Best Food for Healthy Breasts: All part of a healthy diet, these foods also have antioxidants or compounds that can keep your body strong and healthy ...
webmd.com/women/ss/best-foods-healthy-breasts
Quick Glance: Nutrition for Strong Breasts
- Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and cabbage are rich in vitamins A and C, acting as antioxidants that can reduce the risk of breast cancer. It is recommended to sauté or blanch these vegetables to retain the maximum nutrients. Additionally, antioxidants should be obtained from food rather than supplements.
- Flax seeds have more lignans than any other food and are high in omega-3 fatty acids. These plant compounds contain fiber and the antioxidant phytoestrogen, which may prevent the formation of estrogen-stimulated breast cancer. It is advised to incorporate flax seeds (not flaxseed oil) into yogurt, oatmeal, salads, soups, smoothies, and muffins.
- Turmeric has been used for centuries to combat inflammation and early research suggests it may have two significant benefits in fighting breast cancer. Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, could potentially halt breast cancer spread and reduce chemotherapy damage. However, further research is necessary to validate these findings in human subjects.
- Foods such as tomatoes, carrots, and sweet potatoes contain carotenoids, which are converted into vitamin A and may lower the risk of certain types of breast cancer. However, more research is required to confirm this potential connection.

abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/climate-change-bringing-malaria-new-areas-africa-left-109606978
Quick Glance: Combatting Malaria: Challenges and Solutions
- Progress in reducing malaria has stalled in recent years, especially in African regions. Pregnant women, young children, and other vulnerable groups continue to have limited access to malaria services.
- Infants and young children are disproportionately affected by malaria, especially in poorer households in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant women are at increased risk of malaria due to immunity loss.
- Refugees, migrants, and indigenous peoples are also at higher risk of malaria and often lack access to necessary services.
- Climate change and humanitarian emergencies contribute to making vulnerable populations more susceptible to malaria. Measures like combating discrimination and integrating malaria control interventions into universal health coverage can help achieve a malaria-free world.
