Cruciferous Vegetables

Today I was cleaning out some paperwork in my dayplanner that I felt was important to save. I have some new apps on my Iphone that allow me to scan and file with the click of a button. I picked up a paper from my surgeon that performed a lumpectomy a couple of years ago on me. She said my diet was very important and vital to breast health to prevent this from happening again. I filed that paper away but tried to eat a healthier diet. When I was in Cometoloty school I found myself on a budget and also like so many others, short of time. I made my lunch often but some days I just wanted to eat fast food. Once you eat it, you crave it. It was cheap and easy to pick up, not to mention fast! Well a few months ago I discovered another lump. I went to her again and she did a biopsy. Thank the Good Lord it was a non-cancerous and it has become smaller. She gave me a new print out which was a TSA Diet for Breast Health. I saw many on the list that I was NOT doing.
Exercise was one that I have gotten lazy about. She suggest 4 - 5 times a week to do aerobic activity for at least 30 minutes.
She suggest to control body fat.
 Decrease caffeine to one serving a day.
Vitamin E ( almonds are a good sorce)
Omega 3-FA (wild salmon, tuna, flax seed, & walnuts) This one is vital
Fiber  30-50 grams daily
Antioxidants ( especially orange and green)
Vitamin D
Vitamin C (anti-inflammatory)
Consider organic (avoiding chemical estrogens in pesticides or as an additive in meats or dairy)
*** Eat Cruciferous vegetables (cabbage & broccoli, collards,etc) She said they contain Indole-3 Carbinal which acts like Tamoxifen in your body. Tamoxifen is chemotheropy. Well I heard a Dr. about a year ago when I was doing research for my Mother which was fighting Cancer. It also said to eat at least 3 of those foods on the list to naturally fight cancer just as if you were taking powerful chemotheropy.
These are Anti-Angiogenesis foods. Take a look at this link: http://www.ted.com/talks/william_li.html

I felt led to share this information today. Please read over it and share with your loved ones and friends. We all need to eat a balanced healthy diet. If we could get away from processed foods and eat well, we can take control of our health and lead better lives. God Bless!
