Did you know that what you eat can play a role in reducing your risk of breast cancer? While there’s no single “miracle food”, research shows that a balanced diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods can help protect your long-term health.
Here are a few small but powerful changes you can make:
🥦 Pack in the plants – Aim for a variety of colourful fruit and veg. The fibre, vitamins and antioxidants they contain support your body’s natural defence system.
🥑 Choose healthy fats – Swap out processed and fried foods for nuts, seeds, olive oil and oily fish. These provide omega-3s that support cell health.
🍞 Fibre is your friend – Wholegrains, beans and pulses keep your digestive system healthy and may help regulate hormones linked to breast cancer risk.
🍷 Think about alcohol – Even small amounts of alcohol can raise your risk of breast cancer, so cutting down (or cutting it out) is one of the most impactful steps you can take.
It’s not about restriction or following a “perfect diet”, it’s about making consistent, balanced choices that nourish your body. Remember, little swaps add up over time.
✨ What’s one healthy swap you could make this week?
