Vicki Shanta Retelny is a registered dietitian nutritionist. She says food is lifestyle medicine and can play a role in preventing breast cancer.  She recommends a variety of colorful plant foods for antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats, especially:Berries contain colorful pigments in their skin that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help fend off cancer.Blueberries, especially wild blueberries, have twice the antioxidants as conventionally grown blueberries. The blueish-purplish skins of blueberries contain anthocyanins, powerful pigments that prevent damage to the cells, which can lead to the proliferation of cancer cells.  Flaxseeds are packed with omega-3 fats, as well as lignans – a powerful plant estrogen, which is 800 times higher in flaxseeds than any other plant food. Ground flaxseeds (and lignans, in particular) have been shown to prevent breast cancer risk. Sprinkle a tablespoon or two into oatmeal, yogurt, and salads.Stories of Hope ...
