As a woman, reading about an article related to a woman’s body as well as psychological aspect, interest me a lot. As I’ve read about this new article that I’me going to share, it makes me feel responsible to share this to all my readers. It’s something about what we can eat to cut cancer risk
Sometimes, some woman or mom rarely has time to cook because they’re working. Figuring out on what to have for dinner is hard enough without having to factor in the latest news about food and cancer.
What to Eat
Fish: Fatty fish like salmon, sardines, and herring are high in omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat that is believed to have anticancer properties. Aim for two to three servings a week.
Cruciferous vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage are powerful cancer fighters and appear to contain chemicals that turn on your body’s natural detox enzymes. Eat them raw or slightly steamed (cooking breaks down the protective chemicals). Shoot for five servings a week.
Berries: The more colorful, the better! These fruits are rich in antioxidants, which protect cells from damage, and strawberries and raspberries contain ellagaic acid, which has been shown to protect against breast cancer in lab studies. Sneak these in wherever you can…toss some in your smoothie or even have some with dessert.
Whole grains: Lowfat sources of fiber, such as quinoa, unbuttered popcorn and cereals like All-Bran and Fiber One, might regulate your levels of estrogen and insulin, two hormones that both have been linked to breast cancer. Aim for 25 grams per day.
What to Watch
Red meat: You do not have to forgo the occasional burger (thank goodness!), but eating more than 1.5 servings of red meat per day can almost double the chances of developing breast cancer. Limit your intake to three servings of lean cuts (such as filet mignon, flank steak or sirloin) a week or fewer.
Alcohol: As few as two drinks a day may increase breast cancer risk by 20 percent, possibly by raising estrogen levels. There is nothing wrong with having some wine with dinner, but it’s safest to average no more than one drink a day. (Savor it! I mix soda water in my white wine to make one glass last through dinner.)

What to Watch
Red meat: You do not have to forgo the occasional burger (thank goodness!), but eating more than 1.5 servings of red meat per day can nearly double the chances of developing breast cancer. Limit your intake to three servings of lean cuts (such as filet mignon, flank steak or sirloin) a week or fewer.
Alcohol: As few as two drinks a day might increase breast cancer risk by 20 percent, possibly by raising estrogen levels.

BARCELONA, Spain — All types of alcohol — wine, beer and liquor — add equally to the danger of women developing breast cancer, U.S. researchers said Thursday.
Previous studies have shown a link between alcohol consumption and breast cancer, but there have been conflicting messages about whether some kinds of alcohol were more dangerous than others.
The researchers, led by Dr. Arthur Klatsky of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in Oakland, Calif., revealed their findings at a conference in Barcelona.
Researchers analyzed the drinking habits of 70,033 women of various races from 1978 to 1985. By 2004, 2,829 had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Klatsky and his colleagues looked at which types of alcohol the women drank and their total alcohol intake. They compared it with that of women who had less than one drink a day.
They found no difference in the risk of developing breast cancer among women who drank wine, beer or liquor. Compared with light drinkers — those who had less than one drink a day — women who had one or two drinks a day increased their risk by 10 percent. Women who had more than three drinks a day raised their risk by 30 percent.
It isn’t clear how alcohol contributes to breast cancer, but some think it raises hormone levels in the blood to levels that could cause cancer.
