Nuts peuvent fight against breast cancer.

We have all heard the expression ""an Apple a day is the doctor," but did you nuts can also contribute to the fight against the breast? A recent study on mice, presented at the April 2009 American Association for Cancer Research 100th annual meeting, found that by adding the human equivalent of two ounces of walnuts for their daily food, impact and tumors in mice breast size was greatly reduced."

A reason for this reduction of growth of the tumor may be due to the fact that the nuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids: antioxidants and phytosterols. Phytosterols are binding to the estrogen receptor.Since many breast cancers are positive estrogen, which means that they are powered by estrogen, it is estimated that phytosterols in nuts may slow the growth of estrogen-related breast cancer .Tandis researchers emphasize there have been no specific studies on the effects of the nuts on the human breast we know a healthy diet of fruit, vegetables, grains, seeds and nuts may prevent many cancers, diabetes and heart disease.Thus, instead of reaching for the potato chips and cookies when you want a snack, how a handful of nuts?

Each afternoon I go outside with my dogs, Sam and Goldie and soak sunlight - dealt paraben-free sunscreen - and have an Apple and a handful of nuts when that time my mother tongue is hard at work, try to dislodge the last vestige little nut sandwiched between my teeth arrière.Pardon me while I reach for the Floss.
