5 lifestyle practices for better breast health

🥀 💐

Breastfeeding offers numerous benefits for babies, and it also reduces the risk of breast cancer in mothers. As for diet, while research continues to explore its impact on breast cancer risk, adopting healthy eating habits can potentially lower overall cancer risks:

🌹 🥀

1. Consume at least 2 ½ cups of fruits and vegetables daily.

2. Opt for 100 percent whole grain foods like whole grain breads, cereals, brown rice, millet, and quinoa.

3. Limit intake of red and processed meats, and choose chicken, fish, or beans more frequently.

4. Minimize consumption of "bad" fats such as saturated and trans fats found in red meat, fatty deli meats, full-fat dairy, and fried foods.

5. Include "good" fats like polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats from sources such as olive oil, canola oil, nuts, natural nut butters, avocado, and olives.

These dietary guidelines may contribute to reducing the risk of certain cancers, although the precise impact on breast cancer remains an area of ongoing research.
