Breast hyperplasia, what food to eat

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Patients with hyperplasia can consume the following foods, which have the effects of promoting qi circulation, resolving stagnation, and dispersing nodules.
1. Vegetables and fruits rich in fiber. Consuming more fiber-rich vegetables can slow down gastric emptying, prolong the time food spends in the digestive tract, reduce fat absorption, thereby inhibiting fat synthesis, lowering hormone levels, and aiding in the recovery of hyperplasia. Researchers have also found that cabbage contains indole-3-carbinol (about 1% of its weight), a compound that helps break down estrogen.
2. Daily options include vegetables such as sweet potatoes, chives, celery, asparagus, carrots, pole beans, amaranth, and Chinese cabbage. Fruits like bananas, mulberries, pomegranates, kiwis, and loquats are also recommended. It is advised to consume 500 grams of vegetables and 250 grams of fruit daily.
3. Soy-based products contain isoflavones, which can lower estrogen levels in women, reduce breast discomfort, inhibit the occurrence of hyperplasia, and promote breast health. It is recommended to drink a cup of soy milk in the morning and consume tofu or tofu skin 3 to 5 times a week. Dairy products such as milk and yogurt contain substances that can inhibit the activity of cholesterol reductase in the body and stimulate the immune system, benefiting breast health. Drinking a bottle of yogurt daily can reduce fat absorption and lower the incidence of hyperplasia.
