Breast cysts are usually
not dangerous when detected and treated in time. They result from benign
deformities in the mammary glands. But according to Mathieu Tobossi, Specialist
in Diet Therapy and Specialist in Food Hygiene and Quality, they can be prevented
with a good diet.
Breast cysts are caused by an
accumulation of fluid in nodules. They occur either as a result of hormonal
changes in a woman's body, poor lifestyle and diet, or a weight-related
problem.
If the nodules are treated in time, the
risk of them growing and developing into breast cancer is avoided. Every woman
should recognise the presence of nodules by palpating her breasts. This method
allows the detection of abnormalities and the early diagnosis of a breast cyst.
A normal breast is smooth to the touch.
If, on the other hand, it is painful and has lumps of varying sizes or fluid
coming out of the nipple, it may be an alteration in the glands that has given
rise to breast tumours or cysts. To confirm the diagnosis, it is always essential
to consult a specialist. Only he or she can advise on the best alternatives in
each case.
What diet should be
adopted?
The possibility of breast cysts forming
is especially high in women aged between 30 and 60. However, it can be avoided
by a healthy lifestyle and, above all, by a healthy and balanced diet. « The
ideal would be to consume daily organic products rich in nutrients that promote
good blood circulation in the breast cells and maintain normal hormone
levels », says Mathieu Tobossi, a specialist in diet therapy and a
specialist in food hygiene and quality.
Good fats
Fatty acids are essential for the
health of the body. However, they can be found in natural, organically grown or
farmed products that are not treated with chemicals. « Favour foods
containing omega-3 and omega-6 such as wild salmon or poultry, borage oil and
primrose oil to reduce the risk of breast cyst formation », recommends
Mathieu Tobossi, a specialist in dietary therapy.
Also, « reduce consumption of
saturated fats and carbohydrates. Grilled red meat, cold cuts, cured meats,
bread, rice and pasta should be reduced, as they are an abundant source of
saturated or trans fats and carbohydrates », says Mathieu Tobossi.
Fibre and vitamins
The specialist in Food Hygiene and
Quality shows that "fibre, vitamins A and E, which are also powerful
antioxidants, help reduce the risk of breast cysts. Green tea, raw fruit and
vegetables, almonds, olive oil, sesame seeds, whole grains should be included
in your diet.
A good diet is the secret to avoiding
serious diseases. But these precautions should be complemented by daily
physical exercise and self-checking by palpation.
