Foods to Eat for Breast Health
Fenugreek! You can Sprout it, use it ground as a spice or take ii as a supplement. From Livestrong: "Fenugreek was used to boost bust size and to stimulate breast milk production long before silicone breast implants and breast pumps ever existed. Used for centuries in Greek, Arabian and Indian medicine, fenugreek still enjoys a breast-friendly reputation."

From BreastCancer.org
"I believe wholeheartedly in my diet as a means of helping my body minimize the risk of cancer recurrence. I now look at everything I eat in a very mindful way, asking myself, 'How does this food nourish me? How does it promote my recovery?' By asking myself these questions, I am acknowledging that food nourishes both the body and the soul"
Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D.
Diet is thought to be partly responsible for about 30% to 40% of all
cancers. But diet alone is unlikely to be the "cause" or "cure" of
cancer. Although more research needs to be done on diet and breast
cancer, findings suggest that physical activity, a healthy diet
(particularly one low in fat and high in vegetables and fiber), and a
healthy weight can help reduce the risk of breast cancer or the cancer
coming back.
Broccoli and Broccoli Sprouts! From Easy Health Options,
So it’s no surprise that researchers studying women who have
been diagnosed with breast cancer find that those who eat the most cruciferous
vegetables — items like cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and broccoli —
have the best survival rate.
“Breast cancer survivors can follow the general nutritional
guidelines of eating vegetables daily and may consider increasing intake of
cruciferous vegetables, such as greens, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli, as
part of a healthy diet,” says researcher Sarah J. Nechuta, M.P.H., Ph.D., of
Vanderbilt University.
