Early detection of the symptoms – by self-examination or screening test – can improve by 30% can improve the chances of survival. Those breast cancer which is discovered in time can be cured with good chance, so in case of ladies, prevention is very important which means proper nutrition, doing sports, regular, monthly self-examination and over 45 years the annual screening attendance!
You can do a lot for your health if you pay attention nutrition. A research group of City of Hope in California showed that cultivated mushroom contains substances that can reduce the activity of the enzyme aromatase which increase the hormone estrogen. Excessive estrogen production of the body has been shown that increase the risk of breast cancer. Regular consumption of button mushroom – according to the researchers – may help to prevent breast cancer by preventing to increase the level of estrogen in the body.
Cultivated mushrooms are low in calories, contain no fat and cholesterol and high in water and fiber content. They are rich in minerals (selenium, calcium, sodium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium) and vitamins (D, vitamin B) and antioxidanst.
