Breast cancer is a type of cancer disease that can be controlled and treated through some medical methods, but care is also needed in life. A correct lifestyle is more conducive to the control and treatment of cancer, so breast cancer What should cancer patients pay attention to in their daily diet? What are the daily dietary taboos for breast cancer? Let’s learn more about the daily dietary needs for breast cancer.

1. What you need to know about the daily diet of breast cancer

Modern medical research shows that long-term consumption of too much animal fat, animal protein, and high-calorie foods can lead to overnutrition and obesity. Foods containing too much estrogen lead to elevated estrogen levels in the body, which is one of the causes of breast disease. As far as "eating" is concerned, scientific eating habits can help us stay away from breast diseases and even breast cancer.

(1) Avoid high-fat diet:

Cancer cells in the human body are initially in a "sleeping" state. Only when they are "stimulated" can they rapidly proliferate and become diseased. A high-fat diet is a "catalyst" for the onset of breast cancer. Long-term consumption of large amounts of fat can cause the body to produce large amounts of estrogen-like and prostaglandin-like substances. Excessive amounts of these substances can stimulate the occurrence and growth of tumors. Ingesting a large amount of fat can make the body fat and reduce immune function, giving cancer an opportunity. Therefore, eating less fried foods, cream, cheese and various desserts, controlling fat consumption, avoiding obesity, and improving the body's immune mechanism and disease resistance can effectively reduce the occurrence of breast cancer.

(2) Eat less animal estrogen-containing foods:

Breast tissue is the "target" organ of estrogen. If the estrogen level in the body is too high, the relationship between estrogen and progesterone Loss of balance can lead to breast cancer. Our daily food includes meat, eggs, milk, and fish. We also often visit various Western fast food restaurants to eat fried chicken and burgers. Nowadays, many foods have been detected to contain estrogen or estrogen-like ingredients. In other words, we unknowingly eat a lot of estrogen every day, including men's "breasts" starting to grow bigger. Perhaps one of the main reasons why nine out of ten people in our modern society believe they have breast disease.

(3) Eat more fruits and vegetables:

Fresh fruits and vegetables are the main source of vitamin C, and vitamin C is a strong antioxidant and has a certain protective effect on breast cells. The National Cancer Institute of Canada synthesized 12 research data and concluded that fresh vegetables and fruits have anti-breast cancer effects on women of different ages. Cabbage, cauliflower, cabbage and other flowering vegetables have the best anti-cancer effect, mainly because they contain indole chemical components, which can promote the metabolism and elimination of estrogen in the body. Among them, cabbage can accelerate estrogen metabolism, and sulforaphane in cauliflower (broccoli) can stimulate human cells to secrete anti-cancer enzymes. In addition, edible fungi, seaweed, garlic, tomatoes, oranges and other vegetables and fruits are helpful in the prevention of breast cancer.

(4) Increase soy products:

Beans contain estrogen, but they are phytoestrogens, which can inhibit the effects of "hormone-dependent carcinogens" on the breasts in the human body. Stimulate. Animal experiments show that animals that eat soybeans for a long time have a 65% decrease in the incidence of breast cancer. Research data from Shanghai found that women with a high intake of soy products have a 30% decrease in the incidence of breast cancer.

You no longer have to worry about drinking soy milk in the future.

(5) Eat more 'white meat' and less 'red meat':

A survey on breast cancer in women from 27 countries found that women in countries with a low incidence of breast cancer eat fish every day There are more fish-like products (white meat). Fish not only contains unsaturated fatty acids that inhibit tumor growth, but also rich in vitamin A and vitamin D, which are beneficial to curbing the occurrence of cancer. Red meat such as pigs, cattle, and sheep contains a lot of saturated fatty acids, which will produce a large amount of estrogen and prostaglandin-like substances after human metabolism, which increases the risk of breast cancer.

(6) Choice of cooking oil:

Regular consumption of monounsaturated fatty acids can reduce breast cancer. In the Mediterranean region where olive oil is the main edible oil, the incidence of female breast cancer is very low. Squalene in olive oil can effectively inhibit breast cancer. At the same time, peanut oil, corn oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, and flax oil can all reduce the incidence of breast cancer. , animal fats containing saturated fatty acids are not recommended for consumption.

(7) Stay away from health care products:

The estrogen in health care products is a double-edged sword. It can prolong a woman’s “puberty” and can also cause breast hyperplasia, and even Cancerous. According to foreign reports, after long-term use of chemical estrogens, 28% of people are at risk of developing breast cancer. The most common situation is breast hyperplasia (very common) or the formation of tumors in the breast (very common), or even cancer. Oral estrogen-containing drugs, breast enhancement lotions and certain cosmetics absorbed through the skin are closely related to the occurrence of breast diseases.

(8) Control drinking:

Drinking one or more drinks a day increases the risk of breast cancer by 10%. The more you drink, the higher the risk. Alcohol can stimulate the secretion of prolactin in the anterior pituitary gland, and prolactin is also related to the occurrence of breast cancer. Therefore, women, especially those around menopause, should quit drinking or drink less.

(9) Others:

There are also many foods that have certain anti-cancer effects. For example, sweet potatoes contain dehydroepiandrosterone, and jujube can inhibit the formation of cancer cells.

Coffee, cocoa, and chocolate contain xanthine, which can accelerate breast hyperplasia. There is no absolute conclusion as to whether breast hyperplasia is related to breast cancer.

In short, to prevent breast cancer, in addition to personal dietary preferences and habits, it is necessary to achieve a reasonable diet, balanced nutrition, and a diverse diet. While regulating your body through diet, don't forget to ensure adequate sleep, be calm when things happen, and be an optimistic, cheerful, and positive person. Maybe all diseases will be gone by then. At the same time, I would like to warn some health enthusiasts to open your recipes and check them carefully. Is it really scientific?
