Breast cancer is becoming more common among young women around the world. While we can&#8217;t change some things that cause breast cancer, like family history, we can make choices that might help prevent it. Here are some foods that women should eat to help lower their risk of breast cancer:



Soy Foods



Foods made from soy, like soybean, tofu, or soy milk, might help prevent breast cancer from coming back. But don&#8217;t eat too much soy, as some studies say it might not be good in large amounts.



Green Tea



Drinking green tea can be good for you. It has things in it that might stop cancer cells from growing. Women who drink more green tea seem to have less chance of their cancer spreading.



Green Leafy Vegetables



Vegetables like kontomire (cocoyam leaves) and alefu (spinach) are very good for you. They have special things called antioxidants that can help fight cancer. Women who eat more of these vegetables might have less risk of breast cancer.



Foods with Vitamin D



Getting enough Vitamin D is important. You can get it from sunlight or from foods that have extra Vitamin D added to them. Women with low Vitamin D seem to have a higher chance of getting breast cancer.



Citrus Fruits



Fruits like oranges and lemons are good for you. They have things in them that might help fight cancer. Women who eat enough of these fruits might have a lower chance of getting breast cancer.



Remember, eating these foods alone won&#8217;t stop breast cancer. 



It&#8217;s also important to Stop smoking, Drink less alcohol, Exercise regularly, Eat a balanced diet with many different healthy foods



It is important to include regular check ups as part of the prevention measures for detection of early breast cancer tumors. Early detections can help save your breast and your life.
