Ladies, with the Coronavirus (Co-Vid19) dominating the news, please let’s
not forget about the other health issues that may affect you today or
sometime in the future.
You know, breast cancer.

If it runs in your family or you’re getting up there in age, it’s still smart to
do all that you can to reduce your odds of ever contracting it.

And luckily, one of the best ways is to prevent it is by eating certain
food combos.
Food combos?

Yes, according to recent research, women who eat “healthy”
food combos can lower their odds of contracting it by a whopping
70%.

Listed below, are the food combos and how they’ll help you
remain breast-cancer free.

a) The Fruit Combo-
Ah, spring and summer and the endless supply of fruit they bring and
if you want to head off harmful tumors, eat red grapes and cantaloupe.
This combo lowers cancer risks by 25%.
Red grapes contain polyphenols, compounds that help shut down the
growth of abnormal cells inside the breasts.
And the cantaloupe?
It’s rich in beta-carotene, a plant compound that acts like estrogen,
clogging up receptors on breast tissue, so the actual irritating and
cell-damaging hormone can’t attach to it.

b) A Breakfast Combo-
If you’re a fan of oatmeal or cold cereal, you may want to have them
on special occasions and start eating more eggs and mushrooms.
Eggs are packed with choline, (a B vitamin) that stops abnormal
cell growth and mushrooms- contain beta-D-glucan, a phytonutrient
that speeds the breakdown of tumor-fueling estrogen.
An egg and mushroom combo lowers your odds by 20%.
2 last tips: you can eat eggs and mushrooms in the
afternoon or evening as well. And read our post about
eggs, the health benefits of leftover Easter eggs.

c) A Spanish Combo-
Although this dish is eaten by other cultures, it’s become
the food combo most associated with people in Latin countries.
The food combo? Rice and Beans.
And according to researchers, women from Spanish speaking
countries who migrate to other countries and adopt their dietary
habits also increase their risk of breast cancer.
Both foods are packed fiber, which binds to excess estrogen and helps
expel it from the body before it can reach potentially cancer-causing
amounts. Plus, beans contain compounds that help regulate the
division of cells. Eat this meal a few times a week and lower breast
cancer risks by 33%.
Another tip: make some rice, allow it to cool and refrigerate it.
Eat it the next day, doing this, makes the dish a “resistant carb”
meaning it’ll be less “starchy” and the less starch you take in,
the smaller your waistline will be.

d) A Salad Combo-
If you eat salad on a regular basis, then continue to eat it.
Why? Lettuce and tomatoes inactivate pre-cancer cells.
Iceberg lettuce contains Vitamin-K, a nutrient that inactivates
precancerous cells. And the tomatoes: they contain lycopene,
an antioxidant that mops up free radicals before they can
damage breast tissue. Eat a salad a few times a week
and lower your odds by 15%.
One more tip:
Make sure to keep the salad as healthy as possible,
avoid the salty meat, (salami, ham) and fatty cheeses.
Eating this type of salad, will do the opposite…raise your
odds of contracting breast cancer.

e) The Spices of Life-
Do you enjoy black pepper?
Well, if you do, continue to enjoy it, but leave out
the salt and use turmeric instead.
In some of our past posts, we’ve written about the
incredible benefits you get by adding turmeric
to soups, stews, salads, egg dishes, etc. and now,
enjoying a combo of pepper and turmeric- can stop
the growth of abnormal breast tissue without
interfering with normal tissue.
Plus, black pepper helps you absorb more of the
healing compounds in turmeric.

f) Here Comes The Sun-
Consider the Sun, a free, healthy, life enhancing form of medicine.
And if you want your mammograms to continue to show
no tumors or no cancer in your breasts, get outdoors and take
advantage of this “free medicine.”
The Sun provides you with vitamin D, and it, (D) produces cancer-fighting
calcitriol inside breast tissue, which in turn, lowers cancer risk by 35%.
An Important tip: Not able to get outdoors?
Ask your doctor or health-care provider to recommend a (a top quality)
supplement.
