National Cancer Institute guidelines for cancer prevention can be used to decrease the chance of a recurrence. We recommend five or more serving of fruit and vegetables daily. Whole grains are unprocessed foods that are high in complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. High fiber intakes may have a positive benefit by altering hormonal actions of breast and other hormonal-dependent cancers. Daily fiber intake should be 25-35 grams of insoluble and soluble fiber.
Controversy exists on the role of dietary fat on the promotion of breast cancer.
Some animal studies and epidemiological data have suggested that the type of fat consumed may initiate the development of breast cancer. Research has suggested that these fatty acids may inhibit the growth of breast tumors. The First 5 feet equal 100 pounds. To determine the rest of the weight, simply multiply 4.5 inches by 5 pounds. Many studies have demonstrated an association between body mass size and breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
