As a breast cancer fighter or survivor, it is important to eat seeds like flax seeds (also called linseeds) as much as possible. Flax seeds are the richest dietary source of lignans, a type of phytoestrogen, a nutrient that is quite similar to the female hormone oestrogen. For someone that has hormonal breast cancer, lignans may act as an antioxidant and prevent or slow cancer cell growth.

According to Cancer Research UK and studies carried out on breast cancer cells in mice show that flaxseeds might help to make the hormone drug tamoxifen and antibody treatment Herceptin work better. Other powerful foods rich in lignans are chia seeds, sesame seeds, kale and broccoli.
