Quick Glance: Nutrition for Strong Breasts
- Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and cabbage are rich in vitamins A and C, acting as antioxidants that can reduce the risk of breast cancer. It is recommended to sauté or blanch these vegetables to retain the maximum nutrients. Additionally, antioxidants should be obtained from food rather than supplements.
- Flax seeds have more lignans than any other food and are high in omega-3 fatty acids. These plant compounds contain fiber and the antioxidant phytoestrogen, which may prevent the formation of estrogen-stimulated breast cancer. It is advised to incorporate flax seeds (not flaxseed oil) into yogurt, oatmeal, salads, soups, smoothies, and muffins.
- Turmeric has been used for centuries to combat inflammation and early research suggests it may have two significant benefits in fighting breast cancer. Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, could potentially halt breast cancer spread and reduce chemotherapy damage. However, further research is necessary to validate these findings in human subjects.
- Foods such as tomatoes, carrots, and sweet potatoes contain carotenoids, which are converted into vitamin A and may lower the risk of certain types of breast cancer. However, more research is required to confirm this potential connection.

- So far, 113 measles cases have been confirmed since 2020, compared to 58 cases detected last year. The majority of measles patients since 2020 have not been vaccinated or had an unknown vaccination status.
- Experts express concerns that the rise in measles cases in the U.S. may signal a troubling trend. The CDC emphasizes the need to increase routine MMR vaccination coverage to maintain elimination.
