Fermented foods

Probiotics are one part of the puzzle when it comes to cancer. Fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, kombucha, and cultured vegetables should be included in everyone's diet, regardless of gender. Probiotics and other nutrients found in fermented foods like yogurt, kimchi, miso, and sauerkraut may help protect against breast cancer.

Fermented foods are high in probiotics, which are live “healthy” bacteria and yeasts. Probiotics are also good for your digestion. In some epidemiological research, probiotics and fermented food containing lactic acid bacteria were linked to a lower risk of breast cancer. In both Western and Asian populations, an analysis of 27 research linked fermented dairy products like yogurt and kefir to a lower risk of breast cancer. According to animal studies, this protective effect is linked to the immune-boosting properties of certain probiotics.
