Recent studies have now shown that maintaining a quality diet can help in preventing breast cancer among many women. It seems that diet is becoming more and more at the centre of prevention these days and with good reason, you are what you eat.
Perhaps the problem is that most of us maintain only short periods of good diet and it does not become effective until it’s a full time life habit. The speed and pressure of modern lifestyle can make it difficult to avoid the convenience of processed food but if we are worried about long term health the issue is clear – diet is crucial.
We all need to get a little more serious about it.
This diet is being referred to as the prudent diet. It’s made up of whole grains, vegetables of course and fish. The usual suspects are kept to a minimum such as red meats and white bread or any other form of starchy carbohydrates.
Among women who took part in the study, 20 percent of those on prudent daily diets were one third less likely to develop breast cancer in comparison to those on a more ‘western diet’ of fatty and processed foods. As always however these trials are rarely black and white…
One subject which did complicate the study was that of age and weight which are both important points. The exact reasons are still unclear but the studies suggest that the benefits afforded by a prudent diet are mostly for thinner women. Overweight women will still be at high risk despite maintaining a prudent diet.
The overall lesson is once again that diet does so many things for so many diseases and gives each of us a universal insurance policy against a great variety of possible diseases.
