We all know that the thought of having breast cancer makes us feel less sexy since our breasts are our greatest assets. So what can we do to avoid losing our breasts to cancer? Here are some foods to help us fight this deadly disease:

Berries

Berries are rich sources of antioxidants and phytochemicals, which play a critical role in lowering oxidation and cancer cell formation in the body.

Add some blueberries to your yogurt or add some strawberries to your breakfast cereal today!

Flaxseed

Flaxseed contains Omega-3, lignans and fibre, which protect against breast cancer as they regulate oestrogen and reduce the growth of cancerous tumours. 

Add flaxseed to your yogurt or smoothie, or even use flaxseed oil when preparing your baked treats such as cakes and cookies.

Pomegranate

Pomegranate is loaded with ellagitannins, which suppress the production of oestrogen, thus prevent the proliferation of breast cancer cells. 

Have a pomegranate a day to keep the breast cancer away!

Tomatoes

Tomatoes contain an abundance of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that not only gives tomatoes their red colour, but also protects against breast cancer by stopping cancer cell growth.

Indulge in a rich marinara pasta without guilt today, as lycopene is best absorbed when tomatoes are cooked!
