Avoid these four foods to help prevent breast cancer

by , 09 December 2014

Breast cancer is one of the most feared diseases amongst women. And it affects as many as one in 35 women in South Africa.

But is there anything you can do to help prevent this dreaded disease?

It turns out if you avoid certain foods, you stand a better chance of preventing breast cancer.

Let's have a look…

Ban these four foods from your diet to stand a better chance of preventing breast cancer
 

There are foods that you should eat to help prevent breast cancer and then there are foods you need to avoid. Here are four foods you should strike from your diet today:

  1. Bad fats: Saturated fats and trans-fats found in junk food, meat, butter, cream and other full fat dairy products increases the risk for breast cancer. In a recent seven year study of more than 2,500 breast cancer survivors, those who followed a lower fat diet, consisting of 33g of fat per day, reduced their risk for the recurrence of breast cancer by 24%.

  2. Red meat: Grilling or braaing red meat creates carcinogenic compounds called heterocyclic amines (HCA). Red meat also contains amino acids that stimulate the production of insulin and increases oxidation. These are all risk factors for breast cancer. One study showed that women who ate well-done meat three times per week, increased their risk for breast cancer by over 400%.

  3. Alcohol: Drink alcohol in moderation. Women who drink more than three or four alcoholic drinks per week could increase their breast cancer risk. A recent study showed that women who drink two to five drinks per day are 41% at higher risk for breast cancer than their non-drinking counterparts.

  4. Grapefruit: This colourful bitter fruit could elevate your levels of oestrogen, which increases your risk for breast cancer. In a study published in the British Journal of Cancer, women who ate a quarter or more of grapefruit per day, increased their risk for breast cancer by 30%.

There you have the four type of food you should ban from your diet right now to help you stay breast cancer free.

******************************************

But it’s not only what you eat, it’s how much you eat that also affects your risk for breast cancer
 

While you’re cutting your risk for breast cancer by avoiding the foods above, also cut your risk by eating less.

Fat produces oestrogen – a major risk factor for breast cancer. The more fat you carry, the higher your risk for breast cancer.

Keep your weight down, exercise and eat well to help prevent breast cancer.
