An overwhelming amount of research has shown that a diet rich in fruit and vegetables can help reduce the chances of developing breast cancer, according to National Dietetic Association reprehensive Jeannie Maloo. "We should all be eating about nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day," she said. Brightly-colored fruits and vegetables, due to high levels of antioxidants and phytochemicals, are particularly healthful.

Food rich in animal fats should ideally be limited; protein can more healthfully be found in legumes and beans. Alcohol may also be harmful, because it can indirectly fuel tumor growth. However, dark chocolate -- especially chocolate with over 70 percent cocoa content -- can help increase resistance to breast cancer.
