Contrary to the media brouhaha, recent analysis of the medical literature show no statistically significant relationship between hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer. Regular moderate physical exercise strengthens the heart, reduces body fat, and boosts the immune system. Exactly why exercise is so protective is subject to speculation, but it appears to modulate the production of estrogen and progesterone. Again, my point is that getting a mammogram will likely not reduce your risk of dying from breast cancer. A supplement program similar to Forward provides therapeutic doses of these nutrients.
Recommendations Eat plenty of fruit, vegetables, legumes, and grains.
Incorporate soybeans into your diet. There are now many soybean-based products available, not only in health food stores, but in your supermarket. One of the favorite meals prepared by the chef at Whitaker Wellness Institute is Boca Burgers, frozen soy-based burgers sold in health food stores. Add one-fourth cup of flax seed to your daily diet , to ensure you get enough fiber, as well as plan lignans. Some flax oils have added lignans, but I prefer to take whole flax seed, grind it in a coffee grinder, and sprinkle it on my cereal, or just drink it in water.
