"Studies now show as many as nine per cent of cancer cases could be prevented by dietary changes."

These food groups are great starters o what to include in a diet that can beat the big C! Start with five portions of vegetables and fruits every day.The abundant anti oxidants can prevent cancer cells from spreading and become a disease. There are some food sources that are rich in fibre that can also help reduce breast cancer.

"Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale and cabbage are a particularly excellent source of plant nutrients which have been shown to prevent the formation of cancer cells and stop the spread of cancer," Professor Keshtag said.

It is also good to add beans in a diet for they are a really good source of fibre and protein. Also add salad and soups to boost immune system.

It is very much encouraged to avoid processed food, sugar and saturated fats.

"Some preservatives that are used in the production of processed meats (bacon, ham and hot dogs, for example) are thought (but not proven) to be carcinogenic. A carcinogen being a substance or radiation directly involved with causing cancer." Professor Keshtag noted.

"Saturated fat is associated with the risk of developing post- menopausal breast cancer and poorer survival after breast cancer diagnosis," -Professor Keshtag.
