One woman in nine will develop breast cancer (乳腺癌) over her lifetime. However, a healthy diet can reduce your risk of developing the disease by 40 to 60 percent.

Generally speaking, eating more vegetables can reduce your risk of developing breast cancer by 60 percent. Vegetables like cabbage are rich in fiber (纖維), can lower your risk of developing breast cancer. To get the most from their goodness, it's recommended that you eat at least three to four cups of these vegetables per week.

It's the oleic acid (油酸) contained in olive oil. American scientists conducting laboratory research have observed that oleic acid has a beneficial effect on breast cancer cells. Olive oil is the richest source of this acid, so whenever possible, use it in place of butter.

Eating fruit is another excellent way to help prevent the development of breast cancer. In fact, women who do eat fruit are six percent less likely to develop the disease. The American Institute for Cancer Research considers berries (漿果類) (blueberries, strawberries, etc.) to be powerful for breast cancer fighters.

It's the lycopene (番茄紅素), found in great quantities in tomatoes, that can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. The lycopene found in canned tomatoes is more readily absorbed by the body than that contained in fresh ones, so add tomato juice, paste, and sauce to your diet.

As a result of various studies, the American Institute for Cancer Research has concluded that components (成分) found in green tea can help halt the development of cancerous tumours (瘤) and even prevent them from appearing in the first place. Three cups a day will help you get the benefits of green tea.

    I arrived at my mother’s home for our
Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was
pulling out quilt(被子)after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She
was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold
and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box.
I pulled it out. “What is this?” I asked.
    


    “Oh?” Mom said, “That’s Mama’s quilt.” 
    


    I spread the quilt. It looked at if a group
of school children had pieced it together; irregular designs, childish
pictures, a crooked line on the right.
    


    “Grandmother made this?” I said, surprised.
My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn’t look like
any of the quilts she had made.
    


    “Yes, right before she died. I brought it
home with me last year and made some changes,” she said. “I’m still working on
it. See, this is what I’ve done so far.”
    


    I looked at it more closely. She had made
straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched(縫) a piece of cloth with these
words:  “My mother made many quilts. She didn’t get all lines straight.
But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.” 
    


    “Ooh, this is so nice, Mom,” I said. It
occurred to me that by completing my grandmother’s quilt, my mother was
honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family
treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the
loving hands of another.
