Plant-Based Diets For Breast Pain

DESCRIPTION: Plant-based diets appear to offer relief from a variety of menstrual symptoms, including cramping, bloating, and breast pain (cyclical mastalgia). The spice saffron is one plant in particular that may help. See Saffron for the Treatment of PMS (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/saffr...) and Wake Up and Smell the Saffron (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/wake-...). In my next video I'll cover another, in Flax Seeds For Breast Pain (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flax-...).

Another reason meat consumption may interfere with ovulatory function is explained in my video Meat Hormones & Female Infertility (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/meat-...).

The extraordinarily low rates of chronic disease among those eating traditional plant-based Bantu diets was one of the inspirations for Nathan Pritikin's work. See the series of videos that starts with Engineering a Cure (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/engin...).

More on the medical profession's traditional views on women in my video Plant-Based Bioidentical Hormones (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant...). And I have more than a hundred other videos on women's health (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/wome...).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant... and he'll try to answer it!
