3 rich

nuts and seeds (almonds, macademias, walnut, pumpkin).Research suggests that

those with higher tissue levels of omega-3s have lower rates of cancer.

 

#7 Individuals whose diets are higher in vitamin D have less cancer. To ensure

that you get the recommended level, add Vitamin D to a healthy diet, advise many

experts, especially in climates or lifestyles with out year round sun (20

minutes a day).

 

#8 Eat a small bowl of dark cherries. Cherries are a top source of a compound

that inhibits cancer in rats.

 

#9 Compounds called limonoids, found in the peel and white membrane of oranges,

inhibit cancers in test tubes. Eat whole fruit oranges and tangerines. Look for

herbal teas made w/ orange lemon peel. Use real orange and lemon oils in cooking

and health drinks.

 

#10 Avoid refined grains and choose organic whole grains instead. At least one

study has shown that women who ate the most refined grains had more breast

cancer. Another study showed that those who ate one serving a day of an organic

cereal high in rice or oat rice bran lowered their level of cancer -promoting

estrogen.

 

#11 Use organic butter over margarine. Studies suggest that a diet higher in

trans fats may increase the risk of cancer. Margarine, french fries, both

refined and fast-foods, and many processed and fried foods made with

hydrogenated fats are a top trans fat source.

 

#12 Drink green tea, hot or cold. Green tea is rich in EGCG, a compound that

inhibits cancer cells in mice. Caffienated brands have twice as much potency as

uncaffienated. And most bottled brands have little.

Mix with herbal teas and lemon peel for taste, or naturally sweeten with a

little unpasteurized Concord grape juice or super low glycemic *Agave* syrup.

 

#13 Instead of commercial dressings – usually made with a mixture of oils --

make your own easy dressing with half extra virgin olive oil, half balsamic

vinegar. Mediterraneans who eat lots of olive oil have low rates of cancer,

studies show.

 

#14 Garlic kills cancer cells in the test tube. But if you're going to cook

garlic, always peel and chop, then let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before you

heat.

 

#15 Women in one study who ate a serving of spinach at least twice a week had

half the rate of cancer than women who avoided it .

 

#16 Flavorful non-gmo veggie burgers and sausage won't form the same compounds

that meat does when it's being cooked and those compounds may explain why women

who eat lots of red meat and lots of very well done meat seem to get more breast

cancer.

 

#17 Why flaxseed? Because it has 75 times more lignin precursors, compounds that

inhibit tumors in animals.

 

# 18 Add non-gmo soy. Soy’s isoflavinoids work as weak estrogens, blocking the

more powerful estrogens from stimulating estrogen sensitive cancer cells. Ensure

that all Soy food and supplements are organic in nature. Soy is genetically

modified.

 

#19 Phyto herbs, like fennel, black cohosh are weak estrogens that compete with

stronger estrogens for estrogen receptor sites.

 

The 20th step is to just do it!
