High Fibre Diet Lowers Breast Cancer Risk
In a study on pre-menopausal women, scientists from the University of Leeds concluded that women who ate 30g of fibre a day had half the risk of developing breast cancer in comparison to those who ate less than 20g.
To eat 30g, a person would need to eat a high-fibre cereal for breakfast, switch from white or brown bread to wholemeal and ensure they have five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.
In addition to reducing breast cancer risk, a high fiber diet also help reduce risks of and heart disease and ailments of the digestive tract, including colon cancer.
