Other than skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in American women. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1 in every 8 women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. American Cancer Society estimates that about 232,340 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed this year, and 39,620 will die from breast cancer this year.
It is so important to take healthy steps to prevent this deadly disease, and to spread the knowledge to your loved ones.
Eat more of the following:
Lemons: They contain compounds called limonins, which have been shown to fight many types of cancers. What makes limonins unique cancer-fighting agents is their long lasting nature.
Watermelon: They contain compounds called cucurbitacins. Studies have shown may inhibit breast cancer cell growth. Watermelons are also high in carotenoids that may help prevent cancer as well.
Tomatoes: They are an excellent source of melatonin, which is important for breast cancer prevention. Melatonin helps to reduce estrogen production in the body, which is one of the major factors for breast cancer development. Tomatoes also contain lycopene. According to the American Cancer Society, lycopene may be effective against many types of cancers, including breast cancer.
