cut your risk of deadly breast cancer with a diet rich in..

I read an article which says that a new study from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School found that: 

" A diet rich in CAROTENOIDS (nutrients found in red-orange fruits and vegetable such as carrots,cantaloupe, and tomatoes) is associated with a lower risk of breast cancer".

It is especially so when it comes to reducing the aggressive types of cancers, which affect about 58,000 women every year. 


Carotenoids are special because 

  1. Some are actually precursors to vitamin A, which helps in the regulation of cell growth and death
  2. They are rich in antioxidants which help eliminate cancer-promoting free radicals.
  3. Enhances the immune system


Sooooo for your next meal, why don't you try adding more of these colorful fruits to your plate, and then your stomach? hee hee. :)
