Truth is men love female breasts. From child to adult, they never leave it alone, they keep sucking and fondling...Personal studies have found that male babies love sucking breast 5xs more than female babies...and they even suck breast longer (chai, make una nor abuse me o, na my own observation). Some male babies suck breasts till 3years. HABA!!!!
Anyway, being learning a whole lot about breast cancer since I had a couple of people (somehow) close to me contact it. Some have died, while some are receiving treatment. Truth is, information about preventing this is kinda on the low. I have done some research and will be dropping some tips on foods that can reduce the risk of having breast cancer...
A) CARROTS: Mothers know best, especially when they tell us to eat our veggies. According to a recent study, a natural substance in raw carrots named “falcarinol” can reduce the risk of cancer.
Experts believe that falcarinol slows the growth of cancer cells,
making cancer less likely to invade. This unique substance is
inactivated by heat or cooking, so it is critical to eat raw carrots for
falcarinol’s benefits. My favorite way to eat carrots is chilled,
peeled, and lightly salted with sea salt. Pre-washed baby carrots in
bags and carrot juice are easy ways to get enough. I eat one carrot
every day (or a handful of baby carrots). In addition to falcarinol,
carrots are naturally rich in healthy plant pigments called
“carotenoids.” Orange “beta-carotene” is a carotenoid that gives
carrots their beautiful orange hue. Numerous studies have suggested that
beta-carotene might protect against cancer, including breast cancer.
Researchers at Harvard found that younger women who ate two or more servings of carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables a day (including oranges, broccoli, carrots, romaine lettuce, and spinach) had a 17% lower risk of breast cancer than women who ate fewer than four servings a week. Researchers believe that carotenoids could reduce the negative effects of estrogen on the body early in life.
Another study found that eating carotenoids was associated with lower death rates in breast cancer survivors. Remarkably, one study found that the risk of breast cancer was 221% less for women who consumed the highest levels of beta-carotene compared to women who ate the lowest levels. Cooking carrots won’t destroy beta-carotene. Cooked carrots topped with a cholesterol reducing spread and sprinkled with sea salt (or herbs) is hard to beat. I don’t recommend supplements containing super amounts of beta-carotene. Food sources are best. Your skin will also look better if you eat carrots. Beta-carotene gives your skin a nice glow, and also protects your vision. Researchers are actively studying the full benefits of carrots, but there is no reason to wait. Your health today is too important...You see, it pays to chew like a RABBIT!
B) GREEN TEA: Green tea is rich in potent antioxidants called “polyphenols” that protect your DNA from damage and shortening, reduce inflammation, reduce estrogen, and reduce breast tissue density. EGCG, the primary antioxidant in green tea, has been shown to limit the growth of breast cancer cells by inhibiting the cancer’s blood supply. Green tea is much more potent than regular black tea. The recommended amount to consume is 2 to 4 cups per day. Personally, I take a concentrated green tea dietary supplement supplying about 95 milligrams of polyphenols (the amount found in about 4 cups of green tea) daily because it makes it easy to get enough.
Green
tea is available in great new flavors like green tea with orange and
green tea with pineapple. If you are sensitive to caffeine,
decaffeinated green tea and green tea supplements are available. “Tea
time” is a perfect time each day to relax, reduce stress, and calm your
mind. Of course, more research is needed to elucidate green tea’s full
effects. Green tea may also boost your metabolism for weight loss and
reduce wrinkles...Ladies, please use some of your Aso-ebi budget to invest in Green Tea. Your health is very important o!
c) APPLES: Six medical studies, published in the past year by Cornell researchers, report that apples prevent breast cancer by multiple mechanisms. Specifically, the studies show that natural substances found in apples decrease the number of tumors, size of tumors, and tumor growth rates in animals. The more apple extract the animals were fed, the greater the reduction in cancer. The lead Cornell researcher states, “We not only observed that the treated animals had fewer tumors, but the tumors were smaller, less malignant [aggressive] and grew more slowly.”
Remarkably, the researchers found that the most deadly
“adenocarcinoma” form of breast cancer was found in 71% of animals not
fed the apple extract, but in only 23% of the animals fed the highest
dose of the apple extract.
The same researchers found new substances in apple skins that also have anti-cancer activities. In order to get enough apple nutrients for the full benefits, I recommend taking an apple extract supplement daily, plus eating 1 whole apple at least a few times weekly. Baked or sautéed apples with olive oil and cinnamon are absolutely amazing...Babes, rather than giving the Apple to your man (Eve strategy) why not begin to consume loads of it. Also rather than asking your man to buy you an Apple Mac or iPhone5
, why not ask him to buy you a basket of apples? Save yourselves the risk!!!
d) FIBER: Getting more fiber from fiber supplements (powders and pills), cereals, fruits, veggies (including beans), nuts, and whole grains may not only reduce your risk of breast cancer, but also stop breast cancer progression. Scientists believe fiber may lower breast cancer risk in several important ways. Some studies have found that fiber reduces the amount of cancer-causing hormones, including reducing estrogen levels in premenopausal women, menopausal women, and breast cancer survivors.
A recent medical study found that high fiber intakes were associated
with a 42% lower risk of postmenopausal breast cancer when comparing
women with the highest amount of fiber consumption to women with the
lowest amount. Getting enough is very important, so aim for 30 or more
grams of soluble fiber every day. You have to plan ahead to eat this
amount. I blend a fiber powder into my daily protein shake. Raspberries,
pears and apples are three of the best fiber-rich fruits. Oatmeal,
corn, beans, nuts, and popcorn are tasty ways to get more. Chewable
fiber pills are easy. Drink plenty of fluids when eating fiber. Because a
high-fiber diet also helps you lose weight, it is wise to start adding
fiber to your anti‐breast cancer regimen now...Grab any foods that contain loads of it and munch on...e dey pay big time!
e) OMEGA-3: Omega-3 fatty acids are found in oil-rich fish like salmon, albacore tuna, mackerel, lake trout, herring, and sardines. The fish fats supply healthy omega‐3 “fatty acids,” particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Fish is an excellent source of protein and Vitamin D3 without the harmful saturated fat found in many other meat products. A recent study examining breast cancer risk and omega-3 intake found a substantial risk reduction with increasing omega‐3 and oil-rich fish consumption in both premenopausal and menopausal women.
Women who consumed more fish had lower rates of breast cancer. Women
with the greatest EPA, DHA, and total omega‐3 fatty acids in their red
blood cell membranes from fish had a 73%, 94%, and 89% lower risk of
breast cancer, respectively. Harvard researchers, along with the
government’s Centers for Disease Control (CDC), estimate that 96,000
total deaths per year are due to omega-3 deficiency. Medical
researchers propose several mechanisms for the breast-protective
effects of omega‐3’s including the ability to stop estrogen-driven
cancer growth, immune system function (which can help kill and control
cancer cells), and reduced inflammation.
I recommend a combined approach of food plus supplements. In addition to eating fish a few times per week, I take a concentrated omega-3 supplement daily with 800 milligrams of EPA and DHA to make sure I’m getting enough. The pill I take is “enteric-coated” so there is no fishy aftertaste. Enteric‐coated pills breakdown after they leave your stomach. Much more research is underway on omega‐3’s and cancer, but since omega‐3’s have many proven heart, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging skin benefits, I recommend starting now...and yes you must. Stop the Suya, Fuuku, Roundabout, Egufe, Nkwobi and Kpomo today.
We need to stop the prevalence of Breast cancer. Constant breast check (by a specialized doctor) is key. Also information is very important. We need to support those that need funds to go for treatment and also help REDUCE THE RISK OF BREAST CANCER TODAY!
