What is breast cancer?

Breast cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the cells of the breast, usually in the milk ducts or lobules. Cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow out of control, forming a tumor.

Common symptoms of breast cancer include a palpable lump, a change in the size or shape of the breast, dimpling of the skin, nipple discharge, or pain. Breast cancer can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated.

Some foods help prevent breast cancer

Green leafy vegetables: Green leafy vegetables are one of the best foods to prevent breast cancer. Spinach, kale, mustard greens and other green leafy vegetables are rich in anti-cancer properties. These vegetables are rich in vitamin K, beta-carotene, carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin and other phytonutrients that help protect cells. A study published in the American Journal of Cancer Research found that regular intake of antioxidants from green leafy vegetables helps lower the risk of breast cancer.

Cruciferous vegetables: Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower are some of the best foods to eat to prevent breast cancer. They contain compounds such as glucosinolates, which help neutralize harmful toxins and have anti-cancer properties. Research published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that women who consumed more cruciferous vegetables had a lower risk of breast cancer.

Allium vegetables: Allium vegetables such as garlic, onions, and leeks have the ability to prevent breast cancer. They contain many anti-cancer properties, such as organosulfur compounds, flavonoid antioxidants, and vitamin C.

Citrus fruits: Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are high in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help boost the immune system and fight free radicals linked to cell damage and cancer. A study published in the Journal of Breast Cancer involving 8,393 people found that consuming more citrus fruits reduced the risk of breast cancer by 10%.

Berries: Berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins and vitamin C, which help reduce inflammation and protect healthy cells. A study published in the Journal of Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, involving 75,929 women, found that consuming more berries, especially blueberries, was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in women.
