Apologies in advance to any of you trying to stick to New Year’s Resolution that may eliminate some of the “bad things” I’m about to mention…don’t say I didn’t warn you!
I’ve got to say, I love to read any reports and studies that support my addictions -ahem, I mean affection for three “food” groups that may help prevent breast cancer.
The most commonly known snacks that have been linked by a variety of health studies to help reduce the risk of breast cancer include:
Now of course, the caveat when you read any of these studies about so-called “superfoods that fight breast cancer”, is that they recommend you only consume such things in moderation.
What does that even mean?
Of course, there are also many proven studies and common sense that says an addiction to coffee and alcohol can have negative health effects, among other issues with alcohol addiction. So it goes without saying you should enjoy these two breast cancer fighting foods responsibly.
Eating moderate amounts of chocolate, dark chocolate to be more accurate, has also been linked to the prevention of breast cancer and heart disease - the real leading killer of women. So shouldn’t we all indulge, just a little?
That is the key right there – a little! Most recommendations state: “eating up to 20gm (two small squares) of dark chocolate every three days lowers the risk of heart disease by one-third in women”
Of course, one of the reasons eating a limited amount of chocolate in particular is the potential weight gain associated with indulging in decadent chocolates and desserts. And carrying an unhealthy amount of weight can actually increase your risk of breast cancer.
If you’re not a coffee drinker, chocoholic, or wine lover (really?? not one of those things? what’s wrong with you??? j/k!!) – ypu can also give these related items as gifts which donate to breast cancer charities!
