I kinda get like tenderness or like soreness
with my breasts when it's not that time of the month.
It's usually like a couple of weeks before.
So I'm kinda wondering what would be causing that.
A couple weeks before your period, you are ovulating.
So most breast pain, which by the way, 90 plus percent
of women experience at some point in their lives,
is from the hormonal fluctuations associated
with having menstrual cycles.
But your breasts respond to food a lot too,
so if you like caffeine, coffee, tea, chocolate?
Oh, no? I have coffee like once.
Like in the morning and then I'm done.
Okay, well that can effect breast pain.
As can salt, so if you eat a lot of salty things
it retains water in your breasts
which makes them heavier and hurt.
Here is a food that is anti-breast pain: Soy.
So tofu, soy milk, these have phytoestrogens,
plant-based estrogens, that actually,
despite what again you may have heard,
lower your body's estrogen levels and take away breast pain.
Huh, who knew?
So, I have a number of ways that food-
Can we interest you in some tofu?
(they laugh)
Here we have my ten super foods.
So we talk about, in the book, ad nauseum almost,
how much I love super foods.
So what they all have in common are phytonutrients,
or these chemicals unique to plants that literally
course through your blood,
doing things that cancer cells hate.
It takes away inflammation, they take away free radicals,
they lower estrogen levels,
they stop tumor blood vessel formation,
which they need to grow and live.
So all of these foods have all of that power.
A couple of my faves, cruciferous vegetables,
broccoli, cauliflower, the collard greens,
and kale is king. Kale, ah!
Another super food fave is fiber.
So it turns out you need 30 grams of fiber a day
to really effectively drop cancer by 50%.
Oh my god! Yes.
30 grams is not that hard to achieve,
and guess how many people do: Three percent of Americans.
That's pretty scary because look how much fiber is here:
13 grams in one avocado, you've got lentils and beans-
Two more of my faves.
15 grams per cup.
How hard is it to get 30?
So whole grains, another great source of fiber.
And then another secret favorite,
cause we wanna be sweet sometimes,
is chocolate, but I want it to be dark chocolate
and greater than 70% cacao.
Really anti-cancer.
Oh wait, is it really hard to eat all this stuff at once?
Then make it in ...
A smoothie!
(audience applauds)
This ...
You ladies are going to love this.
This is my cancer-kicking anti-oxidant smoothie.
I truly believe that it has more anti-oxidants
than any other single glass of goodness on planet Earth.
We're gonna start with our base of soy milk,
which, if you consume soy regularly,
even just a couple times a week,
60% less breast cancer than no soy.
Dang!
We already talked about how much I love
my cruciferous veggies, so we're gonna put some spinach,
and we could even put kale in here,
any kind of greens work.
Berries, the phytonutrients in berries are,
not only is there fiber in here,
but the anti-oxidants in here, again,
seek and destroy cancer cells.
They're like secret weapons.
Bananas have rutin, which is another anti-inflammatory.
One date, you think it's to make it sweet,
but no, it is because dates have fiber,
and fiber again binds estrogen in your GI tract
and estrogen feeds and fuels 80% of all breast cancer.
So the lower you can get estrogen the better.
Wow!
Cinnamon is a great anti-inflammatory.
Anti-inflammatory.
Rachael'll help me.
And then this is macha green tea powder.
Maybe pricy, you know, just cut a green tea bag open,
Dump it in there. And put the leaves in.
Polyphenols literally stop tumor cell production
and metastases.
Green tea, three cups of green tea a day
cuts breast cancer in half.
Cuts breast cancer recurrence by 50%.
Squeeze some lemon in there,
bumps the anti-oxidants by five times.
This is aloe vera gel, inner filet only.
It is gel, not juice.
It's anti-inflammation inside your body.
Okay, this- What's this guy?
Okay, well that is ground flax seeds.
Flax seeds!
Omega three fatty acids.
And this is turmeric.
Turmeric is not readily available
unless you combine it with black pepper.
The piperine in pepper makes it 2,000 times,
percent more bio available. Wow.
And this is my biggest secret weapon,
it's called Amla, it is the powdered Indian gooseberry,
has 124 times the anti-oxidant content of blueberries.
124 times. Wow!
It's the tippidy top of all foods on planet Earth.
Zap this? Zap and go.
Oh, please turn on.
(audience applauds)
So exciting.
I know, it's really exciting.
And it's pink.
Color of breast cancer awareness.
