There are about 10 million cancer survivors in the United States — the largest group of people living with a chronic disease. But, a recent report shows that only 5 percent of cancer survivors are meeting the goals for diet, activity and quitting smoking.
The good news is that the better that cancer survivors adhere to the recommendations, the better the outcome, including a higher quality of life. Walnuts were shown to slow breast cancer tumors in mice.
Walnuts contain omega-3-fatty acids called alpha-linolenic acids, vitamin E, and fiber — all nutrients that may reduce cancer growth.
