Flaxseed

Flaxseed can be a heart-healthy addition to your diet since it is high in fiber and heart-healthy fats. According to certain studies, it may even help in the suppression of cancer cell growth.

In one study, for more than a month, 32 breast cancer patients either received a flaxseed muffin daily or a placebo. At the end of the study, the flaxseed group showed higher levels of cancer cell death and lower levels of specific markers that assess tumor growth. In a different trial, flaxseed was used to treat 161 men with prostate cancer, and it was discovered to slow the growth and spread of cancer cells. Flaxseed contains a lot of fiber, which is thought to protect against colorectal cancer according to other research. Consider including one tablespoon (10 grams) of ground flaxseed in your diet each day by blending it into smoothies, adding it to cereal and yogurt, or baking with it.
