1) Mammogram screening is of extreme
importance (Contact
one of our MBH health educators to have one booked for you!)
2) Including more unsaturated
fats than saturated or trans- fats in your diet
3) Become active and exercise
4) Increase the intake of phytochemical rich
veggies in your diet such as Broccoli, Spinach, Kale, carrots and tomatoes are
examples of vegetables that decrease your cancer risk. Walnuts and Pomegranate
are shown to have phytochemicals that suppress estrogen, reducing breast cancer
5) Decrease Alcohol intake
What are some of the
fruits or vegetables that you greatly enjoy? Do you know their health benefits
or if they are rich in Phytochemicals?
