Jakarta –
The increased risk of breast cancer makes it necessary for women to maintain their lifestyle. One of them is by consuming these 5 healthy foods.
Breast cancer is a type of cancer that forms in breast tissue. It can grow uncontrollably and take over healthy and surrounding breast tissue.
It is not yet known what factors cause cancer cells to grow around the breast. However, women are at risk of developing this disease when they are overweight, menstruate at a young age, or have a smoking habit.

The bad news is that the incidence of breast cancer is increasing among women. As the risk increases, it is important to prevent it by implementing good lifestyle measures.
By stopping drinking alcohol and smoking, exercising more, and eating healthy foods can help prevent the risk of breast cancer.
If you want to focus on switching to a healthy diet, there are a number of the best foods that are most recommended for consumption.
According to the Times of India (02/10/2024), here are 5 foods that prevent the risk of breast cancer:

Soy products, such as edamame, tofu, or soy milk can prevent the risk of breast cancer.
Because, according to a meta-analysis published in the JNCI Cancer Spectrum journal, soybeans contain isoflavones which have been linked to reducing the risk of breast cancer by up to 26%.
However, a series of studies mentioned by the Times of India say that consuming high amounts of isoflavones can actually increase the risk of developing breast cancer.
Overall, consuming soybeans can actually prevent breast cancer and prevent recurrence, but don’t consume it excessively.
2. Green tea

Green tea lovers can benefit from consuming this nutritious drink. It contains polyphenols which inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells.
According to Mount Sinai, in a study of 472 women with various stages of breast cancer, researchers found that women who drank the most green tea had the least spread of cancer.
