    First of all, let me pour some cold water on everyone - there is currently no "special effect food" that can 100% protect the breasts and prevent breast diseases. The logic of a truly breast-friendly diet is actually to avoid clear risk categories on the basis of a balanced diet, and eat more natural foods that are beneficial to the body's metabolism. There is no need to stock up on a bunch of so-called "breast protection health products" and eat them blindly.

    I accompanied my best friend to the breast department for a review a while ago, and I met a 30-year-old girl. Category 1 breast nodules were found in the physical examination last year. I read on the Internet that Brassicaceae and dandelion can eliminate the nodules. I ate broccoli and cabbage for three months and soaked two large cups of dandelion water every day. However, the nodules did not go away during the review this year. Instead, because I drank cold dandelion water every day, my spleen and stomach were so weak that I had diarrhea after eating something cold. My overall appearance has changed a lot.

    In fact, many people have fallen into the misunderstanding of "deifying a single food" when it comes to breast-protecting diet. For example, the two most widely circulated statements are "soybeans can stimulate breast glands" and "soybeans can protect breasts." The current academic consensus is that daily normal consumption of soy products (a cup of soy milk or a palm-sized piece of tofu or fenugreek every day will do) will not increase the risk of breast disease at all. There are even some studies targeting Eastern A large sample study of Asian women shows that those who eat soy products in moderation over a long period of time have a slightly lower risk of breast cancer. However, if you take purified soy isoflavone supplements on your own, especially those who have breast nodules and uterine fibroids, it may indeed disrupt hormone levels in the body, which is not good.

    I used to know an emergency department nurse who had just worked for two years. She stayed up late every day and ate fried chicken and drank full-sugar milk tea when she was hungry. When she was only 26 years old, she was diagnosed with type 3 bilateral breast nodules. When the doctor calculated her BMI, she said her BMI was almost 27. The excess fat tissue will convert more free estrogen, which will stimulate the breast tissue for a long time. Later, she tried her best to give up milk tea and fried skewers, adjusted her diet and lost 6 pounds in 3 months. This year, the nodules have shrunk to Category 2 during the review.

    Many people also ask whether health products such as deep-sea fish oil, probiotics and even evening primrose oil can protect breasts. Current research has not yet reached a unified conclusion. Some small sample studies say that Omega3 can reduce inflammation and reduce irritation to the breasts, but others Large-scale follow-up of more than 100,000 cases did not find a clear connection between additional supplements and breast health. If you really want to eat, eat deep-sea fish, such as salmon and mackerel, two or three times a week, and drink more sugar-free yogurt at room temperature. It is much more reliable than spending a lot of money on supplements.

    To be honest, I have met so many people who come to consult about breast problems. It is true that there are very few problems caused by eating the wrong thing. Instead, most of them are anxious every day and stay up late to get angry. When you usually have dinner parties, order less full-sugar milk tea and replace it with unsweetened soy milk or light tea. When cooking, use less animal oil and use olive oil and tea seed oil. You don’t have to deliberately nibble on "breast-protecting vegetables" to make yourself miserable. A balanced diet and a stable mood are more effective than any breast-protecting tool.
