Eight Foods This Breast Cancer Survivor Eats Daily

My cancer diagnosis prompted me to change many things. My diet was one of those things that changed the most. I started looking at foods that prevent cancer and foods that promote cancer. I’m now a little over seven years past my aggressive breast cancer diagnosis, and these are the eight foods this breast cancer survivor eats daily:
Blueberries.
These gifts of nature not only cut off blood supply to cancer tumors, but they also prevent heart disease and dementia by enhancing the health of the endothelial lining in your blood vessels while building the immune system.
Dark, leafy greens.
These leafy greens which contain chlorophyll support healthy aging and bone health, balance blood sugar, improve inflammation response, protect brain health, and boost the immune system.
Cruciferous vegetables.
This family of vegetables helps to prevent cancers, but especially estrogen-driven cancers. They contain sulforaphane-a powerful cancer fighter and estrogen reducer. I eat 1-2 servings a day of these gems. The American Cancer Society began promoting the benefits of cruciferous vegetables for cancer patients back in 1985. The natural chemicals in these plants are extracted and sold to reduce estrogen in those with high estrogen levels.
Avocadoes.
Not a day goes by that I don’t eat at least one-half of an avocado. They’re one of the healthy fats that is a superstar fruit. It’s great in guacamole and on salads, but in a smoothie, it helps you to absorb the vitamins and minerals.
Fiber from seeds.
Seeds are some of the most nutrient-dense foods and they provide healthy fiber. The three I use the most are flax, chia, and hemp seeds. Flax seeds help lower estrogen and are great for estrogen-fed cancer patients. These three seeds are the superstars for providing fiber for the gut and plant protein. In the next few weeks, we will examine the benefits of flax, chia, and hemp seeds and you’ll discover why I eat a combination of all three seeds each day.
Probiotic foods.
These fermented foods are good for our gut lining-which is where 70 percent of our immune system cells are located. These foods provide good bacteria that feed off the leafy greens, seeds with fiber, and fruit and vegetable fiber.
Nuts.
Walnuts have the most cancer-fighting power, but nuts such as cashews, almonds, pecans, etc. all fight cancer while providing healthy fats and plant-based proteins.
Mushrooms.
After hearing an interview with medical doctor and nutritionist, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, on the benefits of eating mushrooms daily, I’m now adding this to my daily food intake. I’m now including mushrooms in my salads, soups, casseroles, and in my daily smoothie in powder form. Mushrooms reduce inflammation, lower LDL cholesterol, improve the health of blood vessels, increase insulin sensitivity, boost the immune system, and prevent cancer, especially breast and prostate cancers.
It's not hard to eat these foods daily when you drink a smoothie each day as a meal replacement. My smoothie contains dark, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, avocado, blueberries, probiotics such as sauerkraut and yogurt, and a mixture of flax, chia, and hemp seeds. Some days I add a powdered mushroom to my smoothie. Now you know why I drink a smoothie each day which contains 8 superfoods.
