I’m diving into the latest studies on diet and reducing the risk of breast cancer…\u00a0 A big scientific review, including studies with thousands of women, found those who ate the highest amount of wholegrains had a lower risk of breast cancer.<\/p>\n

How?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s thought to be thanks to the abundance of beneficial plant chemicals (called phytochemicals) in different wholegrain cereals.<\/p>\n

Wholegrains are also a great source of fibre to feed your good gut bacteria, plus eating plenty of wholegrains has also been linked with lower risk of diabetes, heart disease and other cancers.<\/p>\n

That’s certainly not to say that diet will prevent you from getting breast cancer – it’s complex and a lot of different factors, including genetics, play a role. But it does mean getting plenty of fibre from diverse sources and making the most of wholegrains is seriously worth considering.<\/p>\n

My top tip: try to aim for 3 portions of wholegrains every day (along with fruit, veggies, beans and pulses, nuts and seeds).<\/p>\n

What are wholegrains exactly?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Essentially they are grains that are whole, the ones that haven’t been stripped of all their goodness such as jumbo oats, wheat berries, quinoa, whole barley etc.<\/p>\n

What about packaged foods?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a helpful trick to determine whether the food really is wholegrain, coming in November’s Newsletter (sign up in bio).<\/p>\n

And if you think whole grains are boring or less tasty, get experimenting! Lots of fibre-filled recipes on my website and in my book to experiment with a variety of grains.<\/p>\n
