Breast cancer prevention and nutrition

Fruits and veggies. At least five cups per day will increase antioxidant consumption, which has been shown to decrease general cancer risk. Vividly colored fruits and vegetables like red peppers, purple cabbage, and blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants. High-fiber cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, kale, cauliflower, and cabbage contain compounds called glucosinolates that are being studied for their potentially anticancerous properties. High-protein dairy products. By getting enough protein, you will feel fuller for a longer period of time, which will help you resist temptation to eat junk foods. Low fat yogurt and cottage cheese are great sources. Omega-3 fatty acids. Contained in olive oil, nuts, and avocados, omega-3 fatty acids (when consumed in moderation) also help you feel full and satisfied without promoting weight gain.
