5. Nuts
fight breast cancer
Preliminary research suggests that snacking on two ounces (60 g) of nuts per day may slow the development of breast cancer tumors. Researchers at the Marshall University School of Medicine in Western Virgine hypothesize that antioxidants, omega-3s, and phytosterols in nuts may help slow the growth of cancer cells.
Try this: Add nuts to your brownies and muffin recipes. Or grill them in a pan and add them to salads, pizza, and cooked cereals like quinoa.
6. Blueberries
Berry fruits in a bowl blueberries, raspberries. Sweet summer fruits.
Research suggests that pterostilbene, a phytonutrient in blueberries, can stop the growth of cancer tumors by causing them to self-destruct. This process is also called apoptosis. Frozen wild blueberries are equally antioxidant and nutrient-rich.
Try this: Add blueberries to smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, and pancake batter.
7. Spinach
fight breast cancer
Pre-menopausal women who consume a high amount of folate (spinach is a good source) have a 40% lower risk of breast cancer, according to a study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology in 2011. Vitamin B is necessary for proper cell division and blocks DNA changes that can lead to breast cancer.
Try this: Use spinach to spice up stir-fries, quiches, pasta dishes, scrambled eggs, and smoothies.
8. Eggs
fight breast cancer
Choline, an essential nutrient that is very present in eggs, reduces the risk of breast cancer by 24%, according to an American study of more than 3,000 women. This essential nutrient found in the yolk of the egg is necessary for proper cell function. The U.S. Institute of Medicine states that women should consume 425 milligrams per day; a large egg contains 126 milligrams. Other sources of choline include fish, poultry, pork, beef, broccoli, and wheat germ.
Try this: Keep hard-boiled eggs in the refrigerator at the workplace or at home and use them as an afternoon snack.
