I eat a handful of pumpkin seeds every morning.

Pumpkin seeds may offer protective effects against certain cancers, based on preclinical and observational studies.

They contain antioxidants, magnesium, zinc, and healthy fatty acids that may help reduce inflammation and inhibit cancer cell growth

Laboratory studies show pumpkin seed extracts can suppress proliferation and induce cell death in prostate cancer cells (like PC-3) and breast cancer cells, independent of hormone receptors

Diets rich in pumpkin seeds have been associated with a lower risk of stomach, breast, lung, prostate, and colon cancers . Additionally, pumpkin seeds are a rich source of magnesium, which may support immune function and help immune cells target cancer cells

I also eat 3 walnuts and a handful of almonds, crush them up and put in my Greek yogurt for breakfast.

Yes, some supplements can negatively impact the efficacy of various meds. Before starting chemo the PCP ran a nutrition panel, and found a few areas lacking. We ran the results and recommended supplements past the oncology team. They had no issues with the recommendations so we proceeded. Once treatment for me ended, I have more flexibility, I share any info I find that gives me reason to consider a supplement, and get her input before adding something to my regimen. Good luck!

Mine get ground and put in my oatmeal- lol! For me, it is easier to keep making better choices IF I start the day with a healthy choice! Hugs!

in addition pendent of hormone receptors,” the cancer cells do not rely on hormones like estrogen or progesterone to grow — and the treatment or effect being discussed works even in cancers that lack these receptors.
