Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer. Studies have found that 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer. Men also face a risk of breast cancer, as 1 in 1,000 will be diagnosed with the disease.

When you think of this form of cancer, you likely relate the disease to genetic factors. While it’s true that certain genes, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, are linked to an increased risk of breast cancer, there are controllable factors that many people don’t know about.

What if what you ate increased your risk of suffering from breast cancer? Maybe you’ve heard a little bit about the link between coffee and breast cancer. There have also been studies that show a possible link between sugar and breast cancer. The bottom line is that what you eat may play a role in the likelihood of being diagnosed with cancer.

By eating a diet that consists mainly of foods that fight cancer, you may be able to minimize your risk of breast and other forms of cancer. The top breast cancer superfoods to include in your diet are:

  • Leafy green vegetables
  • Fruits
  • Whole grains

A plant-based diet is a common option for a healthier and more wholesome diet. A high-quality diet full of immune boosters improves your body’s ability to fight off infection and the production of harmful hormones in the body.
