Stir-fried bok choy
More than one in 10 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, according to the National Cancer Institute. But following a diet high in broccoli, bok choy, Brussels sprouts, and other ?brassica? vegetables may improve your chances of beating back the disease, a new study suggests.
Women who consumed the highest amount of these vegetables had a 22- to 62-percent lower risk of dying from breast cancer, as well as a 21- to 35-percent lower risk of breast-cancer recurrence during a five-year study period, lead author Sara Nechuta, Ph.D., from Vanderbilt University, and her colleagues found. The researchers followed nearly 5,000 Chinese breast-cancer patients, the Daily Mail reported April 3.
High intake of brassica vegetables also reduced the risk of dying from any causes by 27 to 62 percent during the study period, the authors note.
Women in China eat greater quantities of brassica vegetables than women in Western countries, so switching to an Asian-style diet may be one way to increase your personal intake.
High brassica-vegetable consumption has also been linked to lower risk of colon cancer, previous research shows.
The findings were presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research in Chicago.
