Mediterranean countries have much lower rates of breast cancer because their meals are powered by olive oil, loads of fresh produce, and healthy fats. I wrote a whole blog on it [1], and luckily, you don’t have to live in the Mediterranean to benefit from their healing diet. This warm cabbage salad is scrumptious, comforting, healing, and very easy to make. You can even save the sauce to liven up other meals.
Breast healthy eating really can be like you on vacation—never eat a boring meal again!
