Eat Right: Potentially Reduce Breast Cancer Risk

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we're here with some helpful info. Getting the right nutrients could up your body's cancer-fighting abilities, so here are some fantastic foods that may aid in breast cancer prevention...

Nuts and Seeds - These guys are full of healthy fats and potential anticancer properties. Go for almonds and walnuts (check out Emerald's 100 Calorie Packs of Natural Walnuts and Almonds), flax seeds (we love Kashi's Pumpkin Spice Flax granola bars and thin-crust pizzas made with flax seeds), and pumpkin seeds (give it up for Kashi again, with its delicious seed-sprinkled Mayan Harvest Bake).

Fruits and Veggies - The more, the better. Broccoli, cabbage, spinach, and berries are all excellent sources of phytochemicals, which may assist in disease prevention. BTW, eating your veggies raw or lightly cooked is the best way to retain those good-for-you nutrients.

Whole Grains - Experts say high-fiber carbs might not trigger cell growth in breast tissue the way that white carbs (like flour and rice) could. So go for oats, bran, whole-wheat flour, and brown rice.
